I am attempting to upgrade from 4.6.2 to 6.2. (Yes, I know I should have upgraded many times before, but this is my situation.) I followed the steps in the documentation, but when I ran upgrade.php, I got a blank screen and op=info. I followed the advice on this page - http://drupal.org/node/112884 - and turned error reporting on, as well as setting higher memory levels. I now get these errors:

These look like a result of the database not being updated, but I receiving them while trying to run the script that updates the database, so I'm stuck. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Thanks,
Darren

Continuing to read the upgrade forums in a less directed fashion, I'm seeing some advice that suggests that I can't just upgrade directly to 6.2. Rather, I need to do something like 4.6.2 -> 4.6.11 -> 4.7.11 -> 5.0 -> 5.7 -> 6.0 -> 6.2. While I relish all the fun in store if I follow this route, I find myself already stuck again, as I can't find releases earlier than 5.7 on the site. Is there somewhere where older versions can still be downloaded?

They are at http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/ I had the same problem few days ago... looking for old versions without success.
Since I'm subscribed at Security announcements http://drupal.org/security I got the link from a mail I had in my mailbox.

I think that this URL is really important but I couldn't find it at drupal.org website.

PS: Sorry for my english I'm from Spain.
PS2: I have some trouble upgrading too. I found this thread http://drupal.org/node/249099#comment-815182 that may interest you.
