Upgrade Drupal websiteBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
72 hrs
Mentors: Sean
A portion of the BRL-CAD website runs on Drupal, but it's out of date. Migrating to newer versions will require incrementally updating the website database per Drupal's upgrade instructions along with all of our modules. Access to a copy of our webserver files will be provided. Experience working on a command-line is a must, ideally with prior Drupal experience if you hope to complete this within a couple hours. This task involves getting the Drupal portion of our website cleanly migrated to the latest version of Drupal. All installed modules should also be updated. References: |

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Moin Nadeem. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
There's some setup work involved with this task on our part, so join our IRC channel and contact me there so we can get your account set up.
Started a private conversation with you, but probably will not be able to start direct upgrades to the server yet due to homework.
I gave you the wrong username -- it's gcimoin.
The claim on this task has been removed, someone else can claim it now.
What version of Drupal is the website using now?
This task is on hold at the moment as we have to migrate the database first. I believe it's a drupal5 install.
I believe I migrated the relevent database, so I can work on this on the secondary server.
I would like to work on this task.

crit.brlcad.org does not have a necessary PHP extention enabled: hash. Drupal 7 does not run without that extension.
The hash extension is now installed.
The deadline of the task has been extended with 1 days and 0 hours.
Now I discover that the PDO extention must be enabled.
The JSON extention must be enabled as well.
Installed.
Clearly, there has to be more! :) Now the pdo_mysql database driver must be enabled (currently only the basic pdo extention is enabled.)
There has to be a more efficient way to do this. Can you not get a list of all extensions they utilize? That should be defined somewhere.
I checked the list: that was why I added JSON. I forgot to point out that PDO_MYSQL was needed with PDO. There is nothing else on the list.
Thank you for the extra time as well.
Installed. No worries on the time. It's not your fault that drupal has prerequirements that aren't available.
It does not appear to have installed; I still get the error and this one is on on the phpinfo page: http://crit.brlcad.org/info.php
It was installed, but the web server wasn't restarted. check again.
Drupal does not have very good system requirements documentation. The page with the system requirements checker is now able to run, and it says that we need
installed
The deadline of the task has been extended with 1 days and 0 hours.
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Jacob, so that looks just fantastic, nice work. The only problem I noticed is that my account (at least) seems to have no permission to do anything. I can log in, but somehow the permission roles are gone or not being used. Any thoughts?
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
Your account should work now.
That looks better, what was the problem?
If you provide your full name, we'll credit you accordingly in our authorship documentation.
I forgot to enable the management block when I disabled the managemnet toolbar, so I manually had to acess the admin interface.
