Upgrading Drupal

Everything appears to go great after the upgrade to 6.4. I can bebop around the newly updated site and do anything I want until I logout. Once I hit "logout" I get an html error screen and can never return to the site. I get a 500 error "This website is under maintenance or the website has a programming error". I have put the old htaccess file back in and still doesnt work. If I do http://test.mysite.com/?q=admin I get 403 error This site is forbidden. The website requires you to login.

I upgraded to new fedora core on my virtual dedicated. Did a full backup, then restored onto new server. Right away I started getting errors. Here they are. How to I fix this without running Truncate and wiping out all my data in each table.

Yesterday I upgraded from 5.7 to 6.4 and all seemed to go well. I had turned off the only extra module (ThemeSettingsAPI) and set theme to BlueMarine instead of Zen. I deleted everything from my public tree except for non-Drupal directories (I have several subdirs that contain content from a pre-Drupal site, not yet migrated into Drupal). I even deleted a directory 'drupal-5.7' which I was a little worried about, since it was empty and had no idea of its purpose.

I then copied the new 6.4 tree into place. The upgrade reported lots of info about the database, but nothing that looked like a warning. Afterwards there were 2 warnings in the status report -- needed to turn on update notifications (no surprise) and couldn't write to 'files' dir (no surprise, chmod 777, fixed).

One thing that worried me was that although it told me it had successfully detected my old version and would upgrade, it DIDN'T SAY WHAT THE OLD VERSION WAS. How do I know it really had successfully detected the old version? I feel an improvement is needed here -- I'm new to this site, so I hope someone can propose that.

The front page still has my previous recent articles, but the navigation menu has reverted. It now contains only the link to my contact page (unless I'm logged in as admin, in which case there's also all the standard admin stuff).

How to implement multi step registration form in drupal.
I have tried it with drupal's multi step form api but it not working when I tried to using hook_form_alter for user_register form.

Otherwise I have to create a totally different code for registration.

Is any one implement it. Please help me if any one did it.

Thanks,

Hi all,

upgrade tutorial (http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/drupal-tutorial/drupal_upgrade.htm) is outdated and also is different enough from 14 steps described in D6.4's UPGRADE.txt.

I've been running Drupal for years, and have worked thru most problems I've found. I did an update from 6.3 to 6.4, and now my home page (http://lcyc.info) doesn't load (404 page not found), but I can go http://lcyc.info/node and everything is there, all all clean url links work. I've tried various settings in my .htaccess and settings.php files, but I still can't get the home page to load normally. If I turn off clean URLs, none of the pages work.
