Re: [support] Upgrading Drupal

* Daniel Carrera [19/12/2008 13:46] :

If I am upgrading Drupal 5.9 to 5.14 do I still have to disable the modules before the upgrade?

That's what the documentation says but it's a lot of work for little gain. My procedure is :

When upgrading the core modules, do not disable nor upgrade the contributed modules you are using.

Once you have upgraded Drupal and given your site a quick test run to make sure it's still up and running, disable the contributed modules you are using, update them and re-enable them.

Go through another test run and you're done.

Should I be worried that data might get lost if I disable a module?

Hasn't happened to me, so far. Always make a backup of your data, just in case.
