can anyone advise on multisite updating, when using SEPERATE database for the secondary (non-default) sites?

the multisite was working fine under 4.6, the update to 4.7 has worked fine for the primary site.

but the seperte database for the secondary / sub-domain site doesn't work - clearly the db needs updating...
can I do this simply by add copying update.php to the sub-domain folder under /sites and then browsing to the subdomain.mainsite.co.uk/update.php?

thanks....

Although I am using multiple sites on the same database with table prefixes, it should work the same for you:

Try just accessing update.php on each domain. The database settings should be picked up by the upgrade script.

I noticed that a few modules didn't install properly on multi-site set-up because their scripts did not have braces around table names. I edited those and they worked fine. This ma not affect you since the table name prefixes may not be an issue for you.

I'm in the same situation with multiple sites on seperate databases. The primary works fine, the secondary doesn't seem to have been updated. When I try to access the update.php from my secondary domain like the previous post suggested I just get a blank screen. I tried the suggestion of copying update.php into the sites/ folder. Still getting a blank screen. If you have any luck, please comment. I'll still be trying new things on my end.

I'm also trying to upgrade multiple sites, but my case is a bit different. Check out my post at http://drupal.org/node/76093.

Like you, I saw the "blank screen" after upgrade.

I confirm this problem for 5.X, but only for separate domain - update.php works for subdomains in my multisite installation. I have described my issue here: http://drupal.org/node/137454 Accessing update.php by separate sites gives blank page.
