Upgrading Drupal

I noticed the other day that on every install of Drupal 5.10, that the version number is not displaying in the log records in a consistant manner. For example, on an install on a live site it shows as the proper version number in the display of the Upgrade module, but in the Status report it is still saying it is Drupal 5.9. I did a fresh install on my development platform of Drupal 5.10, and - on this - it is showing the wrong version in both places! Very odd!

Guess I can't add screenshots to this message...

I've updated a development server from Drupal 5.7 to Drupal 5.10 without issues. Now, I'm attempting to migrate the changes to the production server. When I run update.php I'm getting a White Screen of Death and the log shows errors like:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/html/modules/system/system.install on line 1506".

The relevant part of system.install is but, I think this is just a clue:

Having recently attempted an upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4, my client's site is in critical condition. Luckily, I backed up the database using PHPMyAdmin and copied the entire installation directory so I should (hopefully) be able to restore everything to working order.

To complete the upgrade, I removed the entire 6.3 installation after backing up and copied the contents of the tarball to my site directory. After replacing sites/default/settings.php, the files directory and my modules on the new installation, I ran update.php. After the updates completed with no errors, I saw that my theme was not compatible with 6.4. I promptly deleted the directory again and copied the archived 6.3 installation back to its original location. Once the files were back in their original places, I restored the database from my backup using PHPMyAdmin again. This brought on the real problems.

Hello All,

I bought a new server and plan to transfer the old drupal site to the new server. In my readings I found that windows server 2008 needs to have PHP non-thread-safe version installed and the php version i am using currently is 5.2.5. So do I or can i upgrade the old site to the non-thread-safe version and then move drupal over or will that even work? Or can I just move the site over from 5.2.5 to non-thread-version 5.2.6 and it will work?

Do you know of any other problems I may run in to by using windows server 2008?

I will shortly be upgrading from 6.x to the latest on my home computer and the siteground one

question is this: what does either an xss or an injection sql attack look like?

will i be able to see strange database activity in the mysql logs if the site has been compromised?

could somebody please point me to any related discussion of these topics that does more than mention them by name

oh btw, great to see a lively and informative upgrade discussion

thanx
lou

I use panel module to create my frontpage, on which I insert some views into the grids.

After upgrading from 5.7 to 5.10, those views on the frontpage can't display unless I empty the cache_views table before refresh.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Because I can't empty the table every time before refreshing the page.

thanks!
