I just upgraded Drupal with a security fix. With WordPress, the upgrade process is so painless and automatic. You click a link and WordPress takes care of just about everything. With Drupal I thought I was back in the dark ages. First I had to find the update instructions. Buried in the Tar/Zip file is a file named UPGRADE.txt. There the instructions started off with an enthusiatic "Let’s begin!" Whew… I’m glad they had that exclaimation mark….
There were fourteen manual steps to follow. At the end of the fourteen steps there was a reference to see more information on upgrading at the Drupal site. Boy I could hardly wait to read more information. Instead they gave some minimal information about what releases are supported and then told me I could find more information in… what for it…. UPGRADE.txt in the file packaged with my Drupal files.
So I went and read the UPGRADE.txt file and at the bottom was a reference to see more information on upgrading at the Drupal site. Boy I could hardly wait to read more information. Instead they gave some minimal information about what releases are supported and then told me I could find more information in… what for it…. UPGRADE.txt in the file packaged with my Drupal files.
Repeat the above two paragraphs indefinitely.
