Instructions on how to update Drupal core with a newer version of Drupal of the same category or same base version [ ie Drupal 7.1 to 7.2 etc ]
- Make a backup of your Drupal instance. (For ex: with MySQL)
- Download the latest release of your current Drupal version.
- Extract the [tar ball or zip] Drupal package.
- Set your site on maintenance mode (For ex: How on D7)
- Don't delete all the files & folders.
- Instead i copy all the files, except the robot.txt htaccess and sites, and paste/replaced them into my site.
- If the update release includes changes to settings.php replace old settings.php in.../sites/default/ with the new one, and edit site-specific entries (eg database name, user, and password)
- If you have modified files such as .htaccess or robots.txt re-apply those changes to the new files.
- If you have a favicon.ico file that was deleted replace it too
- Login to your site as administrator or as user no 1
- Instead i use drush to update the site #drush updb
- Follow the process to update your Drupal instance
- Disable maintenance mode
- I run another update command using drush to update only the security drush up --security-only.
Troubleshooting:
When i checked out my modules page, there was an error concerning the profile.
Notice: Undefined index: distribution_name in drupal_install_profile_distribution_name() (line 207 of includes/install.inc)
The solution is to run the following command in your database.
UPDATE system SET status=1 WHERE name='standard';
