Upgrading Drupal

Drupal 6.2 was recently upgraded to 6.3 using Fantastico. I am now receiving the following status report:

Access to update.php Not protected
The update.php script is accessible to everyone without authentication check, which is a security risk. You must change the $update_free_access value in your settings.php back to FALSE

My question is where would I find this script? I have been unable to do so.

This may be a dumb question, and I apologize if it is. I'm new to Drupal and am still figuring out the basics. I'm currently using the calendar module on my site, and I noticed today that a new version has been posted. I would like to upgrade from the rc3 version to the newly posted rc4 version. What are the steps I need to take to do this? Do I need to disable the module? Do I need to delete the old version or can I simply overwrite the files? If someone could take a minute and explain things to me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

first of all, plz excuse me for my bad english. I'm trying to be the more understandable than i can.

I need your help. That's the situation :

I have a Drupal 5.x site with some modules (as CCK + fielgroup tabs). I'm upgrading to last Drupal version (6.3). I read the handbook and everything is ok ! everything except one point.

I just upgraded from Drupal 5.7 to 5.9 (very painful). A unwelcome side-effect was that uncategorized nodes (I use Taxonomy Access Control, with all permissions open on uncategorized nodes) contain no "envelope" information (Author, Date, etc.). I tried rebuilding the permissions, to no effect.

I had just installed Drupal v6.2 into my domain hosted by godaddy.com. The first thing to see when I logged in (through the Drupal home page at my domain's URL) was the security alert advising me to upgrade to Drupal v6.3.
I studied the documentation, backed up and restored my database, and attempted to run upgrade.php; I now have a Drupal home page with the following message displayed:

Site off-line

The site is currently not available due to technical problems.
Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

If you are the maintainer of this site, please check your database
settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting
provider's database server is running. For more help, see the
handbook, or contact your hosting provider.

The mysqli error was: Access denied for user
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'@'6x.xxx.2xx.85' (using password: YES).

I didn't attempt to use "YES" as my password. Following the troubleshooting FAQs and some forum posts, I have attempted to edit settings.php, but my changes cannot be saved for some reason; however, changes to
default/settings.php can be saved.(?)

Hello -- I'm not sure if this is an actual upgrade problem, but it's during an attempted upgrade (from 6.2 >>6.3) that I discovered the problem.
