How to find Version and how to get older version?
I have a site that was installed around 2004. I want to upgrade to the latest version. I've read the "How Can I Tell What Version I'm Running" post - http://drupal.org/node/139617 - and also the "Upgrading From Previous Versions" post - http://drupal.org/upgrade.
I know that I should move to the latest version of makor release and then the latest version of the next release.
However, I can't explicitly tell what I'm running. the UPDATE.TXT file says only something about a module not being ready for a 4.5 release.

- Back off the removal of image gallery features. Separate gallery module
won't be ready in time for 4.5 release.
Should I just assume I'm on 4.x and get the 4.7 version?
If so, where do I find 4.7 so I can move to that then 5.x and then 6.x?
In the downloads go to the
In the downloads go to the project page. You can then browse through all of the releases (if they don't have a 4.x version still listed on the main page). You may have to scroll through a lot of releases if it has been an active module.

Checking your Drupal version and upgrading Drupal
If your CHANGELOG.txt is missing ...
Checking your Drupal version - Easier method
Administer -> Modules
Checking your Drupal version - Harder method
Drupal database -> System table -> Info field
In a number of Drupal core Info fields, look for the following:
"version"; ... :"1.2.3"
1.2.3 represents the version number.
Upgrading Drupal
Important: Backup your files and database first.
If your Drupal version is 4.3.0, use the following sequence.
4.3.2 -> 4.4.3 -> 4.5.8 -> 4.6.11 -> 4.7.11 -> Latest 5 -> Latest 6
That was interesting. None
That was interesting.
None of the above worked.
I have teh CHANGELOG.TXT file but it is fairly empty.
Administer > Modules shows me modules but no versions.
My system table is listed below.

you can also check the top of the system.module which is what reports the version of drupal in use.
a fairly empty CHANGELOG.txt tells me your version is likely pretty old. A paste of the top 5 - 10 lines should have be able to determine which version is in use.
Aha! There we
Aha!
There we go.
Thanks!!
system.module states:
<?php
// $Id: system.module,v 1.320.2.6 2006/06/01 22:08:06 killes Exp $
/**
* @file
* Configuration system that lets administrators modify the workings of the site.
*/
define('VERSION', '4.7.2');
Now I can move forward. :)
