Upgrading Drupal

Hello,

I am getting the following message in the logs to one site:

preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Unknown modifier '.' in /home/drupal5/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.module on line 294.

What is strange is that there is another site in this multisite environment which shows no indication of the same problem, but it also has FCKEditor enabled. I suppose this means that the problem lies elsewhere.

I've upgraded one of my sites from 4.7 to 5.0. The site has a gallery of about 200 pictures. Now when viewing the gallery only the name of the file shows. Thumbnails and full images don't appear. The files are still there. Where do I begin to look to solve this problem? Thanks!

I have just upgraded my site, which has a lot of texts that use footnotes. These were generated by a little module I wrote to overcome the problem of always getting switched into the home page when I clicked on the note reference (this used to happen in 4.6). Here is what a footnote reference looks like in my site:

<a href="ir/127/hungary-1956#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a>

and here is the link back up again

<a href="ir/127/hungary-1956#_ftnref6" name="_ftn6">[6]</a>

In order to convert my site without having to close down the live site while I upgraded in situ, I backed up the database, made a copy of the 4.6 installation in another directory (another URL therefore) logged in, replaced the 4.6 with the 4.7 version, and did the upgrade. When everything worked, I moved the 4.7 code into where the 4.6 code used to be, and there was my site back where it should be, but this time using 4.7.
Somewhere along the road, all my footnote references got converted so that now they look like this:

<a href="/470/ir/127/hungary-1956#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>

and here is the switch back up

<a href="/470/ir/127/hungary-1956#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a>

I've got an odd problem. I'm updating from an old 4.5.8 installation to 5.0 and many posts that included "curly quotes" and other non-standard characters are coming out with garbage in the new displays. I know I solved this same problem in 4.5.8 but for the life of me, I can't remember what I did! This involves almost 3000 posts, some of them in excess of 64k words, so it is a large problem.

Any help out there?

Thanks,
Erin

Hi!

I'm just testing the upgrade of one of my sites from 4.7 to 5.0. I'm testing this on my local computer.

Everything else went fine except for one thing. Access is denied for all the anonymous users for all the content. No errors in the update.php. I haven't installed any of the optional modules yet that I have on this site.

Any ideas where to start looking for the answer?

Hi, I have a site that is currently on 4.7.2 and saw that 5.0 is available. I wanted to know if the upgrade process is straightforward? I know my question has probably been answered in the other posts but I cannot find a simple for someone who hasn't done this yet. I want to minimize as much problems as possible. I have a current back up of my sql db and files. Any help would be appreciated.
