It boggles my mind that NO ONE has mentioned that a CORE module of Drupal that is simply not switched on by default is Syslog. So what if the CMS logs to the database by default? If you know better, switch that off (you have been able to do this since V6 started using dblog and NOT Watchdog) and log using Syslog. Come on people, wake up!
Check these:

- jacquesm 17y agoThe majority of the drupal sites out there are stuck on 5.x and can't upgrade because of the lack of a simple upgrade path. Upgrading should not be an order of magnitude more work than installing and building the site in the first place.
- ten7 17y agoMajority? Where's your proof? I think "majority" is just conjecture... show me some numbers and I'll believe you.
- jacquesm 17y agoOk, you're right, it's just conjecture, but that conjecture is based on looking in to a whole bunch of sites using drupal. Let me go do my homework and get back to you on that to see if it is the same across a larger sample.
- ten7 17y agoAwesome. I tried finding some numbers myself, but was disappointed in the lack of data. Would be glad to see what you find...
- aasarava 17y agoDrupal.org tracks download statistics for contributed modules. So one way to get a sense of how many Drupal 5 sites are out there in comparison to Drupal 6 sites is to look at the versions of popular modules that are getting downloaded. In particular, see CCK and Views.
- jacquesm 17y agoNo, that won't work. You need to know what version someone started on. That's the bigger problem in finding migration data, to find out when someone joined up. If someone started at version 4 and they've kept current all the way through to version 7 then that would be the kind of stuff we're looking for. After all, the point I was trying to make was that it is very hard for people to upgrade across major versions, so plenty of them are stuck with whatever was 'hot' when they first started out. The knowledge required for migrating drupal to a higher level version is a lot more involved than for building the website in the first place.
