Upgrading Drupal

Running:
On my test site I have a functioning D5.13 site that I am trying to bring up to D6.8.
This is all happening on Mac running MAMP: php5.2.6, mysql client api 5.0.41

I have read the read-me's and upgrading instructions; have upgraded versions successfully many times, and several other sites 5.x to 6.x. I'm sure I'm missing something however...

I just upgrading my existing site from 5.8 to 6.8. Followed all the instructions. I can see my site just fine now but cannot login. I get the login screen but when I enter my username/pwd, the screen just refreshes. This seems to be happening on anything where I submit with a button. If I go to the contact form and submit an email, the page just refreshes and doesn't do anything.

Any ideas what this problem is?

Thanks!

Hi,
I upgraded from drupal version 5.9 to the latest version of drupal 6.8 I have it in a test area and when I run the cron manually from the

administor -> Status report -> run cron manually

I see the following and do not know what it means or how to fix it. Everything seems to be working ok as far as I can tell so far.

user warning: Table 'fredr_drupal6.accesslog' doesn't exist query: DELETE FROM
accesslog WHERE timestamp < 1229786287 in /home/fredr/public_html/mydomain/d/modules/statistics/statistics.module

Hi, I’m going to upgrade from 5.7 to 5.14, and I’m getting some conflicting messages on the upgrade process. The upgrade.txt file says I need to “Disable contributed modules and switch to a core theme”, but the upgrade manual (http://drupal.org/upgrade/tutorial-introduction) doesn’t mention that I have to do this for a minor version upgrade.

So, my question is will 1)Backup Up, 2) Uploading new files, and 3) running update.php a valid upgrade strategy for the 5.7 to 5.14 migration?

first time to upgrade, just want to know there are any things i need to be very careful....

I decided to install drupal 6 after some testing, but when I try to upgrade my current site, in drupal 5 to 6.6 I got a lot of sql warnings. I continued, trying to finish the process and now I cant log in in any way. I just got the offline page and no more. Tried to install from scratch using the same database, but the process aborts and I get the same: no access to site.
Im using apache+linux with a postgresql server. Any idea about how to solve this or do I have to restore backups and go back to 5?
