I made slow progress today, mostly because of my unfamiliarity with the tools greengeeks (my web host) gave me.<\/p>\n

Since drupal really wants you to backup before doing a core update, I thought I would simply copy the tree starting with document root to a new subdirectory. This mostly worked except for the few items in protected subdirectories, e.g., config.php. Once I figured that out, it was a simple matter of changing permissions and copying, but only after wasting a bunch of time.<\/p>\n

Then I realized I needed to create a new database. This link summarized the process pretty well, but I eventually found that I needed to use the mysql tool in greengeeks’ control panel to create the new database and to set up the new user for it.<\/p>\n
