<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: -moz-fixed; FONT-SIZE: 14px" lang=x-western class=yiv803223563moz-text-flowed>Hi, <BR><BR>I'm new to Drupal. I installed Drupal 7.2 on Windows a few weeks ago. Once I saw the security alert for 7.2 and .3, I've been trying to upgrade to 7.4. However, I must be missing something basic. <BR><BR>I've tried following the upgrading instructions in the UPGRADE.txt file that came with the 7.4 release. I get to step 6, "Run update.php ...," but I'm not able to successfully complete the update. I get to the "Review updates" page, but it says "No pending updates," and there is no button to continue to the "Run updates" step. I've even tried setting "$update_free_access = TRUE;" in the "settings.php" file, think that this might help. <BR><BR>Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? <BR><BR>The instructions from the UPGRADE.txt file are below. <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR>--ross <BR><BR>---------------------------- <BR>MINOR VERSION UPDATES
<BR>--------------------- <BR>To update from one minor 7.x version of Drupal to any later 7.x version, after <BR>following the instructions in the INTRODUCTION section at the top of this file: <BR><BR>1. Log in as a user with the permission "Administer software updates". <BR><BR>2. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode. <BR> Enable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the <BR> configuration. <BR><BR>3. Remove all old core files and directories, except for the 'sites' directory <BR> and any custom files you added elsewhere. <BR><BR> If you made modifications to files like .htaccess or robots.txt, you will <BR> need to re-apply them from your backup, after the new files are in place. <BR><BR> Sometimes an update includes changes to settings.php (this will be noted in <BR> the release announcement). If that's the
case, replace your old settings.php <BR> with the new one, and copy the site-specific entries (especially the lines <BR> giving the database name, user, and password) from the old settings.php to <BR> the new settings.php. <BR><BR>4. Download the latest Drupal 7.x release from http://drupal.org to a <BR> directory outside of your web root. Extract the archive and copy the files <BR> into your Drupal directory. <BR><BR> On a typical Unix/Linux command line, use the following commands to download <BR> and extract: <BR><BR> wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz <BR> tar -zxvf drupal-x.y.tar.gz <BR><BR> This creates a new directory drupal-x.y/ containing all Drupal files and <BR> directories. Copy the files into your Drupal installation directory: <BR><BR> cp -R
drupal-x.y/* drupal-x.y/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation <BR><BR> If you do not have command line access to your server, download the archive <BR> from <A class=yiv803223563moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://drupal.org/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://drupal.org</A> using your web browser, extract it, and then use an <BR> FTP client to upload the files to your web root. <BR><BR>5. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess or robots.txt. <BR><BR>6. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php (replace <BR> <A class=yiv803223563moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="http://www.example.com/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>www.example.com</A> with your domain name). This will update the core database <BR> tables. <BR><BR> If you are unable to access update.php do the following: <BR><BR> - Open settings.php with a text editor. <BR><BR> -
Find the line that says: <BR> $update_free_access = FALSE; <BR><BR> - Change it into: <BR> $update_free_access = TRUE; <BR><BR> - Once the upgrade is done, $update_free_access must be reverted to FALSE. <BR><BR>7. Go to Administration > Reports > Status report. Verify that everything is <BR> working as expected. <BR><BR>8. Ensure that $update_free_access is FALSE in settings.php. <BR><BR>9. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode. <BR> Disable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the <BR> configuration. <BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>-- <BR>[ Drupal support list | <A href="http://lists.drupal.org/" target=_blank>http://lists.drupal.org/</A> ]<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></div></div></body></html>
