After I upgraded to 5.1, everything seemed fine. But when I go to edit or post content, the "Input format", "File attachments", "comment settings", "menu settings", "Authoring settings", and "Publishing Settings" are not active links anymore. They are just plain text. Therefore I cannot access them. I don't know exactly how to resolve this issue...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I want to upgrade Drupal 4.7.6 to Drupal 5.1. Ok I do this.. Now I have Drupal 5.1, but exist a problem. When I want to activate the "poll" module I get the following error:
* user warning: Table 'poll' already exists query: CREATE TABLE poll ( nid int unsigned NOT NULL default '0', runtime int NOT NULL default '0', active int unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (nid) ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 */ in D:\Wamp\www\drupal\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 172.
* user warning: Table 'poll_votes' already exists query: CREATE TABLE poll_votes ( nid int unsigned NOT NULL, uid int unsigned NOT NULL default 0, chorder int NOT NULL default -1, hostname varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', INDEX (nid), INDEX (uid), INDEX (hostname) ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 */ in D:\Wamp\www\drupal\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 172.

I'm starting to really regret that I tried to upgrade from 4.7 to 5.1.
Here's the story. I use afmu as a server host. The website I had several months ago was created for an organization (kanesrifleregt.com) which went under...and no longer exists. So I contacted my server host and asked them to swap that old domain name with a new one (pareserves.com)...I wanted to keep the same account...but just use a different domain name. I wanted to keep the same drupal I was using from the old site to the new one.
The my tech support guy got rid of the old domain name (kanesrifleregt.com) and I got a new one (pareserves.com). Meanwhile, I'm keeping the same drupal I've been using for a year nearly. Recently I happened to notice when I went into "Fantastico" that there was an upgrade (5.1) available for drupal....I was using an old outdated version...so I decided to do this upgrade.
I made copies of my themes directory, modules and misc directories. Then, I logged into my admin for drupal and took my site "off-line for maintenance"...following this, I ran the upgrade....
I am not a computer person but a fearless wannabe and found myself in a bind about a week ago. Stuck, frustrated, and hopeless, I sent out a plea for help on this forum and Nancyw came through in a flash. I've been reading the forum and handbooks for months and have found the folks of Drupal inspired and inspiring because it appears all are seeking knowledge and a better way.
My small business cannot afford to have its website down.
Is it save up upgrade direct from 4.7.3 to 4.7.6?
Are there any special issues?
My Last upgrade was a nightmare thats why I've held off for a few releases.
