Upgrading Drupal

I'm sure this has been posted before, so pointing me in the direction will be plenty help. Essentially, I'd like to create a new, fresh installation of Drupal 6 but retain all the submitted content from my existing site. So it's like an upgrade without using the official upgrade process. Also, my SQL management abilities are ranked as "beginner". Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm running Drupal 6.16. I updated cck to 2.17 and captcha to 2.2 based on a status update saying there were security upgrades.

I installed the modules and ran update.php, though they didn't claim to do anything. But now my calendar is all broken. When I go to the edit page to edit the calendar view, under Basic Settings I see "Style: Missing style plugin."

If I go to one of the other options, say "Calendar page", I get: Error: Display calendar_1 refers to a plugin named 'calendar', but that plugin doesn't exist!"

I've got problem with upgrading jQuery with jQuery Update module. Here: http://drupal.org/project/jquery_update and here: http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/jquery_update/... they say that I need to replace some core files with files from jquery_update/misc folder. But there is no folder jquery_update/misc in jQuery Update module.

Hello,

Can anybody point me to a PHP script that will apply a patch file to PHP files?

I was planning to create a simple PHP script to apply a patch to upgrade from 6.16 to 6.17. The idea is to just place the patch file and the PHP script at the root of the Drupal installation and run it and it should parse the patch file so it can update the files.

Thanks,
