manual install of 7.26 Security update

Clayton, I am not yet able to update Openaid to 7.26.

I copied the existing ./sites and ./profiles folders to a safe place and copied the 7.26 files into the site home directory. I changed the permissions on the new ./sites and ./profiles folders to be writable and copied the previous ./sites and ./profiles folders over the 7.26 ones.

I took the site out of maintenance mode and ran a status report. It came back as updated to 7.26 but in need of a database update. The link to the update database script brought me to a "Unable to find Profile" screen.

I clicked back in the browser (firefox) and tried to rerun the report. I was brought to the page "Select an installation profile" "OpenAid Site" "Install all the modules and features for an OpenAid base site." This is I believe the Install.php.

Now any action will bring up the "Select an installation profile" page. I haven't proceeded past that page yet. Do I need to make a change to the index.php file?

Cedway, thanks for your help.

I was successfully able to go through the process on my shared host at hostgator with no issues.

Then I went through things again locally (MacBook OSX 10.9.2) and the status report now shows 7.26 installed. (Success!!?). If I were to guess at why I was having the problem before I'd guess file permissions need to be read-write for everybody on the sites and profiles folders, files, and sub-folders. At the very least the index.php file could not find the profiles folder and/or contents.

However --
I did "chmod -R 777 saveworldart"
I did update manager which identified 14 modules to update. I entered the ftp username and password and got errors as edited below:

====partial quote below=====================
Error message
Update failed! See the log below for more information. Your site is still in maintenance mode.
entity
Error installing / updating
File Transfer failed, reason: Unable to remove to directory /Users/SolarCoy/Sites/saveworldart/profiles/openaid/modules/contrib/entity
====partial quote above=====================

with the same information for: leaflet, ctools, webform, context, date, extlink, features, field_group, geofield, libraries, link, transliteration, views_load_more, and views_slideshow.

and, seemingly inconsistent, at the bottom of the page:

++++partial quote below+++++++++++++++++++++++
Your modules have been downloaded and updated.
Run database updates
++++partial quote above+++++++++++++++++++++++

Could it be that the errors above are false negatives? The folders were already in place and did have contents.

I went ahead and ran the db updates and everything seemed to work (success!!?) with the following exception that I don't know what to make of:

Strict warning: Declaration of simple_ol_popup::options_form() should be compatible with openlayers_behavior::options_form($defaults = Array) in ctools_plugin_load_includes() (line 475 of /Users/SolarCoy/Sites/saveworldart/profiles/openaid/modules/contrib/ctools/includes/plugins.inc).

If you know what this is and what I need to do if anything, let me know.

I think I'm OK now but I just thought I should pass along the experience, the possible false negative, and whatever the "Strict warning" is.

I have some continuing configuration issues but I'll open up another discussion or two about them.

Thanks again for your help.
