Update Drupal - Files

Hi there!

I am a really noob in the matter of Drupal because I am working with it just a few days ago.

My Problem: I have to change a website (fixing bugs, create new text, ...) which is based on Drupal (version 5). A member of my work has created the website, but he'll not work for many months, so I get his job. I get a virtual maschine (Ubuntu) which had already the data and files of the site. The problem I now have is that the member in the end of his time here at work had worked on the website - and not on the VM. So the data and files of the VM were outdatet. The first problem I should have to fix to learn how Drupal works was to Update the VM with the data and files of the site which was already online. My Enterprise Applications gave me the data and files of the current site and I integrated the data in MySQL which was very easy. I changed the 'settings.php' file which I found on sites > Default with the connection of the database. Now the problem is that I can't update the files. I changed the name of the folder from "drupal5" to "drupal5_OLD". I copy the "new" files in the folder "drupal5" (which I created before) and tried to surf on the site. But it shows me only the main page (and this page is displayed wrong!) - if I click on a link, I get an error:

"Not Found

The requested URL /drupal5/de/partner was not found on this server.

Cant remove promoted "Gallery" because of edit error

Hi everyone

After upgrading 5 -> 6 I get an empty entry "Gallery" in my front page that, when I try to edit, gives:

warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'gallery_node_form' was given in /home/eocapgbo/public_html/cms/includes/form.inc on line 366.

The rest of the page is blank, meaning there is no "Delete" button for me to press. Seems like I'm stuck with having this thing promoted to the front page!

Upgrading from 5 to 6 issue with Views

I'm rather new to Drupal and Views...

I'm trying to update a custom view(I was able to update a few without issues) but I keep getting this error when trying to update:

Which directory to upload too before untar/unzip

Before I untar & unzip Drupal 6.13 (currently on 6.12) do I upload it to the document root of the drupal install or to a separate directory?

D5 to D6 upgrade causes really long queries causing page loads excess of 3 minutes for /forum page

I just recently upgrade my D5 community site to D6 (test setup). The /forum page loads times have increased dramatically (from 5 sec page load to +3 min). The problem only occurs for the main "/forum" page, inside pages load fine. From my research and chatting with fellow Drupalers I think there could be a few reasons why this is occurring.

One reason which people have pointed out is possibly due to n.type = 'forum' condition having been removed from the forum_get_forums() function. I introduced this condition again into the queries and the load time got reduced from 3 minutes for the /forum page to roughly about 25 seconds.

Now if I run the below query (from the function forum_get_forums()) on my D5 installation it would take .2 seconds, but if I run the same query on my fresh D6 upgraded db, it would take about 8 seconds. See below the explain when run for the D5 and D6 databases:
