Hello,

I have already upgraded from 4.7.3 to 4.7.6 the server with several, independent Drupal websites (only one Drupan installation, but each site has its own settings and independent MySql databases) that I described in detail in another thread.

Now I should upgrade from 4.7.6 to 5.0. According to the 5.0 official announce I have to start fresh unpacking in an empty directory and then follow the instructions in the UPGRADE.txt file. However, the latter says:

2.  Log on as the user with user ID 1.  User ID 1 is the first
    account created and the main administrator account.  User
    ID 1 needs to be logged in so that you can access update.php
    (step 9) which can only be run by user ID 1.  Do not close
    your browser until step 10 is complete.

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).

What if I have one drupal installation serving different website???

Do I really have to go that browser-based procedure? Above all, is it compatible with a single drupal/multi-database site?
Can't I do everything on the command line? I'd really prefer it. If it is possible, how? Which are the exact steps? Sorry, but that UPGRADE file really confused me.

TIA,
O.

Hello,

sorry to come back on this, but can it be possible that nobody knows the answer to this question and nobody has already faced and solved the same problem?

Thanks,
