update.php

Version 1.317 (checked in on 2010/03/06 at 06:31:23 by dries)

Administrative page for handling updates from one Drupal version to another.

Point your browser to "http://www.example.com/update.php" and follow the instructions.

If you are not logged in using either the site maintenance account or an account with the "Administer software updates" permission, you will need to modify the access check statement inside your settings.php file. After finishing the upgrade, be sure to open settings.php again, and change it back to its original state!
