PHP upgrade on server has broken scripts, please help?

Hi There,

A client of mine has contacted me to say that his website is showing this error

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/inquirel/public_html/themes/inquirenew/node.tpl.php on line 35

I have never used this software before but his old developer is not available to help. I dont know what version it is either but I think its quite old. The link to the website is http://www.inquirelive.co.uk/

Why someone deleted projects?

Some projects began to disappear from drupal.org (eg pin, youtube_filter ...). Why?
I see a link Releases (http://drupal.org/node/194146) but I do not see the page. : (
I think it's a bad idea to have many broken links ...

Upgrade from 5.15 to 6.9 makes cron white screen

Hello Drupal Community! I'm in need of some advise.
I've just finished upgrading my school district's four Drupal sites from version 5.15 to 6.9. All went well for the most part. But one of the sites "white screens" when trying to run cron.php and does not complete the cron process. The resulting error in the log is:

warning: require_once(./main.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/home/includes/common.inc(1648) : eval()'d code on line 32.

Setting Up Locally - Links from homepage return to "404 The requested URL /xxx was not found on this server.'

OK, I need to upgrade to Drupal 6.0 but need to set up my localhost testsite first of all to be a copy of the live site.

I have managed to set up everything correctly and install the db etc. The homepage comes up perfectly, however, if i click on any of the links they bring up "404 The requested URL /xxx was not found on this server.' This is when the base url is set as : $base_url = 'http://localhost';

If I change the base url to be $base_url = 'http://localhost/drupal'; then all of the links go back to the wamp localhost page.

Can someone please help me as this is driving me mad. I know it is something small but dont know what i need to do to fix it.

The steps i took to set the site up were as follows:

Step 1 – Set up site locally
Currently using drupal 5.1
Downloaded 5.15 to desktop
Installed wamp server

Copied the drupal folder to c:/wamp/www/ and renamed it to ‘drupal’

Went to phpmyadmin and created a database called ‘drupal’

Went to privileges and created a new user:
• User name: xxxx
• Host: Local
• Password: xxxx
• No global privileges
Went to http://localhost/drupal and managed to access the drupal site on localhost : http://localhost/drupal/

Step 2 – Import Database

Went to phpmyadmin and imported the latest cut of the database

Step 3 – Copy files

How do you change the database password and still have the site working

I have updated my site to 6.9 and everything works fine; however I did have problems and along the way and I reset the database password to a simple (not that secure one) when doing the update. This is now the database password and I'd like to change it to something better(more secure) I did this and changed the settings.php file to the new password but I'm locked out. I changed it all back and it works fine. So back to the original question---How do you change the database password and still have the site working???
