Drupal's update.php script redirecting to homepage and not updating
While upgrading a couple of different Drupal (5.x) sites, I ran into an annoying issue where the update.php script just redirected to the sites homepage after the "Select Version" page. The server in question has PHP's mod_security enabled which has caused some problems with other sites in the past, so I think it's related to that, but I'm not totally sure.
Any way, the fix is to add the following line of code to your update.php script before line 794
if ($_POST['op']) $_REQUEST['op'] = $_POST['op'];
The finished product should look something like:
update_fix_schema_version();
update_fix_watchdog_115();
update_fix_watchdog();
update_fix_sessions();
//start new code
if ($_POST['op']) $_REQUEST['op'] = $_POST['op'];
//end new code
$op = isset($_REQUEST['op']) ? $_REQUEST['op'] : '';
switch ($op) {
case 'Update':
$output = update_update_page();
break;
update_fix_watchdog_115();
update_fix_watchdog();
update_fix_sessions();
//start new code
if ($_POST['op']) $_REQUEST['op'] = $_POST['op'];
//end new code
$op = isset($_REQUEST['op']) ? $_REQUEST['op'] : '';
switch ($op) {
case 'Update':
$output = update_update_page();
break;
Have you had the same problem? Do you know what is causing it? Did the above code work for you?

Companies refuse to deal with people who abuse power, under perform and generally make life difficult for their co-workers because they are afraid of wrongful termination lawsuits etc....
