Upgrade from 6.10 to 6.11 possibly causing 404 on all pages when using direct links

I recently upgraded a site to 6.11. Now after the upgrade, I cannot directly access any page on the website, all 404 errors, including the home page (set to node) and the admin page. However, I can use links in my favorites and even post a direct link on another page or forum and the page shows up without a problem. I have another site on the same server (older version) that I tried accessing directly with no problems.

help upgrading from 6.10 to 6.11, preserving stuff

Does anyone have any idea on how to help me upgrade from drupal 6.10 to 6.11? I downloaded 6.11 and put it on my server, but I need help on how to migrate over so that I still keep all my settings and look and modules and everything and put them on 6.11. I don't even really want my visitors to notice that I've changed it (except for when I'm in maintnence mode). All help would be appriciated. The help guide on this site for upgrading isn't really helping me for preserving my settings and stuff.

Need to replace .htaccess/robots.txt in upgrade?

Hi,

I have upgraded drupal sites many times successfully and have just upgraded a site from 6.10 to 6.11. All has gone well, however I have the white screen of death on my admin page. Presuming this was a php memory problem, as I am running many different modules, I upped the limit to 32m then 80m but no change.

Inherited a drupal site from new client. Trying to upgrade, get fatal error

Background: Hello, I just inherited a site from a new client. Clients site was using version 5.7. They want their site updated to the latest version of Drupal. I read in the documentation that I should update to the most recent version of 5 (5.17) before upgrading to 6. So I began the updating procedures following the instructions step by step in the Upgrade.txt document.

Here's what I did:
1. Backed up all the files
2. took the site off-line
3. disabled the contributed modules. Clicked on "Save Configuration" and got my first fatal error. I had not yet switched to a core theme. I then removed my custom theme from the server via FTP. Luckily, the error went away and I was then able to switch to a core theme.

I continued with the upgrade.

4. Removed all the old files.
5. Uploaded the new Drupal files.
6. Replaced the "file" and "sites" directories with the backup ones.
7. re-installed the contributed modules.
8. Ran update.php
9. Turned all my modules back on.

Everything seemed to work.

All my data is being pulled from the database. I went to Logs/Available Updates/List and saw that the newer version (5.17) had in-fact been installed.

I then uploaded my custom theme and activated it. This is when everything went south.

404 Not Found

Hi all,

I just downloaded and installed the Drupal version 6.10

After updating to version 6.11 (following instructions on http://drupal.org/node/390448), I´m getting the following message:

"Not Found

The requested URL /Program Files/BitNami Drupal 6 Stack/apps/drupal/htdocs/index.php was not found on this server."

It happens when I try to access any page, except the home (http://localhost/drupal)

Mail coming from wrong address after D6 upgrade

I've upgraded a nicely-working D5 site to D6.11. Pretty much everything seems good, except that mail, which used to come from "website@example.com" now comes from "apache@webhost.com"

Obviously, that's not the desired result. I have carefully checked the site information page, and the desired mail (hosted on gmail) is there.

This is a D6 installation on Redhat, with PHP 5.1.6.
