I got a weird problem when i am upgrading core from 6.8 to 6.9. I am following the following procedure:

1> Created a backup of the entrie "/" drupal install
2> Put the site into offline mode
3> Selected one of the generic themes
4> Disabled all the modules
5> backed up "sites" and "files"
6> Deleted the old files in "/" Drupal installation
7> Uploaded the new 6.9 and change file /sites/default/settings.php with mysql connection and allow to run update.
8> Restored the old "sites" and "files" folders into the new 6.9 folder "/sites/all" and "/sites/default"
9> Restored the old .htaccess
10> Ran Update.php

the site is running good, but it is still showing me i am runing under core 6.8, nor 6.9. I tried it couple of time, actually it's happening after i restore "modules" back into /sites/all/modules.

Guys, any idea?

Thanks

You could look at the .info files of the modules under /sites/all/modules/
If there are any core modules that are from version 6.8 then Drupal will claim it's still 6.8 in total.

Please post back if that is the case here.

Looks like khawkc won't be posting any feedback so I'm setting this to fixed.

Feel free to reopen if you think that is wrong.

I have the same issue, upgrading from 6.8.
In fact I hadn't upgraded in a while and now I have an upgrade path from 6.8 - 6.12

I tried going directly to 6.12, but the available updates still still reported that I had 6.8 drupal core.

Now I'm trying to go step by step...6.9...6.11...etc

I keep getting strange errors when running update.php too

exampe:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_access_callback() on a non-object in drupal/path/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display_page.inc on line 78

Also my drupal frontpage is a blank white page, same with the modules administration section...white page

I was using a custom theme, but I reset to garland during updates

It may be because I recently put all contributed modules into sites/all/modules to make upgrading core easier...
Apparently drupal is still looking to include the modules in the modules/ directory, but I've moved them to sites/all/modules
before doing a drupal update

ahh help this upgrade process is painful

Since views was the module throwing the error, I disabled it through the database and now I can administer my modules properly.
When I enable views, I get the blank pages again. I'm making it through the upgrade process little by little.
