Upgrading Drupal

So - I started with Drupal 5.7 and apart from being difficult - it's cool

I have added a few modules now and mostly I have unzipped them into MODULES folder on my server.

HOWEVER..

it comes to my attention that the proper thing to do is put these added modules folders into the SITES folder, maybe inside anotehr folder: SITES/ALL

My question is - can I just do this after they are installed?

Can I simply go to the server and move the folders?

Or will that screw everything?

Thanks if you know the answer...

Hi,

I am getting below error messages while trying to upgrade from Drupal 5.2 to Drupal 6.1. I am not sure whether I am missing something or this would be something to resolve elsewhere. Thanks.

I do it by clicking about four times to drill down to Home > Administer > Content Management > Comments, then clicking on the "approval queue" tab. Do you use some better way, like an email notification, or a block that tells you about it? If so, how do I steal your technique?

Hello,

I have just upgraded my Drupal 6.1 installation to Drupal 6.2 by following upgrading instructions (turning my site offline, replacing then Drupal source, running update.php and turning it back online), but I get a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_current_to_arg() in /www/includes/menu.inc on line 594

update.php doesn't show any possible updates, and I have no way to make this work.

Has anyone faced this problem? Is there a solution?

In some nodes, full HTML formatting has been totally lost on upgrade to 5.7. It's an extensive problem. If I pull the code out an place it in dreamerweaver it renders properly. It renders properly in the fckeditor window. Hit the submit button and it's gone.

If I switch to php view, the page renders properly. But the node code involves no php. I'm not inclined to change these nodes to php.
Any ideas on what's happened? BTW, I use html corrector, but the issue is the same whether enabled or unenabled.

Thanks--

My database keeps saying it's out of date. When I try to update it I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phptemplate_get_ie_styles() in /home/kilro2/public_html/aifunction/main/themes/garland/maintenance-page.tpl.php on line 23

I dont understand why It is pulling the garland theme I am using a different one so I am sure that may be a problem. I am also recieving the error below on my home page which may be related:
