Permission denied on all non-admin nodes for user 1

Hey all,

I'm working to upgrade several inherited Drupal 4.6 sites to Drupal 6. I know that all Drupal 4.6 sites ought be thrust into a deep basement on Alpha Centauri behind a "Beware of Leopard" sign, yet my task remains.

I've followed the upgrade path 4.6->4.7 and I'm now getting an "Access Denied" error on nodes, likely nodes created with Flexinode.

Hey all,

I'm working to upgrade several inherited Drupal 4.6 sites to Drupal 6. I know that all Drupal 4.6 sites ought be thrust into a deep basement on Alpha Centauri behind a "Beware of Leopard" sign, yet my task remains.

I've followed the upgrade path 4.6->4.7 and I'm now getting an "Access Denied" error on nodes, likely nodes created with Flexinode.

I've got a fresh 4.7 install that I'm comparing it to, but what tables might be messed up in my upgraded site? Should I forge ahead, upgrading all the modules, and ignore the problem, then straighten it out in 5 or 6?

I'm pasting my upgrade errors below, in case it's helpful.

Drupal database update

XML Sitemap module problems... doesn't seem to be working right.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I install the Sitemap.XML module which looks like it's working okay.... from inside the admin on Drupal. But I don't think it's working right.

When I looked that the XML sitemap file it creates in sites/default/file/sitemaps is not current. I've got about 45 pages on the site right now and it only shows 2 pages. In other web sites I've worked on there was a listing for each page created. When I add a page there's no change in this file.

I also setup accounts with Google, Yahoo, and Live (The MS site) as specified. And added that information into each appropriate area. But my site is still not coming up in any of these search engines.

Maybe I'm not being patient enough and I did something in the interum. I created another sitemap.xml file and placed it in the root folder. Then pointed Google and Yahoo to it. But the real PIA is that I have to redo it every time I want to add a page/image/story.... or whatever.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Or I'm being way too impatient. When I've launched other simple HTML/Java Script web sites they would show up in a matter of a day or two in these search engines. But they are there after I guess almost a week now. It may be a shorter time but it seems like it's not working.

upgrading from 5.1

I am nervous about upgrading. I run 5.1 and I would like someone to help me through the first upgrade so that I can do it next time. I have a background in computers and run a nonprofit organization. So far Drupal has been great and I have worked on it for two years. The upgrading process for the system scares me. Can anyone help and give me some advice? I read the information on line, and still don't feel right about doing it on my own. Thanks, Mindy

CPanel update to Drupal 6.10 (settings.php file back to FALSE)

OK found it sorry,

settings.php is in the "Sites" folder inside your drupal install
I must have been brainwashed
