Upgrading Drupal

Please, I need some support on understanding what's going wrong on my attempt to build a copy of my site. look here please.

Hi everyone.
I have been trying to make a local copy of my site following this procedure: but without any success. I keep on getting this warnings once I point the browser to the site:

Hi all,

I have set up Drupal on my local machine and I got two questions..

1) How do I know whether the version of Drupal I'm using has been upgraded? I was using version 4.7.3 and supposedly upgraded to 4.7.4 but I dont see any difference, is there a way to check version number within the Drupal admin panel?

2) I tried to upgrade to version 5.0 after that but all I got was a blank white screen. I think I dont know how to upgrade to this version...can someone tell me how?

Hi everyone.
Has anybody tried yet to take an old site from Drupal 4.x to Drupal 5? Before I make a mess I was wondering if someone with better knowledge then me had some useful hints...

I have two Drupal web sites on Fantastico, and upgraded from v4.72 and 4.73 to 4.74. I didn't heed the warning about added modules and themes, but everything seems to have worked fine after I restored those. See my posting (3rd one down at http://netenberg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4876 ).

I have read a couple of older posts on the subject, mainly relating to when 4.7 first came out. However as 4.6 seems to have considerably gained in version number since a number of the posts and also 4.7 I thought it was best to check on the current reccomended route before I break the site in trying. :)

The site is running the newest 4.5 version which I think it ended on 4.5.7? and obviously want to upgrade it to 4.7.4. What it the best upgrade route, would it be straight to 4.6.10 and then 4.7.4? Or would it be 4.6.0 to 4.7.4?
