Update Drupal core

Take a breath and read Drupal's Upgrading form previous versions first. This upgrade will update your Drupal core to the version 7.10. We assume that you are curently using a 7.x version so it's about a "Minor update procedure".

  1. Locate the root folder of your site. Is the Drupal's root folder, there where the index.php is located.
  2. Delete all Drupal files and folders except the [sites] folder.
  3. Copy all Drupal files and folders from your temporary installation except the [sites] folder.
  4. Login to your Drupal installation as administration user, your site should still work usual.
  5. Run the update.php file calling a url like http://www.example.com/update.php or http://www.example.com/test_site/update.php, if your site is located under a subdirectory.

Patch your Corporate Classy theme files

  1. Locate our theme folder in your temporary installation. Usually at [sites/all/themes/corporate]
  2. Locate our theme folder in your drupal 7 site. Usually at [sites/all/themes/corporate]
  3. Replace the following files in your installation, using the corresponding source files from the temporary installation
    1. corporate.info

Patch your site's DataBase

Because a known Drupal issue, http://drupal.org/node/1170362, related to update.php and the installation profiles the next system message may be appeared:

Notice: Undefined index: name/version in system_requirements()

To solve this use a tool like phpMyAdmin and:

  1. Locate the System table.
  2. Edit the row with the value profiles/corporateclassy/corporateclassy.profile in the filename
  3. Change the status of this row from 0 to 1

Clear all cached data
