Upgrading Drupal

This might not be the perfect spot for this, but it was the closest. At the moment it's a PHP upgrade(part of a server upgrade) that will be followed by upgrading Drupal and it's modules. I'll be starting with bringing the current install of Drupal 5.5 current with 5.9 - The upgrade to Drupal 6 will be in a few weeks.

The Short Version:

It worked under PHP4 and after my upgrade to PHP5.1.? but fails(Using MarsEdit) now that I upgraded further to PHP5.2.6 I use MarsEdit to create most of my blog posts on the site. A normal post via web browser works. The error msg is

The 5.9 security release yesterday protects against session fixation attacks. The announcement links to the wiki.

Here is a really good (I think better) explanation of session fixation attacks.

Hi all, I'm a Drupal newbie trying to teach myself how to run the system in preparation for some projects I'll be working on in the future.

I have a local installation of Drupal on my MacBook running under MAMP. Last night, I tried to upgrade from version 6 to version 6.3. I read the instructions in the update file, and thought I was doing everything just fine. When I ran upgrade.php, the system didn't report any errors. However, when I went to administer the site, none of the themes would show, and I saw the following errors at the top of my page:

I just upgraded to version 5.9 from 5.8 and got the following error when I logged into my site at mysite.com

Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_access() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/sites/all/modules/devel/devel.module on line 243

I get these errors in IE6, FF and Safari. Sometime the error is intermittent. I can login in as Super user though.

I tried disabling the devel module, but then the same error occurred with the global redirect module. Where should I start to look. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi, I just upgraded from 5.x to 6.3 and now I cannot access the site or the admin section. Just keeps saying 'access denied'

I think it might be because I forgot to turn off the frontpage module before I started the upgrade!

But not sure... is there some backdoor that enables me to access the admin panel again? It doesn't even show a login page, just says Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.
