Drupal 6>7/CiviCRM 4.1>4.X Upgrade strategy needed
July 11, 2013, 10:38:19 pm
I need to move my current Civi DB to a new web host.

My current config is a CiviCRM v4.1.5 running on a Drupal 6.28 website. The current web host server is running MySQL 5.0.51a and PHP 5.2.17, and the web hosting service cannot upgrade either MySQL or PHP.

The new web host, Pantheon (www.getpantheon.com), has servers running PHP 5.3 (PHP-FPM) and MySQL 5.5. I can install either Drupal 6 or 7 on the Pantheon web host.

Ultimately I want the latest version of Civi that can run on Drupal 7 on the new server. What's the best course of action?

Should I install D6 and Civi 4.1.5 on the new host, migrate my DB, test (of course), then upgrade both? (Civi first, then Drupal?)

Does Civi 4.1.5 work on D7? If so, should I install D7 and C 4.1.5 on the new host, migrate, test, then upgrade both?

I asking because I can't find any D6>D7 upgrade info in the Civi documentation.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Steve

CiviCRM 4.1 and above work on both drupal 6 & 7 but you need to change the UF variable in your civicrm.settings.php to 'Drupal6' or 'Drupal' to reflect your CMS version

This is a little more complicated.

Pantheon says I should use their CiviCRM Starter Kit to put a working version of CiviCRM on a Drupal 7 installation, but (of course) that would install the Civi version 4.3.

I hit problems on Pantheon trying to install CiviCRM 4.1.5 manually. These problems are documented, but not fixed for 4.1.5 (https://drupal.org/node/1978796; and see attachment). They are fixed with the latest version of Civi in the Starter Kit.

With my current host unable to upgrade PHP and MySQL to 4.3 system specs, is it still possible to upgrade Civi on the current Drupal 6 install in order to transfer it to the Drupal 7 on the new host? Does Civi 4.3 need PHP 5.3.3+ and MySQL 5.1.x to update?

Thanks,
Steve

Pantheon's response to trying to get Civi v. 4.1.5 installed is attached.

Am trying to upgrade a client's site which is on a host that is not providing mySQL trigger access to their clients.  However it sounds like they will run the triggers for the client if provided information on what the triggers are that need to be run.  I of-course do not know what they are:  Could I possible get a list, or documentation of what triggers need to be run, to pass on to the hosting company?

check

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-13194

if u can look into it and contribute a patch that would be great. if not a developer, would be great if u can sponsor the fix. I suspect its a 5-10 hour job
