-2. Log on as the user with user ID 1.
+ Note: For a single site setup the configuration file is the
+ "settings.php" file located at sites/default/settings.php.
+ For multisite configuration the configuration file is
+ located in a structure like the following:
+ sites/default/settings.php
+ sites/example.com/settings.php
+ sites/sub.example.com/settings.php
+ sites/sub.example.com.site3/settings.php
+ More information on multisite configuration is located in
+ the INSTALL.txt file.
-3. Remove all the old Drupal files then unpack the new Drupal
- files into the directory that you run Drupal from.
+2. Disable contributed modules and switch to a core theme
+ (bluemarine or garland).
-4. Modify the new configuration file to make sure
- it has the latest and correct information.
+3. Log on as the user with user ID 1. (User ID 1 is the first
+ account created and the main administrator account.) User
+ ID 1 needs to be logged in so that you can access update.php
+ file (step 8) which can only be run by user ID 1. Do not
+ close your browser until step 9 is complete.
-5. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php.

+5. Unpack the new Drupal files and directories into the Drupal
+ installation directory.
+
+6. Copy the backed up files-directory and sites-directories to the
+ Drupal installation directory. If the original .htaccess or
+ robots.txt files have been modified, copy the backed up
+ versions of these files to the installation directory
+ directory as well.
+
+7. Verify the new configuration file to make sure it has the
+ latest and correct information.
+
+8. (Optional) Re-install contributed modules.
+
+ Note: Make sure the version of a module matches your
+ version of Drupal. Modules from previous versions may
+ not be compatible with the current version. Check
+ http://drupal.org/project/Modules for the version of a
+ module to match your version of Drupal.
+
+9. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php
+ (replace www.example.com with your drupal installations domain
+ name). This step will update the database to the new Drupal
+ installation.
+
+ Note: If you are unable to access update.php as user ID 1
+ do the following:
+
+ - With a text editor find the update.php file on your system.
+ It should be in the main Drupal directory that you installed
+ all the files into.
+
+ - There is a line near top of update.php that says
+ $access_check = TRUE;. Change it to $access_check = FALSE;.
+
+ - As soon as the script is done, you must change the update.php
+ script back to its original form to $access_check = TRUE;.
+
+Note: Upgrading sequentially is recommended, one release at a time.
+It is possible to skip releases, but is not advised.
