Thanks, Jamie.<br>
<br>
I extracted the ZIP file on top of my existing directory overwriting
the old files. I have my website under Subversion, and I checked the
differences between the existing checked in copy and the new one.
Nothing jumps out as out of the ordinary. For example, in the Drupal
root directory, COPYRIGHT.txt remained unchanged, while the version
changed from 7.2 to 7.4 in profiles\minimal\minimal.info. Spot
checking, all of the other file changes seem reasonable. I show that
194 files were modified and 6 were added.<br>
<br>
I don't think that the file extraction or file location is the
problem. Good thought, though.<br>
<br>
Other ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Are you sure you extracted the downloaded file to the right
folder? Check in your Drupal root folder and see if you have
something like Drupal-7.4 in there. If so, you need to move those
files to the root.<br>

Thanks, Nancy. There are two things which concern me.<br>
<br>
1) When go to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://%28mysite%29/update.php">http://(mysite)/update.php</a>,
I only get to what appears to be step three of five. I am not
able to progress to "Run updates" and "Review log", the last two
steps.<br>
<br>
2) When I go to the "Status report" page for my site, it still
shows "Drupal 7.2".<br>
<br>
All indications are that the upgrade did not complete.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

[support] Upgrading Issue<br>
</font><br>
<div id="yiv803223563">

lang="x-western">
<div style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size:

lang="x-western">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
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://drupal.org">http://drupal.org</a>
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 <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz">http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz</a>
<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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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 <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.example.com/update.php">http://www.example.com/update.php</a>
(replace <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
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>
