Upgrading Drupal

From the little digging that i have done it would seem that any Drupal 4.7 sight that was using flexinode can't be migrated to Drupal 5.

I think the issues are:

- flexinode hasn’t been (nor is it likely to be) ported to Drupal 5.

- there is a flexiconvert module to convert flexinodes to cck but it doesn’t handle “select lists” (or most other flexinode field types).

Just checking to see if i have this correct. Hopefully this will raise a few comments.

I have just upgraded 5.1 to 5.2. I followed the manual strictly, the site was put to offline mode before upgrading. After running upgrade.php, I tried to access admin page by:
http://www.mysite.com/?q=admin
But the result is the standard site offline message.
What can I do?

I am trying to convert over a hundred flexinode files into CCK files. The flexiconvert module is set up to do this, but I think the file transfer code was written with MySQL 5 in mind. I have mySQL 4.0.18. The image files and everything else is getting properly imported into CCK, so it should be doable for the files. Right now, the file nodes are created in CCK, but the actual files are not contained in the nodes. I'm getting errors in my SQL syntax that may illustrate an obvious fix for those who know the syntax.

I have successfully upgraded my drupal to 5.2. But just befor I do the upgrade, I turned off the site. So now I can't let it up. How can I deal with it? EG: modify the database?
Thank you.

Am I the only one who's having terrible problems upgrading an installation from Drupal 4.7.3 to Drupal 5.2 with the i18n module?

Without the third-party modules, everything is fine. However, at the moment I upgrade the i18n module, everything goes haywire. The menus entries are duplicated and not translated. The site slogan and mission in English are gone. (But intact in other languages.) The custom primary and secondary links in languages other than English will only appear when I go in the admin/build/menu page.

I tried to update from 4.7.4 to the latest 4.7.7, but got the error message

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare system_update_110() (previously declared in /mnt/web1/20/10/5126210/htdocs/soccer-wikki.net/database/updates.inc:5) in /mnt/web1/20/10/5126210/htdocs/soccer-wikki.net/modules/system.install on line 508

Luckily, this is just the test side ...

Please help ...
