Upgrading Drupal

Hi,

I have created a drupal-based intranet site on a temporary web server. I already have a few users and some valuable content. Now I'd like to migrate the site to a production server. The issue is, for some reasons I'll need to have slightly different configuration, then on a test site. I'll drop some modules, which proved to be unnecessary, I'll have a bit different directory structure etc. For these reasons, I'll not be able to make a 100% copy of directories and database.

My host can do a PHP4/MySQL4 to PHP5/MySQL5 upgrade of my site. Will my Drupal 5.1 site run as-is after that or are there adjustments that will be needed to any of the configuration? Seems like a good move with the recent announcements about the future of Drupal.

Hi everybody!
I am from Spain and I am new in Drupal but I really like it so far. I have an issue for you. In my site (www.blogs-exchange.com) new users can creat new accounts but they got next message.

Recently we upgraded our test website from 4.7 to 5.1 .
After upgrading we selected our custom developed theme .
Primary Links appears as "array array array" instead of actual values in custom theme.
If we select any core themes it shows actual values.
This happens with a contributed theme downloaded from Drupal.org also.
How we solve this problem?

Hi all,

I've upgraded from 4.7.? to 5.0, on the way to 5.1. When testing out the 5.0 setup, some of the files in the "files" directory are no longer being served. I have some nodes that (try to) display some images that were previously uploaded.

Here's the code in the node body. Only Image #1 is displayed. Image #1 was uploaded as a test AFTER the 5.0 upgrade. It resides in the file system in the same directory as #4, which was copied using the OS (Win2k). Image #2 and 3 are in a subdir under that dir.

Images #2-#4 don't show up, but they ARE there in the file system.

Image #1
<img src="/adsdrupal/?q=system/files/interim+logo.jpg">
<hr>
Image #2
<img src="/adsdrupal/?q=system/files/images/snap_00414.png">
<hr>
Image #3
<img src="/adsdrupal/?q=system/files/images/billingproc-image019.jpg">
<hr>
Image #4
<img src="/adsdrupal/?q=system/files/billingproc-image019.jpg">

As I mentioned, only image #1 is displayed. Image #1 is an attachment to the node. The others are files that exist there, but they don't display.

The download method is set to Private. Changing it to public didn't help (for the URLs shown above).

The file system path is "files", and the files directory exists under the drupal root.

Win2K is set to allow public access, and the .htaccess for the files dir was created by Drupal, I believe.

I have transferred a site from one server to another - basically using a new domain name.

All the content is there on the new site but every link on the page points to a double URL e.g.

http://newdomain.com/newdomain.com/page

This gives an error message Page Not Found

The themes are not picked up either

I think this is a database problem - does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong.

Hope someone can come to my rescue and cast some light on this

Many thanks Drupal Guys
