Problems after PHP update (4->5)

Hi

i recently installed drupal on my webserver, and it worked perfectly. but a part of the imagecache module always showed an error because it doesn't support php 4. so i asked my webshost to upgrade my account to php 5, which they did.

anyways, now the page is not really working anymore, i'm just seeing the content, but the theme is gone and the links are linked wrong.

update.php in 5.7 goes to blank screen

I tried an upgrade to 5.7. Everything went smoothly, site appeared to be functioning properly, however, when I ran update.php I got a blank screen. Although I didn't encounter any other problems I downgraded my websites back to 5.7 (I tried multiple different sites). Any suggestions?

Content only available when logged in as Admin

Hello;

My host just upgraded from PHP 4.x to PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 4.x to MySQL 5.0.27, I'm running Drupal 4.7

When logged in as Admin/user1, I see all the content and everything appears normal but when I'm not logged in and viewing as an anonymous user all the menus and taxonomy terms exist but there is no content. The main page shows the "welcome to a new drupal installation" page. In the access permissions I unchecked saved and rechecked and saved "view content" for anonymous users but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Can't join admin section

Hi, i've upgraded from 5.7 to 6 RC3, and now i can't access to /admin. The rest of the entire site works good, i can also join directly to admin sections, but not to admin root, it don't load.

I've also tried to install 6 RC3 from 0, but i've exactly the same problem.

Someone knows?

Regards.

Upgrade from 5.6. to 5.7 update goes to database install screen

I searched the forums for this issue and could not find the same problem.

I using Drupal 5.6 (or was using it) on a Hostgator web hosting services. I started with 5.3 and upgraded to 5.5 with no problems. I then upgraded 5.5 to 5.6 with no problems. Last night I tried upgrading 5.6 to 5.7, but ran into a the following problem.

When I attempted to run update (step 10 in the upgrade.txt file), instead of taking me to the normal database screen, the system redirected to the install screen and requested mysql database name, user name and password.

Upgrade 5.1 to 5.3 with Fantastico worked! Next step?

Sorry for starting another thread about Fantastico but I think I should share this.

I installed Drupal 5.1 about a year ago using Fantastico De Lux. After reading several threads about Fantastico I decided to uninstall Drupal using Fantastico and then install the latest version (without using Fantastico, since Fantastico doesn't support the latest version). However, Fantastico didn't have an uninstall option, just an update option to 5.3, so I thought why not give it a try?

First there was a warning that I should not upgrade if I have installed modules. I have in fact installed several modules, for instance cck, views, link, adsense and codefilter, but anyway... this is what I did.

1. Make sure all modules are up-to-date (not sure if this is necessary)
2. Backup the database using phpMyAdmin
3. Backup the files in the public_html directory (the root of my Drupal installation)
4. Run the Fantastico update
5. Run update.php (seemed to be part of the Fantastico update)
6. Copy all the modules to the modules directory
7. Run update.php again

So far this seem to have worked like a charm. Plain luck?

Of course the site was in a partly broken state during steps 4-7, but since it's a small site I think nobody noticed.
