Drupal 6.x

I initially thought that I could follow the usual core update instructions, but all I got was the install page, and an error that it there was data already there. I tried several different ways, including merging the sites settings.php with the new version and the same database info.

I've searched many places to figure out how to upgrade Drupal 5 to 6, and the only thing i found was that it has to be done by manually copying portions of the database over.

Hi,

What would be good Modules to use for such a task?? -- For those who are experienced in Drupal, what would be the way you would set this up?

I am relatively new to Drupal, but am Learning.

I have lots of MP3 lectures which I want to share with my community. They will be of various subjects and speakers.

what would be a good way of having those in my drupal website? Should I simply upload them each in seperate pages? or is there a better way of organising and displaying them??

I want to make a few text changes like when you get there it says "Access denied" I have no problem with the denial, I have it set that way. I want to change the words themselves to something else. I have several places I would like to do this. Can anyone, no, would anyone, please tell me where these are in 6.x

site: www.ferriesofbc.com
Drupal version 6rc4
installed modules: non

I have created a new page called "home" and made that the default page so that I can design it the way I want. The problem is, I don't want the blocks and left column to appear on this page. I have tried $page !=0 but that removes them from all pages and the left column is still present. Suggestions?

Thanks

(in the minelli theme)

Yet another..."can I do this in Drupal?" question.

I want to start a site in which art and galleries are the main features. Each piece of art would be a node, with characteristics like price, genre, size, etc. and would be associated with a gallery. I'd also like event nodes, so that galleries could post when they're starting new exhibits. Also, I'd like artists to have their own pages so they could post their own art and to associate it with whatever gallery they are featured at.

That seems pretty straightforward, I feel like I could implement that in a basic way in Drupal. But I would like to give gallery owners and artists the ability to upload their own art and events. As far as I know, Drupal out of the box doesn't have that kind of robust permission system, right? For example, if I wanted to give artists the ability to upload art, and then tag that art as being featured at a gallery, but give the gallery owner the permission to approve that art and remove it later.

Later on, I'd like to expand the site to include restaurants and bands, since this site will be based around a monthly citywide art/culture walk...thought I'd rather keep the focus on the art rather than have it be a general entertainment site.
