New installation Drupal 6 instead of upgrade

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade from Drupal 5.20 to 6.14 (already upgraded from a previous 5.x version to 5.20). After I've copied all Drupal 6 files to the right directory, and I'm navigating to my website to login (/?q=user), it's starting a whole new installation of Drupal (/install.php?profile=default), instead of an upgrade. Also when I'm navigating to /upgrade.php, the new installation starts.

Can somebody help me how to fix this? To be sure I didn't loose everything, I've just put everything back to version 5.20, but of course eventually I want to upgrade to 6 :-p.

Yay. I killed my site.

After much searching I still can't get my site back.

I was upgrading from 6.13 to 6.14 and I accidentally had the 6.14 folder in my site/modules folder when I ran update.php. This added all kinds of 'drupal-6.14/modules/' to my database. I'm assuming this was my problem.

Here's the original error message I received when I tried to update:

Drupal Install from Hell

What I'm dealing with is what could be best described as a botched CMS install. I can't think of any other way to say it. We've basically got a nightmare, but we are stuck with it for awhile (and management is starting to freak a bit). Not only are things disorganized, but we also have random errors that pop up.

One more views 2 issue I'm stumped on

I have a view that has two fields in it. One of the fields is the path to an image. When I run the Live Preview in the view's admin section it spits out the image path correctly:

Nid: 39
Image: sites/default/files/brand/brand_pepsi.gif
Nid: 25
Image: sites/default/files/brand/brand_dunkin.gif

When I try to render the view on the site, the nid appears correctly, but the filepath does not. I know I could load the noad
based on the nid, but would like to avoid doing that if I can. Here's the code:

Upgrading from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 Views - Argument Question

Hi,

The drupal 5 version of our website has a view that I believe pulls only promoted items if the "promoted to front page" argument is
passed to it, otherwise it pulls all values:

Drupal 5: Argument Type = Node:FrontPage Default: Display All Values
