I have carried out an update to 6.14, including running update.php. All went well till I ran cron, which told me I needed to update to 6.14; it thought I still had 6.12 installed. So I erased all the files via FTP then did a clean upload of the 6.14 files. It prompted me to run update.php again, and came up with errors this time. Now I can't get beyond the front page of the site; instead it's offering to do a new install.

Anyone know how I get beyond this please? Thanks.

If you've erased all the files then you've presumably erased sites/default/settings.php -- so Drupal now doesn't know where to find your database etc. Therefore it thinks you're doing a new install.

Ah, that's a great lead, and thanks very much; can I then restore the one from the previous (6.12) set of files? Does the settings.php file change with an update?

Thanks, Nigel
