upgrade

I just completed an upgrade from Drupal 5 with CiviCRM 2.0 to Drupal 6 with CiviCRM 2.2 on a site with multisite hosting. Perhaps my experiences will help someone else.

I lack sysadmin skills but can use basic UNIX commands and copy and paste MySQL and php. In most cases, Google helped when I got stuck.

I have two installations:

(1) test.nccommunities.org where folks learn how things work, test upgrades, and try out new modules. The site also offers CiviCRM with sample data for people to explore.

(2) nccommunities.org which has seven additional sites running under it.

I just upgraded a client's site to 6.12 and I'm a newbie at all this. So I followed the instructions, backed up the DB (and since it's a new site....there's practically no data) backed up the files and then deleted everything from the server and uploaded 6.12. Hit update.php and did the upgrade. Now i get redirected to the install.php page no matter what I do. Fix?

I have just finished my first updates of Drupal and it went very smooth.

The only thing that was a bit annoying was the part about disabling and enabling non core modules. I had to go over the list four times, when disabling, as dependencies blocked disabling some modules until other modules had been disabled.

This got me to think that there must be an easier way to do this. What I came up with is, in my view, both a simple and elegant solution.

Simply add a "Drupal Core Upgrade/Update" option in the Site Maintenance configuration.

I pushed through with some of the changes I was making on monday, and implemented a mechanism for provision to conditionally include version specific code. What this means, is that 1 checkout of provision, will now have all the information it needs to manage any supported version of Drupal you throw at it.

The Boston sprint is dedicated to upgrading drupal.org's Drupal 5 platform to Drupal 6, in preparation for the redesign. During this week-long sprint at One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) offices in Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA, we plan to get a working upgrade path for the existing drupal.org databases, port the project infrastructure to Drupal 6, and implement Views, among other issues.

Please see the project issues list and email Susan MacPhee at susanemacphee@gmail.com to volunteer expertise on issues you can help resolve.

In your email, please include your level of time commitment, Drupal experience background, and which tasks you would like to help with.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan.

Hello,

My upgrade from 4.7 to 5.0 went awry when I noticed none of the dozen or so image galleries show up anymore: http://projectharambee.org/help_africa_aid/image

Upon checking the Categories page, I realized the system had created a new and identical image gallery vocabulary, like it would by default in a new installation to enable image galleries.

See screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/saneplanet22/Misc#5245304808618622066

The new vocab doesn't contain any terms.

What are the costs of Drupal consulting, please?

I am building the technology budget for the coming year and want to try to include something for Drupal consulting.

We expect to receive approval to change our church name this Wednesday and so I will need to port over to the new URL and during that time update Drupal, PhP, SQL, etc.

I need someone to assist with doing the transition right and in getting several new features working, roughly in this order of priority:

Linked calendars (master & sub-ministry calendars)
Distributed web area updating by ministry leaders

i'm working on a replacement site using Drupal and phpBB3. I already have a phpBB3 forum up and running, and have around 27500 posts and over 1300 users.

I've managed to install the phpBB module, and get users to be able to log in, and post, play around etc.

I know this isnt production ready yet, and i'm just playing around, but how would I go about inserting all my existing data into this bridge? db backup and then upload it?
