Post-upgrade steps

Congratulations! You have completely upgraded your Drupal installation.

Depending on your site, you may need to log in using the following URL: http://example.com/?q=user

You should now go to your administer > site building > modules page and enable new modules from your upgrade. Be sure to then go to administer > user management > access control to enable permissions to use that module for different roles.

The last step in an upgrade is to delete or move the following files from your site:

• install.php
• CHANGELOG.txt
• INSTALL.txt
• INSTALL.mysql.txt
• INSTALL.pgsql.txt
• LICENSE.txt
• MAINTAINERS.txt
• UPGRADE.txt

If you have upgraded a test site and are satisfied with the results, you will now need to copy the test site to a live site.

If you have more questions, please consult the Troubleshooting FAQ guide or ask for help in the forums.

Another post-upgrade task -- re-index search!

After upgrading from 4.7 to 5.7, several terms returned no search results, but it was difficult to could confirm which were present in nodes in the site.

Re-indexing the search by clicking the re-index button as well as changing the search settings to index 100 pages at a time helped clear up the issue. Next, click the run cron now link in status report several times until 100% of the site is indexed.
