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.

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.

  • Hi Nitesh, the migrate module..., I'll read about it to see if I can figure it out. It looks like to upgrade a site from Drupal 6 to 7 I also need three other modules to make it work... Thanks...

Hope this will help you,

For Upgrading from D6 to D7 you need to use Drush Site Upgrade module. You can go through Use Drush to Upgrade from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7

You can also refer Use Drush to Upgrade from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7
