How to upgrade to Drupal 4.7.0 beta 3 gracefully

Posted January 12th, 2006 by sugree

Yesterday, Drupal 4.7.0 beta 3 officially released. The upgrade procedure is quite simple 6 steps.

  1. Backup everything
  2. Log on as the first user with ID 1 aka admin
  3. Remove all the old Drupal files
  4. Extract new Drupal files into the place
  5. Modify configuration and copy add-on modules
  6. Run update.php

Anyway, there are a few bugs that I immediately found. These bugs has been patched in beta 2 so it is so easy to do now.
