Have tried to do this upgrade several times and every time it says I have v 6.6. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I ftp'd all the files in the main drupal directory up to the server.
DL'd my sites folder.
Then ftp'd all the folders one by one (includes, misc, etc), overwriting the old ones.
Also, while searching, discovered I had my modules and themes in the wrong place, not in the sites/all directory, so DL'd them.

Every time I run update.php, it runs smoothly, but when I check status updates, it tells me I'm running 6.6 and need to upgrade to 6.8.

I've backed up the database and the files directory.

Been searching all over this site and can't figure out what I did wrong. Help.

I'm having the same type of problem.

Drupal core update status Not secure! (version 1.2.0 (Drupal 6.8 core) available)
There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the security of your server, you should update immediately! See the available updates page for more information.

Hello
First of all, you should take your site offline and then copy the new files and folders to the right place. Then, make the site online. Now, you should run update.php.
Take a look at this tutorial http://drupal.org/upgrade/tutorial-introduction and read the instructions carefully. The upgrade process is very straightforward if you trace exactly the steps mentioned in the above tutorial.

Kind Regards

Hello,

I hope you are all doing very well.

I followed the instructions as indicated at www.drupal.org/upgrade as well as the upgrade.txt file within the tar file. I set the site to maintenance mode, backed up and downloaded a copy of the database, copied the entire site structure to another location on my server as backup, downloaded and untarred the new 6.8 version, copied it over the existing version, went to mysite.com/update.php where it successfully detected the changes and ran with no errors logged, then went to visit the main administration page, manually ran cron and check update, and found that it still reports that I have a security issue and need to upgrade to 6.8. The changelog file within the directory shows that it is 6.8 however. What do you recommend I do?

Thank you.

Be careful of coping the old

modules folder

over from your backup, instead of coping each add on module. Don't mess with coping over the core modules

There is where your problem lies.
