Upgrading Drupal

Now that I've upgraded from 5.3 to 5.5, the homepage won't load. My browsers (firefox, safari) try to download any .php pages. index.php, etc.

When I upgraded, I backed up everything and wiped my webroot. Next, I installed 5.5 and copied back files/, files/.htaccess, and settings.php.

I followed these instructions:

I've been trying to debug an issue with a custom module and figured out that the problem occurred in our upgrade from Drupal 5.2 to Drupal 5.3. We have a custom module that we want to display content on a specific page so we set it up to trigger when the target path came up:

Hi @ALL

I am a bit confused - my brain seems to be empty...god forsake I need somebody with a solution.

The situation:
I am running since nearly 2 years a german web site "soccer-wikki".
There are three domain names for it.
1. soccer-wikki.de, which is redirected by .htaccess to
2. soccer-wikki.info, the main site running on Drupal v4.7
3. soccer-wikki.net, which is now running on Dupal v5.5

Both sides, .info and .net are now online.
I used the .net for migrating to 5.5 and now, everything seems to be okay.

I've got a site that's currently on 4.7.x and I want to upgrade (at long last) to drupal 5.x Are there any special steps to needed when moving to a new branch or do the usual steps of upgrading versions apply?

I updated from 5.3 to 5.5 yesterday and when log in as user 1, I get warning messages about my version of Drupal being out of date and the installed version shows as 5.3. I did the update first on my test server, and that worked fine, then on the real server, so I'm not sure what might have gone wrong. Has anyone seen this before?

I upgraded to Drupal 5.5 the first day it came out, but now the forums don't work. Here is the issue/s,

1. I make a new entry in the forum, and it gets submitted. However, the forum doesn't update by showing the new entry. But if I go to "admin" and check my "content" it shows the new entry as a "forum topic." The "forum topic" is logged in the data base, but it won't show up on the forum.

2. I Created a new forum and still have the same issue. The new forum topic entry gets submitted, but it doesn't show up in the forum. But when I check "content in the "admin", the entry appears there appropriately as a "forum topic."

3. I deleted all forums and started over with new forums. Duplicate problem. I've tried different angles to attack this and all forums refuse to update with any new entries. (but they are being logged into the database.)

4. Changed to different default themes, and still the same issue. I tried 3 different default themes -- so I assume this can't be a theme issue.

5. Checked admin logs and everything is normal. No errors are reported.

6. I disable, enabled all users, some users, no users, and still the forums refuse to update.
