Hi Drupalites,

I have a question regarding upgrading Drupal from 6.12 to 6.13. How do I perform the upgrade?

Do I just need to overwrite my existing Drupal 6.12 with 6.13? If this is the case, will it overwrite my existing content?

Ivan, inside the 6.13 download is a document called UPGRADE.txt that gives complete instructions. Please have a look and post back if you need more help.

To answer your final question, you will first back up your database and the contents of your Drupal directory. As part of the upgrade process, you will then move your backed up files and sites directory back to the web directory. So presuming you have put any contributed modules and themes in their proper places to begin with (i.e., in the appropriate subdirectories inside the sites directory)you will not lose anything. As for page content, it's stored in the database so you will never lose that by updating the web-directory documents.
