Hello everyone,
I tried to simulate upgrading my 5.15 site to Drupal 6.9 today. As described in http://drupal.org/upgrade/ , I created a test site by copying all files into a subdirectory of my shared hosting "root" and creating a second database. I could verify that the test site worked as expected, logging in and doing administrative tasks worked indepentenly from the main site.
I then followed the instructions:
- logged in as "user no. 1"
- Switched to the default theme
- deactivated all other themes
- turned off localization module in oder to get an English site
- turned off all non-core modules
- copied the new files over the old ones
- adjusted paths in sites/default/settings.php and .htaccess
- called testsite/update.php in a browser
...only to see that the script would not start, it returned a nondescript "internal server error". In order to troubleshoot this further, I'd like to have more detailed information about why the script wouldn't run. I could not find any logs in the database -- where should I look? And does it look to you as if I missed something in my preparations?
Many thanks for all advice
Jürgen

Update: I got PHP to log its output into a file. When calling update.php, the address displayed in the browser changes to update.php?op=info and the process stalls. This is the error output:

Any ideas?
No ideas out there?
OK, people, I know it's not polite to "bump" one's own threads, and normally wouldn't do it, but I still hope that there's anyone here who can help me... I'm not really looking forward to having to rebuild my entire site from scratch in Drupal 6. As I said, I'm mainly looking for help on diagnosing the cause of those problems, although a readily-applicable solution would not hurt, either ;-)
Regards,
Jürgen
