OK, so I've made a test site of my 4.7 install and successfully upgraded the thing to 5.3. I'm in the process of redesigning the theme (it needed upgrading anyhow) and sorting out new module versions and new modules to replace the ones no longer supported for Drupal 5.x. In the meantime, the original site is still chugging along. My question is: When the test site is finally ready, is there an easy way to include the content added to the live site after the original database snapshot was made?

Hi all,

When I upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3 the groups function on my ads module stopped working. I was troubleshooting this morning and have run across an uh-oh.

In table term_node, I have this db error: PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `tid`

Can someone tell me which field shoudl be primary and if the other should be index or not?

I'm upgrading 5.2 to 5.3.
The instructions mostly relate to the upgrade of 4.7 to 5.x

From what I understand, all custom modules need to be reloaded.
I have a lot of custom modules, one of them (civicrm) takes 1 1/2 hour to load (with DSL).
Which means probably over two hours for the upgrade.

It seems that from 5.2 to 5.3 there is no change to most files or any of the modules that already work with 5.2.
Is it possible to change only the files that are different in 5.3 from 5.2, so the site would be offline for a few minutes instead of hours?

I upgraded successfully from 4.7.4 to 5.2 including copying a whole load of picture files to the new installation. I want to remove the old ones but it says I don't have permission if I try using ftp and appears to remove them in cpanel file manager but they're still there. I don't seem to be able to set the file permissions to allow me to delete them manually and I can't log in to my old 4.7.4 one to do it in Drupal. Does Drupal override my file permissions or is this a peculiarity of cpanel or what?

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I´m running 5.3 drupal version with several modules installed. There is a modulle installed, update, it shows which modules are old and how to download a new version....its ok.

When I click to download a new version, I just click and rewrite files and works...not always 95% of modules update properly like this... but there are many other that, even I rewrite files, drupal shows they are still old.

why?

Best regards and good job

I updated a test version of my site from 5.1 to 5.3.

Everything seems perfect when I use Garland, but my custom theme only displays a blank page (with the custom theme's background-color) - no content whatsoever.

Has anything changed in the way themes are managed that could be the source of this behavior?
