Well, that's pretty much a clean install if you're dropping the tables, isn't it? I have content...lots. Tried running update, failed because the node table is missing a field called disabled. Had alpha2alpha, which won't work. Might try head2head next. Ayen Designs - quality software the first time, every time! -----Original Message----- From: António P. P.

Anyone know whether going from D7-alpha7 to D7-beta is as simple as dropping in the code and running update? (he asks, wincing in advance)
I did the upgrade today. I just untarred the beta1 tarball in the dir, dropped all the tables from alpha7 and started a fresh install. Of course settings.php has to be rewritten as well. This way it works. Never tried the head2head. In previous alpha releases I tried to do a drush update and it failed. So I reverted to this kludge of dropping tables and do a re-install. --- appa
