Drupal 6.x

Hi,

I am new to using Drupal but have had to jump in and get to know how to install and use it due to a client having Drupal installed on his site.

The client had the site, which ran Drupal 6.31, installed on a server in his office and had an issue with a former web developer who prevented the client from using the site from July 2024 onwards having hijacked the domain into his own name and locking the client out from accessing the site via both the browser and server.

i am archiving a old site on a local machine running xampp that will display the site in a museum. it is old drupal 6.38.

i have successfully migrated it and everything works except the images are not displaying and this site has 7gigs of historical images.

the old image path shows http://localhost/sites/default/files/scenic stuff 001resized.jpg 

i have a old historic site chronicling rock climbs on Yosemite's el capitan  and running drupal 6.38. my client wants to stop paying for hosting and migrate it to a laptop running wamp

i have installed wamp on windows 11 and have successfully installed drupal 6.38 using mariadb

the live site uses mysql. when i create a mysql db and try to do a fresh install of 6.38 i get the notice "unknown database ...."

wamp is using the same version of php as the live site 5.6

Hey!  My e-commerce website is in bad shape. Customers can put things in the cart but if they try to checkout, They get an error. 

I'm looking for a recommended expert that can fix the problem. I'm on Drupal 6 and Ubercart 6. Yes, I know they're old I just need it fixed so I can limp along until I get a new website from a new provider. 

Of course, I'm concerned with irreputable people doing something bad once they get into the background, so I could use some reassurance that the person is legit. 

I don't mind paying for the work, of course.
