Upgrading Drupal

Loaded 6.1 several weeks ago and everything has been working great until I noticed
new users cannot create an account, I have tried different usser names and email addresses
but I get a warning message:

Hi, I would like to know which module is been used to render videos in drupal6.
I noticed emfield is not available till its dependencies are satisfied (cck and views2).

Thanks.

I have followed the 'upgrade' instructions, but do not have the expected
$access_check=TRUE in the update.php file

What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,

I love Drupal. From the very first time. I think that it's an excellent CMS, easy, powerful, flexible, etc. etc. etc.
But... if you have to update it, it can be absolutely CRAZY!
Let me explain my case:

My website runs Drupal 4.6.8 (yeah, pretty old...), and it has several add-on modules included - being the most important ones "image" and "img_assist". I found them to be very useful for that early Drupal version, but now I guess that they are more annoying than useful...
I also have some "listhandler", "mailhandler" and "userspoints", but those are not that crucial.

My site has, as reported by MySQL, 320 users, 469 nodes, 566 comments, 66 images... and I will obviously *not* enter all those by hand in a new Drupal installation.
Unfortunately, the 'update' scripts do not work very well... I've been able to update the site fairly OK to 4.6.11 (the last 4.6.x series I think), but beyond that nothing works.

I've tried (some examples):
- with all possible modules deactivated
- with the standard theme (Bluemarine) activated (which, BTW, is not working well in my installation!)
- copying the new drupal files over the folder, or starting from scratch
- etc.

...and this, for updating to 4.7.11 and to 5.7. Updating to 6.1 directly obviously doesn't work neither. I've always followed the guide.

I just cant manage to instal the views module. Ive copied it into the modules folder but it doesnt apper in the module list???!! PLEASE HELP ME

Hi, guys

I'd like to ask you for advice - I'm upgrading from 5.7 to the latest so far 6.2 Drupal version and getting warnings about not existing table called "flood":

* user warning: Table 'mysite.flood' doesn't exist query: ALTER TABLE flood ADD fid int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY in C:\Program Files\my_path\htdocs\drupal_62\modules\system\system.install on line 1438.
* user warning: Table 'mysite.flood' doesn't exist query: ALTER TABLE flood ADD INDEX allow (event, hostname, timestamp) in C:\Program Files\my_path\htdocs\drupal_62\includes\database.mysql-common.inc on line 434.

After that I see just "Site off-line" message and cannot take it online, even going directly to the /admin/settings/site-maintenance

What I did was:

A. prepared the original 5.7 installation:

1. Checked error log for errors in the original 5.7 installation - clean
2. Run status report - everything is ok
3. Disabled all the custom modules
4. Took the site to the off-line mode
5. Made backup of all the files
6. Made database backup

B. prepared new installation:

1. Downloaded the latest Drupal 6.2 to the drupal_62 folder
2. Copied my custom files on the top of the drupal_62 folder: /files, robots.txt etc. , so settings.php is in the \htdocs\drupal_62\sites\default\settings.php, including the DB connection info

C. Made the upgrade
