How to fail at upgrading Drupal
September 9th, 2008 | Filed under Projects, Technology.I decided it might be nice to upgrade from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. Not wanting to totally destroy my website in the process I set up a test site at home. Into the test site I copied my live website and its database, with the idea of making that work and then upgrading it and after some testing, put it on here.
Well I managed to copy my live website onto my test server and it mostly worked. For some reason the CSS was broken along with the theme. Then I tried to “upgrade” Drupal (read that as “delete the old code, replace with new code”) and was met with a white screen of nothing… or the Drupal installer which wouldn’t go past the database config screen.
I can’t be arsed now, I’m done with spending hours fucking around with this stuff it should just work with minimal faff. If I can be bothered, I’ll try again at some point, the current Drupal installation has loads of modules installed that I don’t use so they’re probably buggering it up.
