How to downgrade from Drupal 6.9 to 6.8

After I updated from Drupal 6.8 to 6.9 (together with cck), my two sites are not accessible. I tried to replace 6.8 to 6.9, but the sites still are blank.

Can anyone instruct me how to downgrade? Do I need to change some data table?

After Upgrading fom 6.8 to 6.9, I lost the "Category" option in "Create Blog" entry but it's there in "Create Story"

Hi there,

I just upgraded from 6.8 to 6.9 and the upgrade went super smooth. However now when I go to "Create Blog" entry, the option to put the blog entry in a category isn't there any more. When I create "New Story", the option is there and I can place the story in the available categories. With 6.8, I had this option for both "New Blog Entry" and "New Story Entry". Any ideas what might have happened?

Cheers,

Need to upgrade from Drupal 4.6

I have a client who needs to upgrade a Drupal 4.6 site.

I am under the impression I need to upgrade to each major version all the way to Drupal 6, meaning Drupal 4.7.11, Drupal 5.15, Drupal 6.

Where can I download Drupal 4.7.11?

Module for creating test site from live one

When I upgrade Drupal core or modules, I want to create an identical test site from my live site, where I upgrade modules and stuff before putting it live. I have som drupal installations at a hosting company that runs true unix servers. There I can use WinSCP, connect via SFTP and issue the command "duplicate". All the files and folders thus duplicated have their original owners (apache and "me") preserved.

List of Files Changed in Drupal Upgrades to 5.15 and 6.9

Here's a list of files changed by the latest Drupal upgrades. We use this so we don't have to replace the entire Drupal installation, as usually only a few specific files have actually changed.

Files Changed by Drupal Upgrades - simply select the list pertaining to your Drupal installation.

Upgrade from Drupal 5.12 to 6.8 breaks php blocks

When I upgraded to Drupal 6.8, all of my blocks/pages that used the PHP Filter stopped working. So now instead of nice output, the top of one of my pages has this:

global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
drupal_set_title('Let\'s Get Started!');
?>

Just like that too. I have verified that the php filter is still selected and I have even tried to reformat the php, but no luck. This is broken on all of my blocks and pages and anywhere that uses the php filter. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
