Upgrading Drupal

Have made a big mess of a drupal site trying to upgrade from 6.19 to 6.20 with this light upgrade (http://drupal.org/node/999744).

I made a back up of the drupal files by copying the drupal directory and exported the database in cPanelX.

I've been able to successfully upgrade some of my sites to D7, but this one very small site is giving me a headache.

Running update.php, I get:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: http://www.fourtiresandfuel.com/update.php?id=16&op=do StatusText: Service unavailable (with message) ResponseText: Recoverable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to SelectQuery::fields() must be an array, null given, called in /home/hoslot5/public_html/includes/entity.inc on line 284 and defined in SelectQuery->fields() (line 1262 of /home/hoslot5/public_html/includes/database/select.inc).

Followed by:

• Notice: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Unable to find the wrapper "public" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in file_scan_directory() (line 1975 of /home/hoslot5/public_html/includes/file.inc).
• Notice: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Unable to find the wrapper "public" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in file_scan_directory() (line 1975 of /home/hoslot5/public_html/includes/file.inc).

The one time I updated a module, it seemed to download the module, and then it failed because it needed FTP access to the server.

As far as I know, the Drupal code to download a module is running on the site, which means on the server, and so the downloaded module is already somewhere on the server. Why do we need FTP access to get from the server to the server itself?

Hi,

I am currently developing a Drupal site from scratch. However, I need to import several thousand story type nodes from a Drupal 5 site into my new site. Any recommendations as to how this might be done? I've tried a couple of modules that are apparently intended to achieve this very goal with rather limited success.

Thank you for your help.

After upgrading my drupal site from 5.x to 6.20 the navigation menu seems to have a number of duplicate entries. For example, there are two administration links and two logout links. While I can deactivate the menu items, I can not delete. I have cleared the cache a number of times.

Any ideas?

I am in desperate need of help, if there was a way to totally mess up the upgrading process I believe I have found it.

I currently had the website on Drupal 6 attempted to follow the instructions to update to Drupal 7, didnt know what all the core files consisted of. I installed Drupal 7 and then copied all files over to where Drupal 6 files were ... and then the website went blank.
