Hi
Here is what I am running:

Apache: 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP: v4.4.4
MYSQL: 4.1.19-standard
phpnuke: 6.4
Drupal: 5.1

I am new to Drupal from php nuke. I have a 6.4 php nuke with gallery2 embedded that someone set up for me like years ago. I have nearly 400 members with most the content being in the gallery, which, by the way, I love. I am not very knowledgeable or skilled at php but have had to learn some of it. My knowledge of phpmyadmin is also very very limited.

Nuke continues to have one error after another. It is confusing, heavy and too cumbersome for what I really need. I have had to learn much but have wrestled with it long enough. After much consideration and experimenting I have decided to migrate it to Drupal. Now I have been 3 solid days and nights trying to do this..it's crazy.

I installed drupal, imbedded the gallery and tried to execute the migrate script. It times out or gives me a page cannot be displayed. I was told by my webhost support that I needed to do it without gallery first so deleted and started over. I have googled everything I can find on how to execute a script but I am still not sure I am doing this right.

I put the migrate.php file into my root drupal directory after I change the database permissions. I copy it then go to phpmyadmin, select the Drupal database then sql tab and paste it into the sql box.
I have tried every script I could find. I am sure I am doing something wrong and have spent over 25 hours on this. I am confident it isn't an easy task but it can't be this difficult either. Can someone please, please help me, I am desperate.

Thank You-Vic
