Upgrading Drupal

Upgrading from 4.6 to 4.7 beta 3 all proceeded ok, but admin user's data is not updated.

When I inspect the admin user's page it shows the word 'Array' by itself intead of the data for the user's History entry.

When I inspect the database table I can see that there are data fields obviously missing from the admin user.

I recently upgraded Langemarks Cafe to 4.6.5
I have been very satisfied.
Now it seems I have a database problem at hand.
Last night my site went dead.
This morning I was able to access it. I also took a look at the database.
It was a little f..... up.
I had to drop the sessions table and restore a "new" one.
I also had to empty the cache.
But the node counter table was "busy" as well (that's what PhpMyAdmin calls it).
I can't do anything with it.
It is - i think - quite important data - as opposed to the sessions and the cache.

I finished an upgrade 4.6.4 to 4.7 on a test site at:
http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal47/admin

the one problem I see is that the 4.7 site is pointing to nodes in the old 4.6.4 site at http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal.

I've renamed the 4.7 mysql database to drupal47 and stated this in settings.php
is this right that the new site should point to nodes in the 4.6.4 mysql database?

anyone?

thanks!

are there any issues with upgrading from 4.6.4 to 4.7?
will the upgrade include the same procedures at http://drupal.org/upgrade/tutorial-introduction?

anyone?

thanks.

I was running Drupal 4.7.0 beta2, but decided I wanted to try using 4.6.5 (mainly to try some modules that wouldn't work with 4.7). I was using Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL 5. However Drupal 4.6 was playing buggery with PHP 5 so i installed PHP 4. I basicly just reinstalled PHP and now when i try to go to my site, i get this:

Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

does anyone know how to fix this? without reinstalling MySQL?
i'm a little lost at the moment and I'm new to this.

Help please?

My site is currently running Drupal 4.5.7. I would like to upgrade it to 4.6.5. The only problem is that the upgrade.php files don't go up to 4.5.7. What do I need to change in my database?
