Upgrading Drupal

Took site offline to upgrade 5.2 -> 5.3
Installed new files, including new settings.php edited with local info

Site now gives nothing but blank pages except for main page which gives off-line message.
/user gives blank page
even update.php gives the "you don't have permission" page when $access_check = TRUE, but gives blank page when $access_check = FALSE.

I've even set the site-offline variable back to 0 in the variables table and the main page STILL gives the off-line message.

Any ideas?
Any hope?

Hi

I have been using Drupal from 4.5.3 version, today i updated to Drupal 5.3 and my Categories block disappeared, the only way to recover it was, creating a new block with Categories and writing there the html code the old version had. But the "1 year 35 weeks ago" counter wont update again.
In the old category block i could add taxonomy terms and it would automaticatly update in that block.

Is there any way i could recover the old categories block?

After updating from 5.2 to 5.3 I have the following issue:
I have a numer of nodes with powerpoints and/or word docs attached. If a user clicks on these, the file is downloaded but the filename is ' index.php' and not the original file name. I can see that the contents of the file is there if I rename the file with an .ptt of .doc extention. What could this be?
I am running 5.3 on a windows shared hosting provider.

I just moved my site to another server. With this movement i had to change form Mysql 4.1.11 to MySQL 5.0.22.
Everything is working fine except for one big and strange problem

Hi

I am puzzled. After updating to 5.3 i cannot upload content to /files with file attachment. All file types are failing.
The progressbar just keep on rolling until the connection is reset. Nothing appears in /files.

drwxrwxr-x 7 tanglang.fi www 920 Nov 26 16:41 files

Cron is running, and the size limits should not been exceeded.

Maybe someone else stumbled upon the same problem ?

Hi

I upgraded from 5.1 to 5.3 and some of my block titles have disappeared.

I opened one of the blocks ( configure) and saved it again with Correct title. Still it did not appear. Only the the blocks that are used by one of my "blockbars" have disappeared. All the rest of the block titles are fine. Even my second blockbar is displaying fine.

I am not sure what may be the issue. Anyone has any pointers.

Thanks
