I recently upgraded a site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6.29. I did the upgrade on my workstation, then uploaded everything to the server and loaded the DB export into a newly created DB on the server using mysql on the command line.
Everything went perfectly: site up and running, looks great, I am happy bunny.
Here: https://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 Warning: Fixing the code execution prevention may require server configuration; please read:
To fix the code execution prevention vulnerability on existing Apache installations also requires changes to your site's .htaccess files in the files directories.
I only need to be able to add news, pictures (these two need to be easy to upload for a normal user) and a nice looking way to display "people" (info like birthdays and things).
