I'm trying to upgrade a site that is 4.3 to 4.4.1 and followed the instructions (backed-up, overwrote the files, logged in, updated the conf.php, did the database system table modification) for upgrade (and I have done upgrades on other sites). This time around when I clicked on the "run database upgrade script" I get the following error:

Warning: main(DB.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/tiva/includes/database.pear.inc on line 4

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/tiva/includes/database.pear.inc on line 4

I can still get to the update page, but not much else.

If anyone is online I could use some help with this.

I'm on a linux 7.x, with apache 2.0.

Thanks, GZ

I'm really stuck with this upgrade problem, anyone have any ideas? Any weekend lurkers who might have seen something like this before or understand why 4.4.1 upgrade would start looking for pear? Figure it has to be something simple but can't see it. It worries me when upgrades don't work and I'm looking at five other sites that theoretically could benefit from other elements in the upgrade.

Help....

dumb and dumber here...

I had somehow failed to put "$db_url = " in front of the myslq statement in the conf.php file.

Desperation is the 'mother' of invention/fixing or was that Frank Zappa?

Does this db interface still exist? It doesn't seem to come with Drupal 4.7. I can't find a section of the Web site that has additional database modules/abstractions, so I don't know where to download it from, either. I'm new, so maybe I'm just not knowing where to look.
