HI there,

I have tried this morning to upgrade my drupal from 6.4 to 6.8. I have updated settings.php and made the necessary changes. I am not sure what happened because I never encountered this problem before when i do upgrades.

The problem may look simple but I have done the things I knew before and still it didn't help. I was able to load the screen "Drupal Database Update" and when I click "continue" it goes to the next page warning me of doing a database backup first before proceeding (which i have done prior to drupal 6.8 download) then after I click "continue", it didn't do the upgrade, it just goes back to the same "Drupal Database Update" window and nothing happens. Looks like the update is not running forward but rather in circles.

Any suggestions to fix this problem is really appreciated. Please help me.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue with a 6.4 -- 6.8 update. This did not happen with a 6.6 -- 6.8 update. I'm going to roll back to 6.4 for now and see what the deal is. Perhaps an intermediate update to 6.6 is necessary?

Same here -- but I went from 6.6 to 6.8 and it broke. It was working fine for me in 6.6.

I had this problem too. I was able to resolve it by turning off Secure Pages and by editing my htaccess and commenting out:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysitename\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysitename.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I did this and then ran update.php again and it worked. I then enabled secure pages and fixed my htaccess file.

Had the same problem trying to run update.php on an outdated 6.22 site. Secure pages is not installed, but commenting out the WWW redirect in .htaccess as pointed out in #3 worked!
