Upgrading D6 to D7 - not so hard as it looks

It was time I upgraded my site to Drupal 7. How to do that, sure I had installed some sites on Drupal 7 from the beginning but I had never upgraded a Drupal 6 site.
So the first thing to do was find out how to do it, thus I started downloading Drupal 7. There was a file named upgrade.txt, well that is a good start. I read it, and thought: “Well this isn't too hard.”.

Redirects

Redirect example
Rename an url
Redirect

Say you want to change pages in your site.

No problem just change it, you say. But is that all?

  • Think of all the pages linking to your current site. They all get a "404 page not found" error.
  • Think of the search engines which will not produce the right results
  • Think of your pagerank which will vanish instantly

The answer to all of these problems are redirects.

Installing drush

You might have heard about drush, or be interested in drush. If not you should.
Drush stands for DRUpal SHell, and anyone who uses drupal seriously really should use it. This is because drush will allow you to install and update Drupal modules apt-get style. And it not only stops at installing and updating modules, it goes from installing Drupal to installing modules, to enabling and disabling modules.
So what do we need?
First of all Drupal, well you don't technically need that but you will probably want it.
