Upgrading Drupal

When I try to access my test site (local PC), I get "You don't have permission to access / on this server." if I change the Apache vhosts.conf to any directory other than "drupal". In this case trying to run Drupal6-beta3. BTW, I have also tried changing my current 5.3 directory to "drupal-5.3" and that fails the same way.

I then tried changing the "drupal-6" directory to just "drupal" and the site came up (well sort of, but that's a different issue).

So it's pretty clear I'm messing up something in Apache, but I am totally lost here.

Trying to start up D6-beta3 (upgrade from D5.3), I get "Unknown column 'info' in 'field list' query" on every table in the database.

I developed site on my own server and moving it now to its new home. I transfered files to new server and of course site says that there is a problem with mysql. I gave it a new server address but it has a small problem.

Mysql is on a different server than the site itself. I got the mysql servers IP which is 192.168.190.XXX. Yes, it's a local.

I have upgraded from Drupal 5.1 to 5.3 and now my site does not work. When I try going to admin log-in I get error message "Access denied You are not authorized to access this page."

Since I used Fantastico to install it I have no idea which My SQL database it created for this particular site. I have over dozen Drupal sites so the databases all named domainname_drpl1 then 2, 3 and so forth. How can I find to which database for which domain. I want to back it up and reinstall Drupal.

Then How do you link existing Drupal MySQL database to new Drupal installation?

Hi. Running latest Drupal 5.3 on php 4.4.4. I am considering an upgrade to php 5. Any helpful hints or things to look out for are greatly appreciated. Any negative issues? I've read that Drupal 5 is completely compatible. Any problem with the most popular 3rd party modules (cck, views, pathauto, xmlsitemap, nodewords etc.). Thanks for any suggestions.

After upgraded the pagination links are showing:

http://www.site.ext/node?page=1

While with the other Drupal version it was:

http://www.site.ext/node?from=10

I tried redirecting all the pagination pages to the new one with htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule node?from=(.*) http://www.url.ext/node?page=$1 [R=301,L]

But isnt working, any idea what failing?
