Well,
this is a VERY SIMPLE issue… and you can find MANY others guides around, but let me just tell you :
1_
Backup all your web site files and export all your database tables …
2_
donwload the lastest 5.x version
3_
extract the .tar.gz file and, in the meantime login to get the directories of your website (usually using the ftp service)
4_
copy (overwrite) all the files extracted to your root directory
5_
eventually, change you permissions (it depends on your server configuration)
6_
go to http://www.youwebsite.com/update.php & run the database update script…
fine ! that’s all ! so simple ! you did it !!!
BUT
if you should get THIS error message
“The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled.”
(or your websites simply shows you an error message relate to php configuration)
probably the answer is to make a call named “php.ini“, into the root directory of your website, with those simple words inside
”
register_globals = OFF
memory_limit = 16M
”
easy, isn’t it ???
As usual hope it is useful to somebody…
