Upgrading Drupal

Hi,
I've just downloaded the actual drupal 6.4 package and followed the instructions at upgrade.txt (before having used 6.3).
I run update.php (after deleting everything on the server, copying 6.4 and the files-directory + .htaccess).
It says 1 of 8 then suddenly a blank site appears.
Now I have only blank sites.
Please help!
thanks a lot.

you can take a look at the problem here: www.volleytraining.de

Upgraded my Drupal install with to 5.10 from 5.7, following closely to the UPGRADE.TXT instructions.

Site back up and running. However, when I flip over to the Status Report, the Drupal installation number still says "5.7", as well as all the core modules in the modules page.

What gives?

I have bumped into problems while upgrading my drupal page from 6.3 to 6.4

I've upgraded my old drupal from 5.2 to 5.3, so I used the exact same method:

1) Off all non-core modules
2) Backup folders.

But after backup, when I was about to run update.php, this line popped in front of my screen:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in (mywebsite) includes/common.inc on line 3555

What should I do next?

Thanks,
Jeremy.

Hi,

I still have Drupal 5.3 and decided that I should upgrade ASAP.

Upgrading Drupal is way too complicated. From UPGRADE.txt:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Place the site in "Off-line" mode, to mask any errors from
site visitors.

4. Disable contributed modules and switch to a core theme
(Bluemarine or Garland).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why isn't it possible to have a configuration setting 'upgrade drupal' and this setting places the site in offline mode, disables all the contributed modules etc.?

When I wanted to disable the modules I needed to reload the page 3 times because I couldn't deactivate modules that were required by other modules i already deactivated! So save, and try again - now I can disable some more modules, and one more time. Luckily I had disabled all modules by then.

Next step:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Remove all of the old files and directories from the Drupal
installation directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which installation directory? /var/www/drupal? something within drupal?

And many more manual steps have to be done...

for some wierd reason i just uploaded update.php and overwrote the existing one
and when i check the version of my drupal its saying tis upto date. Did i do something wrong here?

please help a newbie thanks

Hi everybody,

I swear I've been searching. Do I need to upgrade from 6.2 (which is the version I am currently using) to 6.3 and then from 6.3 to 6.4 or may I just skip 6.3 and go directly from 6.2 to 6.4? Thanks for your time.
