Yesterday I've update my site from 4.63 to 4.7-rc3.
First I've make a backup of my database with mysqldump.
Then I replaced all Drupal files in my web directory.
Then - login as admin - run the update.php.
After that I seems 4.7 run.
Under settings site maintenance I switch to the offlline mode. I know theres a lot to do before going online.

Offline mode works. You can see it here: www.go-with-us.de.
But it's not possible to login as admin anymore. No error. Nothing happens.

One note: on this server I have a Drupal Multisite Installation.
After the update yesterday my other sites still works.
www.learn-php.de, www.joblooker.de

Any help welcome.

Thanks

did you tried http://www.go-with-us.de/user, right?
If so, edit your 'variable' table manually and remove the 'site_offline' variable from it.

mdroste commented

Yes.
And now I removed the variable 'site_offline' with delete from variable where name = 'site_offline';

But the site is still in offline mode!

Ok, I truncate table 'cache'. Now the site is in Online-Mode.
But I still can't login.
And, please take a look at the frontpage - there is no content. But in my node table are 2046 rows.

What happens here?

Strange.
Here's what I get per e-mail, after request a new password.

username: mdwp
password: %password

?????

Although not directly related to your problems: http://drupal.org/node/46955 contains more information about the removal of %password expansion.

Please, if you like register yourself as a new user at www.go-with-us.de and see what you get.
And take a look at the strange homepage. There's all gone.

That's it. You have a backup of your database. Restore it and then run the update.php again.

mdroste commented

more than once. I've setup a new database and run the update .php again.
But the result is always the same. No content, not able to login, no site.

did you removed all the files before the update? you must remove themes to from your themes directory. Probably you did, but ...

mdroste’s picture

mdroste commented

Maybe the best.
I go through all steps one more time.

I've delete all Drupal files.
Then I copy all files from the Drupal 4.7-rc3 version to my server.
Run update.php.

And - nothing happens.
My other sites which I run with the same Drupal instance works properly but not this one.

Don't know what to do.

If I send a request to my site like this http://www.go-with-us.de/node/2167
I get a access denied message.

If I request the site direct via www.go-with-us.de I see a listing of all my nodes (please, look at the pager - there are 129 pages) with no content.

You have a theme: lincolns revenge: remove it. Disable some of your modules, remove them if is necessary.

mdroste commented

But after my fresh installation I've no other themes or modules as shipped with Drupal.
One thing worth to mention.

If I use another DB of my server (DB of swf-info.de for example) all works fine.

I can't login either. It says nothing when I try, the login page just reloads..

Info:

- Updated from the previous RC, or the one before that to 4.7 Final

- /user aliased to /usr because the host has "controlpanel" on /user (same with admin)

error.log spits out many lines of:

[Mon May 01 21:33:15 2006] [error] [client 62.73.58.167] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: GLOBALS in /var/www/html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 142

I'm having the exact same problem!

I put my site off-line to work. Then tried to log as an admin and I get the message that "this site off-line for maintenance."

How the heck do I get back on?

I installed from 4.6 to 4.7 just tonight.

Thank anyone for their help.
