Upgrading Drupal

how to transfer the content - blogs and users - from the old site Drupal-4.6 on the new Drupal-4.7 without loss?

Hi out there,

I just wanted to upgrade Drupal from 4.7RC2 or 4.7RC3 [I don't realy know :-(] to 4.7 stable....
But after removing all data und getting the new code, copying the settings.php back, upgrade.php doesn't work....
Also the login page and nothing else....
Everytime drupal says: can't connect to the database... But the settings are correct!!!!
Is there an idea of what is wrong?

according to the module page in 4.7,

It is important that update.php is run every time a module is updated to a newer version

having upgraded to 4.7 and now importing 4.7 modules which were previously present on the 4.6 installation : does this count as a module upgrade? should update.php be run each time a 4.7 module is added at this point? or is it referring to if the module is subsequently changed to say 4.7.1 because of an issue, bug fix etc.

if you do try to run update.php is says "

I upgraded to 4.7, and now clicking on the calendar archives yields a white screen, but no errors in watchdog.

I've searched through posts.....little help?

thanks.

Upgraded from 4.7 rc5 to 4.7 but all content doesn't show when logged out. The homepage shows the "create the first account" page but I'm able to login with the admin account and then the content displays. There were no errors after running the upgrade.php script. Any ideas?

I have been using the following short php script to redirect old page to new drupal page at 4.6:

include_once 'includes/bootstrap.inc';
include_once 'includes/common.inc';

fix_gpc_magic();

if ($_GET['story']) {
    $story = $_GET['story'];
    $nid = db_result(db_query("SELECT nid
                               FROM {drupal_redirect}
                               WHERE Rid = '%s'", $story));

    drupal_goto("node/$nid");
}

But after upgrading to 4.7, it shows the following error when trying to execute:
