[support] Trouble updating D6 to 7

[Info Razor]

update.php is essential after any code updates that add/remove tables. not running it, or getting stuck mid-way, is serious and you should roll back.

make sure before you do upgrades that you have backups of your file system and database. Using GIT for the files is strongly recommended as it makes it very easy to roll back/fwd.

your update could fail for a number of reasons, missing files, partial downloads, moving from a version of a module to another where there are migration issues etc.

it's hard to diagnose your issue without more information, and it's not the easiest type of problem to diagnose via an email neither.

check the log files, what errors did you get? is it in one module?

bottom line though: roll back your code if it is all broken now, go back to your previous saved version of the database. then start over and if you hit an error, deal with it before proceeding and resolve it without skipping anything.

hope something here is helpful!

best,

seb.

I'm stuck because the Zone and Region configuration menus no longer open up to set the configurations of each region. It did work, but after a LOT of struggle trying to get the update.php script to run without errors, the Zone and region configuration settings stopped working. In addition, the Omega them Layout Configuration had a nice selectable menu on the left, and this disappeared and the entire settings list appeared on a single page.
