hi Thinktank, i went and f&%$#d up our website trying to upgrade drupal versions without fully knowing what i was doing. can anyone come to my aid? for a knowledgeable person, it would be very little time from your normal day. would love to find someone from the bike community to help... is that you?... read on.
urgency: somewhat high; our website is currently down and thats never good :(
overall goal: upgrade from drupal 5 to drupal 7 so that we can experiment with CiviCRM
what happened: i backed up our database using update/migrate module; and then performed the upgrade through out awesome hosts, mayfirst out of nyc. however, i went from 5 to 7 - which is wrong.... and I am bad with command line, so dont really fully understand the instructions that are being given me.
also: we are running drupal pretty much 'out-of-the-box' so this should be really easy!! no theming, no extra modules... but of course we would like to keep the historical database!!
pay: we can pay someone if that is useful/necessary and if they have some credentials to get it done quickly. if someone wants to volunteer to help us out, we will send you a few of our 'patchkits' - i would add a link, but HA! the site is down. it's a handmade (tube)pouch with a hand-printed patch, and and actual patchkit and tire levers... a great stocking stuffer for a diy-biker person.
Thanks, Andrew Lynn Troy Bike Rescue Troy, NY
