Upgrading Drupal

I am a person who knows very little about computers. Nevertheless, I have a website that I would like to use to run banner ads. Can someone please tell me, in English, how I can download a module (and which module) to allow me to do that. Thank you so much in advance.

Hi everyone,

Newbie here !!! I put my drupal site in maintence mode and attempted to replace modules that had newer versions. It was causing problems and I worked on copying the versions of several modules. The site wasn't coming up properly ( blank screen) so I flushed my cache/cookies etc. Now my sites simply says that it's in maintenance mode? Oops !! now I can't go back in as the administrator

My big question is how can I login to change the "off-line mode status" ?

Help pls..

Thanks

Norman

I am using Audio module with CCK Audio field. As i understand the alternative in Drupal 6 is the Filefield module. This requires PHP 5.2. My host provides PHP 5.1.x and i believe a lot of people have the same problem. I've used the Audio module for over a year and it suits my needs for streaming and dowloading perfectly. Is there alternatives or am i stuck with Drupal 5.x?

This is the error message:
An error occurred. http://azpcdoc.com/update.php?id=3&op=do { "status": true, "percentage": 100, "message": "Remaining 0 of 0.\x3cbr/\x3e\x26nbsp" }

Goal: upgrade from 4.7.3 to 6.x

In preparation for the upgrade, I decided to make a development copy on my local machine.

I copied my public site to a local vmware server (ubuntu server 8.10 running under VMware). After some debugging of my apache2 setup, it's basically working. I can login as user ID=1 (admin) or my normal user account, and that succeeds. I see the username on the left sidebar. All the site content looks good as far as I can tell. In other words, much of the locally duplicated site appears to be operational.

However, whenever I use any link to navigate somewhere, say, forums, I am immediately logged out, though Drupal actually goes to the requested page (assuming anonymous has access to it.)

Net result: I can't do any administration functions. For example, I log in as drupal admin, and select "administer" in the menu. I get "Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page." But...

Now it gets interesting. So if I login again as admin, I get the admin home page displayed, but again, any click to go anywhere else results in moving to that page but losing the login status. That is, it logs out the user immediately.

I've been struggling with this issue for a few days now, and I'm out of ideas.

Of course, my original (public) site still works.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Much appreciate any input.
