Drupal und iPhone Entwicklung

Thank you so much for this page. I used to hate the "Update of the week" from drupal. With these patches it is a SNAP!

Thank you for your great job. I have used the drupal-5.14-to-5.15.patch on a multi-site installation and it worked without any errors.

Thanks a lot dude! With your work updating drupal it really takes just only a second! Thanks and thanks again :)

Thank you very very much.Worked without a hitch.

Once more, thank you so much for this page! Using these patches has really saved me lots of time when upgrading our system to 6.12.

I just upgraded three of my drupal sites using your patch files, and for once, they went smoothly, and QUICKLY!

Thank you!

Thank you for providing all this useful stuff on your page.

Hi,

I have a windows based laptop from which I am going to try to upgrade my site which resides on a linux box. I currently use 6.6 and would like to upgrade to 6.14.

Can someone here please give me a step-by-step. I have been regretting not knowing enough and installing drupal. And upgradations are the only reasons. Please help.
thanks

Nice work, really nice work.

You saved me hours every upgrade!!

Im afraid to ask you, but did you check the 6.9 to 6.14 patch? Because im getting some errors and, since before it went smooth all the times, im wondering if maybe you upload a wrong file (i do it all the time ;) ).

Thanks again

I favor quick and simple approaches, and eventually gave yours a try with 6.14-to-6.15. For me, this is definitely the way to go. Thank you very much indeed!

Thanks for the great patch set - the update was smooth!

...a lot of them. I was choosing a CMS, and I was thinking about dropping drupal just for the upgrade complexity (hey, in wordpress is just clicking a button...). You saved the day.

This is *the* recommended way of upgrading Drupal! I just upgraded from 6.15 to 6.16 and it worked flawlessly and was over in a couple of methods. It's so easy compared to the method suggested in upgrade.txt (download tarball, remove all old files, unzip tarball... no thanks!).

The instructions are pretty simply but because they reference upgrade.txt I thought I would share the entire process here as a quick overview (please make sure you still read upgrade.txt and instructions on this page):
1. backup drupal db
2. backup drupal root directory and sub directories
3. Make sure you are logged in as admin (uid=1)
4. Place site in maintainece mode, /admin/settings/site-maintenance
5. If using a custom or contributed theme, switch to a core theme, such as Garland or Bluemarine.
6. get latest patch file from http://fuerstnet.de/en/drupal-upgrade-easier
6. cd your-drupal-directory
7. Dry run: patch -p1 --dry-run < patchfile
8. Patch: patch -p1 < patch-file
9. Verify the new configuration file to make sure it has correct information. sites/default/settings.php
10. Run update.php by visiting /update.php
11. enable usual theme
12. Finally, return your site to "Online" mode so your visitors may resume

That's it! Thanks Bernhard Fürst - you're a champ!

I tried to diff a drupal installation, when i discover your out-of-the-box-working ones.
Nice job !

I love you for sharing this. A much more reasonable way for minor ugprades

Thanks much for all the previous patches. They have worked well. Are you coming out with the patch for 6.17 soon, or should I roll my own instead?

Awesome job friend :) This is a very convenient way to update. I've been using Drush to my core updates, but it involves a lot more directory/file-moving (danger!). I use git, so if patches break, it's no biggie. Thanks!

I just used this upgrade and was just reminded how easy and straightforward it is.
Great work, dude, a lot of us can vouch that this is pretty important code you are working on :)

Hi, first of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this one! It's so smooth!
A question for you: When the patch for drupal 6.19 to 6.20 will be released ?

Thanks in advance for your time

You provide a great service!!!

Hi there, thanks for providing these patches! This patch update method is definitely the easiest for me.

However, I had a bit of an issue with my 6.19 -> 6.20 upgrade. The dry run didn't give me any significant errors that I couldn't work around. So went ahead and applied the patch. However, the patch process got up to this point and failed:


...
patching file modules/user/user.module
patching file robots.txt
patching file sites/default/default.settings.php
patch: **** Can't remove file sites/default/default.settings.php : Permission denied


The problem is that it failed and stopped, leaving me with a half patched system. Fortunately the only remaining items were a few default theme folders, which I manually copied over to my root. But are there any workarounds so that this doesn't happen again?

Thanks a lot!

The standard upgrade instructions made me cry myself to sleep at night, but this patch file is absolutely amazing. I have my site running on a new core after only 10 minutes.

Thank you so much! :D

If you use CentOS or Redhat with selinux, be sure to turn selinux either off or to permissive mode before patching.

Thanks for the patch,

Hi! I just patched Drupal to 6.20 and want to thank you - again! - for this great tool. I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing a patch for drupal 6.20 to 7.0? That would mean a lot to use who manage drupal on a daily basis. Thank you again.

You are doing an awesome job! I am using your patches all the time. Today was the first time when I got an error when doing a dry run.

When upgrading 7.0 to 7.2, I get this:

Patching file misc/watchdog-error.png using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 6163: diff -Naur drupal-7.0/misc/watchdog-ok.png drupal-7.2/misc/watchdog-ok.png

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much. This is AWESOME!!! this way its also easy to maintain any core patches as i dont have to reapply them!

Thanks again for your great work

Thank you for this amazing job!

Any chance of getting a 7.7 to 7.8 update? I find that this method of updating drupal sites more convenient compared to their manual download upgrade.
