I just went through updating drupal 6.13 to 6.14, everything seemed to work fine - no errors notified, but at the end of the process I still have 6.13 running and wanting to update to 6.14.

I did follow UPGRADE.txt.

uploaded the new files, called update, and Drupal is still warning you have 6.13.

I have even deleted modules and inc before a second try, no change!

Same issue here. I did not turn off all contrib modules before upgrade, but I can't see how that would change things. I think I am running 6.14 now, just not seeing it as such.

Can you check \modules\system\system.info and see what version number it says. If it says 6.13 something went wrong with your upgrade. I know I have had problems FTPing .info files so that might be a possibility. Oh, did you run update.php? Upgrading from 6.13 to 6.14 involves two database changes so if you didn't see that I would try again. As always back up. Good luck

I had exactly the same problem. I think I misunderstood the module thing from UPGRADE.TXT:

"5. Disable all custom and contributed modules."

I did disable everything except the system modules. then, upgrade.php did not do anything. But, at the 5th try, I forgot to disable them, and voila! It works!
So here is how it went for me: I signed in to my site from my browser as user ID1 (admin). Via FTP connection, I deleted every file and directory from my drupal installation, EXCEPT the 'modules', 'files' and 'themes' directories. Uploaded the drupal 6.14 zip file, unzipped it in the directory of the previous installation, and without disabling anything I ran 'http://mysite.com/update.php'. It went perfectly.

I hope you can use something from my method.

NOTE: I have modules ONLY from drupal.org, just 6.x compatible stable releases. And, Marinelli/Giordani theme.

So here is how it went for me:

  1. I made a BACKUP of my site
  2. signed in to my site from my browser as user ID1 (admin)
  3. via FTP connection, I deleted every file and directory from my drupal installation, EXCEPT the 'modules', 'files' and 'themes' directories.
  4. uploaded the drupal 6.14 zip file, unzipped it in the directory of the previous installation
  5. and without disabling anything I ran 'http://mysite.com/update.php'
    (I did not need to change any option, just went through the update progress.)

It went perfectly.

I hope you can use something from my "method".

Sorry for the duplicate entry!

What i always do when upgrading to new version is this:

1. Backup all files that contain in normal Drupal installation only.
2. Backup database.
3. Delete .htaccess files in NEW Drupal directory
4. Upload all NEW Drupal files and OVERWRITE it.
5. Administer > Reports > Status reports > Update database.
6. Administer > Site configurations > Performance > Clear cache
7. Recheck if any style.css and js is diff than before.

I've tried several different methods to update 6.13 to 6.14 and no matter what (non-core modules enabled/disabled, no custom files except settings.php, start from blank slate or overwrite) will it say the db needs updates, nor recognize that it has 6.14 files.

Any other suggestions, please? I've updated Drupal enough times and have never had issues until now.

The only thing I can think of that I didn't try was actually uninstall any modules, but the only one in the uninstall list is Messaging PHPMailer.

Thx
