Getting Started with Drupal 7 Tutorials
Before updating module or core:
- How can I backup my database or table?
- Backup root directory (e.g. with Filezilla)
Updating core:
- Update Drupal Core
- Remember sites and modules.
The manual way:
cd sites/all/modules
# backup old module
tar cvf DATE.tar MODULE
(find PATH to new version of module on drupal.org)
# get new module
wget PATH
through site:
# backup database
- Configuration / System / Backup and Migrate / Do backup
# go into maintenance mode
- Configuration / Development / Maintenance mode / Switch on
# move old module away
mv MODULE MODULE.tmp
# unpack new module
tar xzvf MODULE-NEW.tar.gz
through site:
# do update related to new module
- Configuration / Development / Maintenance mode / Update script
# leave maintenance mode
- Configuration / Development / Maintenance mode / Switch off
check that everything is running
# delete the temporary file
rm MODULE-NEW.tar
# delete old module
rm -r MODULE.tmp
# move the backup away
mv DATE.tar ~/backup
Multi-site functionality:
(Place copies of default in the folder below MAIN drupal, not any other sites, that may be located differently.)
