Upgrading Drupal

When I upgraded a site to Drupal 5 I have one oddity that I can't figure out. For some reason if you aren't logged in, the add comment/register links are displayed as html code. but once I login they are shown as rendered output.

any ideas?

Please accept my apologies if this item has been dealt with before - but I can't seem to find any referrence to it.

This morning i have upgraded to the Stable Version 6 package from the last RC4 version. However, part way through the upadte scritp i recieve this message:

system module can not be updated. Its schema version is 119. Updates up to and including 1021 have been removed in this release. In order to update system module, you will first need to upgrade to the last version in which these updates were available.

Followed all upgrade rules including de-installing pre-6 status update module, turned off ALL modules except core, reverted to Garland theme, took site offline, ran update.php on Drupal 5.7 database, exported 5.7 database then imported it back into a fresh mysql database for v 6.0, altered Drupal 6 .htaccess and settings.php files appropriately, uploaded Drupal 6 via FTP, access new Drupal installer, started 6.0 install process, got to step where you define Drupal 6 database including database name with user ID and password ... then get this:

——————————

Warning: Unknown column 'serialized' in 'field list' query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire, serialized FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables' in [drupal 6 "/includes/database.mysqli.inc" file] on line 128

I had a site (not active, just setup) in drupal 5 (latest).

- All 3party modules were de-activated first and being logged in, i copied drupal 6 over this install.
- i deleted every file in the drupal directories that were not part of 6
- in settings.php the login info has been transferred to version 6

Still i get this error:

Fatal error: Unknown function: phptemplate_get_ie_styles() in /home/mydomain/public_html/themes/garland/maintenance-page.tpl.php on line 23

WHat's my next step?

Hello,

Are there any tutorial on Drupal 5 -> Drupal 6 module conversion?
Most modules are still supporting only Drupal 5.x. And it would block deployment of Drupal 6.
I tried to convert a Drupal 5.x module to Drupal 6. I failed and don't understand why.
I read the Drupal 5 and 6 documentations. And still don't quite understand yet.
Of course, I'm not a good code writer.
But if there is a handy guide for that, I believe I could convert it successfully.

Hello

Hopefully someone can help me out here...

I have a menu setup like this:
- item
- item 2
- item 3
-- subitem 3 1
-- subitem 3 2
- item 4
-- subitem 4 1
-- subitem 4 2
etc.

I'm trying to make a block that will display the subitems, if they exist, when a visitor is on a relevant page.

So if I'm looking at the page for 'item 2', I won't see the block.

If I'm looking at 'item 3', 'subitem 3 1' or 'subitem 3 2' I will see this block.
