I have been trying to upgrade to Drupal 6.16, and everything seemed to go okay until I ran update.php and got this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_system_listing() in /home/wicksig8/public_html/includes/install.inc on line 255
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks :)

I see a lot of posts about the troubles that people have had trying to do the upgrade to 6.16.
I had a complete crash of my installation when I tried to upgrade, and I've seen many other issues from small to big related to this upgrade.
After browsing through this site I found the usage statistics and realized that there are many people who don't even bother with upgrading their sites which makes sense if they want to avoid some of the issues in this forum.
So after trying to upgrade and totally crashing my site I reverted to the previous installation and started searching for an answer to this question; Is there a way to do the upgrade that guarantees it will succeed?

I recently upgraded from 6.15 6o 6.16 and have lost all ability to change or display default favicon. I rebuilt same site from database site on different server and am having the same problem. I've cleared site cache and browser cache about 50 times, and used 5 different computers to test using IE/FF and chrome.
I am stuck where to look next. I even remade the custom favicon icon from scratch again. I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking something basic, but am not sure where else to look. I've changed the default theme, I've tried global and individual settings, clearing cache each time and still have no joy ??

I'm sort-of new to drupal...Not sure if anybody feels the same as me.. I only have one drupal site at the moment, but it feels like I have to upgrade every single week. and it takes such a long time.. What if i had 5/10 drupal sites? And, it's not only the drupal security updates, but also the modules and theme updates?
Is there ANY way to go around this?
Please lemme know. This really consumes alot of my time.?

Hi everyone!
I´m making a blog using Drupal and I´m doing some fast progress.
I got a problem though, a pretty big one, when I want to use a picture in a blog entry, I have to type in the "URL" of the picture.
Problem is that the picture does not have a URL yet, it´s on my computers harddrive! Since I´m using a localhost I guess that path would work for now, but not when the blog is on a real webserver.
So I need to create a archive where I can upload pictures from my computer and that way the picture will have an URL.
I was thinking that I could create a new navigation link where I would a little library for my pictures.

i use a module which modifies the default publishing settings
after upgrading to 5.22 a blog entry with settings to published is still unpublished.
but after a user posts a blog entry with settings to published it creates the node with 'unpublished'.
does anybody know:
did the drupal 5.22 update include any changes to the node module?
if i take a look at CVS it doesnt seems so.

I was updating to 6.16 and ran into some unexpected errors. I'm getting two different error messages, depending on which page I try to load.
For my homepage I get:
warning: require_once(./includes/lock.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/maest3/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc  on line 1063Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/lock.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/maest3/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 1063

I'm yet another user who had problem after the 6.15 -> 6.16 upgrade. I followed all the instruction in the UPGRADE.txt and read the documentation online.
The first time I upgraded, I was unable to get to any of the pages...I kept getting the 404 error. So I removed the download and put my original 6.15 database back and 6.15 worked again.
I then did a fresh download of the update and once again followed the instruction in UPGRADE.txt and now I am getting the following message when I run update.php:
"warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /Users/mona/Sites/drupal-6.16/update.php on line 314.

I noticed my hosting now has an CPANEL installer upgrade utility called INSTALLTRON
Has anyone used this to update/upgrade from say 6.15 to 6.16 competently.
I realize Fantastico has fallen short for many people upgrading, but I've not read about Installtron.
Thanks

I performed an upgrade exactly according to the instructions in UPGRADE.txt.
Site works fine. 'system.module' says it is version 6.16 but the status report still says my site is not secure and available updates tells me I'm still running 6.15 and should upgrade to 6.16.
UPDATE: I DID run update.php...repeatedly.
UPDATE: I checked the system table in the database and it says the the files used from /modules/ and /themes/ are version 6.15 even though the actual .module and .info files in these folders say they are version 6.16. Is the table just not updating? If so, how do I force it to update?
