Upgrading from Drupal 4.7.3 to Drupal 6.10

Tue, 2009-04-28 08:55 — earnie

This site is using software from http://www.drupal.org. I started with Drupal 4.7.3 and the site ran fine for years. I then decided to upgrade to the latest Drupal versions. The following are the steps I took. Also note that I moved this site from one host to another.

  • Mysqldump the data from the old DB
  • Mysql import the data to the new DB
  • Install version 4.7.10 (No contrib module code).
  • Execute update.php
  • Install version 5.0
  • Execute update.php
  • Install version 5.16
  • Execute update.php
  • Install version 6.10
  • Execute update.php
  • Install the contrib modules
  • Execute update.php

At this point I have a working Drupal 6.10 version of the site.
