Upgrading Drupal

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?

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 ?
