 Hello, I'm preparing to upgrade an existing Drupal/Ubercart installation from 5.x/1.x to 6.x/2.x. What is the best way to approach this process? This installation also has many old Drupal modules that need to be updated to the most recent releases. Thanks for any guidance, and recommended step-by-steps for which components to update in what order, etc. Best,

Any help here? Want to be sure about any issues I might encounter after going from Drupal 5 to 6 and then Ubercart 1.x to 2.x. Thanks.

There are no particularly special instructions for Ubercart, just follow the standard Drupal upgrade path at http://drupal.org/upgrade and make sure you have backups - if you have a complex setup it's possible that there will be failures somewhere along the way, and you might need to run through the process a few times and tweak some things before it is 100% successful.

Thanks, LW. I am making my way through. Question: The dude who built the first iteration of this site put Ubercart (as well as a few other contrib modules) in the core modules directory. As part of this upgrade process, I'd like to move Ubercart to its proper place in sites/all/modules. Is the proper way to to do this by disabling all the Ubercart modules, moving the folder(s) to the proper location, running update.php, and then re-enabling the Ubercart modules? I suspect I should relocate them before upgrading, but please advise if otherwise. My plan from here is: 1. Relocate Ubercart and other contrib modules as described above and re-enable (and test). Is there any advice about whether to go module by module, running update.php each time? Or can each of the items in (1), (2), and (3) above be done at once, running update.php once for each group? Thanks for any advice. This is a complex update for me that I hope will continue smoothly! Best,

(Note that I am backing up the database after each step, of course. I'm using MySQL Administrator's backup function, and the default settings, after putting the site into offline maintenance mode.)

The Site Documentation module has kicked out these two notifications. Please advise if it is something that requires attention, e.g. editing entries in the system table? Thanks. 'Shipping Quotes' for the 'Ubercart - core (optional)' package was found in 'modules/ubercart/shipping/ ' but a previous module was in 'modules/ubercart/payment/ '.

Re: Help with upgrade path: Drupal 5 to 6 and Ubercart 1.x to 2.
I've been having trouble with my upgrade from D5 to D6. I've followed the guide i found here (http://www.ubercart.org/docs/general/9410/upgrading_ubercart_drupal_5_dr...) and I always get stuck when i try to run update.php. All i see is a white screen and nothing loads. I've delete my files and reuploaded the sites and files folder eventhough i dont know why i should delete it in the first place since i'll have to put them back again. I've added the language field and nothing works. I also tried to only delete the files that are in the new D6 install and uploaded those to the ftp, but WOD is still there! If anyone has any tips or info concerning this, it would be greatly appreciated! |
