Upgrading Drupal

I upgraded to 6.2 today, and I'm warned that

"The update.php script is accessible to everyone without authentication check, which is a security risk. You must change the $update_free_access value in your settings.php back to FALSE. "

But when I attempt to upload an edited copy of settings.php, my ftp client tells me permission is denied.

I even (temporarily) set permissions for that file to 777 (yikes!), and even then permission was denied.

What gives?

Hi,

i have just upgraded my site from 5.3 to 5.7. The site is under construction anyway but now the status report gives me an error, saying:

----
PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.
----

Does anybody have an idea? Before the upgrade, It works fine but now, it doesn't appear.

thank's for you help

Hi,

in drupal 5 I used the nodeorder module to display all nodes that have a certain taxonomy term in a user-defined order.
As far as I could tell, there seem to be no plans to port nodeorder to drupal 6. Does anyone know, if there is a different way to get this functionality in D6?

Thanks in advance,
cheers, Rduolf

With the latest update, I have 'access denied' message for all my pages, except 'contact' page, although I have followed the update instructions. It is happening regardless of admin/anonymous user. Permissions are in place, I've even rebuilt the permissions, nothing helps. I am on pgsql/apache. Anyone experiencing the same?

I'm currently running Drupal 4.6. I'm worried about what will break when I upgrade. In particular, will my PHP themes break?
