I was trying to upgrade my working 6.2X site to 7.10. I was following the instructions in http://drupal.org/node/548922. When I ran the update.php, the page blanked and nothing returned. When I opened the actual website, the above FATAL ERROR message was all that come up. The same message came up in the admin site.
I deleted everything on the server and uploaded the backup files. Still the same message.
I had my web host restore my database back to a few days prior to when I was doing the upgrade. Same bloody message. And update.php still returns a blank screen.
Line 2494 of menu.inc reads as follows
if (user_access('administer site configuration')) {
I have searched through every google search site I could think of and no help.
Help! Please!
