Upgrading Drupal

Hi all,

I upgraded my drupal from an earlier version of 4.7 to the current 4.7 version. All seemed to go ok. After following the upgrade instructions and copying over the modules I had uploaded previously I could log in and click around ok. The only error I noticed was that the "recent blogs" menu block was not showing.

I logged in as admin and noticed a lot of these errors in the admin logs

"Message mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in /var/www/web1/web/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 102."

I shifted hosting companies recently and my new host runs MySQL 5.0.27-standard-log whereas my old host runs 4.1.21-standard-log.

Can I take the old db and just put it into the drupal sites on the new host (drupal version 5.0) without running into any difficulties?

Thanks,
Venkat

Upgraded site from Drupal 4.7.4 to 5.1 ... and post-upgrade all content from roughly the past 8 months that anonymous visitors and registered users could see before the upgrade is no longer visible to them. Admin user still sees everything.

Tried using Admin > Content management > Post settings > Node access status ... but that throws a HTTP 500 error before accomplishing whatever it's supposed to do.

I'm trying to upgrade from 4.7.4 to 5.1 and find that some contributed modules uploaded to the sites/all/modules folder on the upgraded site do not appear on the admin/build/modules list, while others do.

For example Event Views does appear, but Event does not, even though they both live in the sites/all/modules/event folder.

I added about 25 folders with contributed modules to the sites/all/modules folder in a single batch, and am wondering if that exceeded some Drupal limit for handling module additions.

I am a fan of drupal over last few years :-)

I Recently upgraded to 5.1 from 4.7 and the site performance has gone downhill to the extent that hosting provider took it offline on account of the wider effect on this shared machine.

The immediate cause of the problem is trackback spam. The httpd log file regularly records up to 10 minutes at a time continuous 1 post per second of the following format:-

I currently have a 4.7 site using the Advanced User module. The only functionality of the module that I really find a "must have" relatively speaking is the feature where it emails me whenever I have a new user or a user updates their profile. My site gets very few new users per month so this helps me alot.

I notice Advanced User isn't available for 5.0. Does anyone know of another module (or maybe it's in core now) that would send an email whenever a new user account is created or a user account is modified? This would get me through till Advanced Users is updated.
