Upgrading Drupal

help me, I've upgraded drupal from version 5 to 6? whether this can cause crashes apache?

I configured Drupal on a server where I installed the files in /drupal. I migrated to the live server, and on the live server the files are all located in /.

Is there an easy way to do a mass update? None of the images are showing up because they're all in the wrong place according to Drupal. Thanks!!

OK, so I upgraded last night, a multisite install of 6.16 to 6.17...all sites seem to have gone well, except for one (ironically my main site!)...now anonymous users get an access denied error on the front page, but can see any other page...I have rebuilt permissions, checked user permissions, content access is applied for anonymous...

I'm stumped...any help?

I am preparing a site to upgrade from 5.22 to 6.17 and running a test on a copy.

I have made a duplicate database and copied the site files to "SANDPIT/DRUPAL6_TEST" directory below the root of "public_html". I have updated "sites/default/settings" in the copied directory with the database user,password, name and the base_url.

The site comes up fine at "index.php" but if I click on any link it returns "Page Not Found".

Have I missed a step ?

I'm currently in the process of attempting to upgrade a clearly neglected Drupal installation in preparation to move to D6 and eventually D7. Unfortunately, any attempts to access update.php have resulted in a WSOD.

So far, I've tried everything I could come up with around the forums EXCEPT disabling all contributed modules, because most people seem to think that that shouldn't be an issue. I did attempt to update after disabling Secure Pages, as it's known to not always cooperate, but there don't appear to be any modules that should otherwise interfere.

I just upgraded from 6.16 to 6.17 (my first drupal upgrade) it went smoothly enough.

I followed the instructions in UPGRADE.txt and when I created the files directory Drupal couldnt write to it.
So I had to delete it and get Drupal to create in 'Site Configuration -> File System'.
That's fine, the directory exists but now when I try to upload my backed up files into it, I get a permissions error.

Files is owned by apache, with 775. I'm not really sure what to do. It's shared hosting.

Any suggestions please?
