Upgrading a site

Question

I am attempting to upgrade one of my sites from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. I have downloaded and made Drush executable. I've also install the Drush site-upgrade command. The problem I'm having is understanding the steps or the process of aliases. I really need someone to explain it to me in layman's terms as I am just learning all of this. I've tried several different configurations and still can't seem to get it to work. So after some digging around within Drush I have also noticed when I do the drush st command I get this (posted below)

PHP configuration : /home/user/drush/php.ini /home/user/drush/php.ini Drush version : 5.9
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files : /home/user/.drush/cm.aliases.drushrc.php

Which I'm thinking is wrong, I shouldn't have 2 php.ini files show up for my PHP configuration should I? I should mention I have a multi domain site. I'm guessing I need to fix this first before I figure out the aliases issue, but I have posted what I put in the .drush folder as my cm.aliaes.drushrc.php file

$aliases['test'] = array(
  'root' => '/public_html/folder-of-domain-to-update',
  'uri' => 'localhost',
);

If I go to the /home folder and run the command drush sa, I get:

@cm
@cm.test
@none

If I go to the /home/user/public_html/folder-of-domain-to-update and run the command drush sa, I get:

@cm
@cm.test
@none
@self
default

When I run the command drush sup at the /home/user/public_html/folder-of-domain-to-update level I get this:

No target argument specified. To perform the site upgrade, define an alias record for the target site.

If someone could give me some direction or help I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

You could use the Migrate module for this purpose.

The migrate module provides a flexible framework for migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating core Drupal objects such as nodes, users, files, terms, and comments are included - it can easily be extended for migrating other kinds of content. Content is imported and rolled back using a bundled web interface (Migrate UI module) or included Drush commands (strongly recommended).

For more details you could go through the README.txt of this module.
