Hello to all,
I'm new to all these ...
I bought a place on a hosting server & in its panel it had Drupal version 6.10 which I installed !!
Now I 've seen I must upgrade it to 6.13 !! I have downloaded the version ... but I need u to tell me step by step what to do ...
e.g.
" unzip it -> place it "there" --> & place that file there " and so on ...
Please be specified in order to make it easier for me ...
Thank u in advanced,
djepi

Help cannot update
I tried to do everything that sais in the update.txt (allthough I didn't have to do much - cos I haven't done anything yet on my page - first I'm gonna update it and then anything else) ...
I tried to change the false to true in step 10 3 times, it sais that the file saved, but occured error ... and it still is to false when opening again
Also I tried to run update.php in the browser as it sais, but it gets me to a page not found error ...
I don't know if I'm giving the browser the right address or its the fault of the settings.php option that doesn't change that gives me that ...
well my drupal files (as much as the update.php file) are in my public_html directory and if u go in there, the files stored look like this :
/public_html/_private
/public_html/_vti_bin
/public_html/_vti_cnf
/public_html/_vti_log
/public_html/_vti_pvt
/public_html/_vti_txt
/public_html/cgi-bin
/public_html/css
/public_html/images
/public_html/img
/public_html/includes
/public_html/index_html
/public_html/misc
/public_html/modules
/public_html/profiles
/public_html/scripts
/public_html/sites
/public_html/themes
/public_html/400.shtml
/public_html/401.shtml
/public_html/403.shtml
/public_html/404.shtml
/public_html/500.shtml
/public_html/_vti_inf.html
/public_html/CHANGELOG.txt
/public_html/COPYRIGHT.txt
/public_html/cron.php
/public_html/fantastico_fileslist.txt
/public_html/fantversion.php
/public_html/htaccess_old

/public_html/install.php
/public_html/INSTALL.txt

/public_html/justhost.swf
/public_html/LICENSE.txt
/public_html/MAINTAINERS.txt
/public_html/postinfo.html
/public_html/robots.txt
/public_html/sifr-addons.js
/public_html/sIFR-print.css
/public_html/sIFR-screen.css
/public_html/sifr.js
/public_html/update.php
/public_html/UPGRADE.txt
/public_html/xmlrpc.php
so I'm guessing the right path to put on the browser is mydomain/public_html/update.php ... right ???
don't know what I'm doing wrong ...
Please help me ... too difficult for me,
and if anyone thinks we can do this by him getting into my pc by a teamviewer (program that allow someone to get into my desktop and work as if he was me) in order for me to watch and learn at the same time ... I would be very gratefull & humbly obligated !! We can exchange our msns so as to have a direct communication ... please pm me !!
Thank u in advanced,

No. public_html is normally
No. public_html is normally the root for your site. You're looking for www.mydomain.com/update.php
Is there anyone who can Help me ??
But the drupal files are installed there automaticly, When I choose instalation from my server's cp panel, it installs it there automatically !!
And as I saw from drupal's instractions in upgrading themes and modules, the settings.php file can be there (public_html) so why not the update.php ??
all drupals' files are installed there ...
So ?? .....
The filesystem path (which is
The filesystem path (which is where the install is located on the drive) and the URL are not the same at all.
Let's say that Drupal sits at
/home/djepi/public_html/index.phpand that your webserver is configured so that your website root is at/home/djepi/public_html/and that your website is called http://www.djepi.com.Then the URL for your Drupal install would be http://www.djepi.com/index.php and the update script would be http://www.djepi.com/update.php.
