Upgrading Drupal

I've got a 4.7 Drupal installation hosted with a crap web host, no shell access and in postgres 'cos they don't hand out the required mysql permissions.

I'm moving to a half decent host, with mysql and shell access (I use them for another Drupal installation, so I know they are OK)

I'm considering which upgrade option is better.

hi, all.
i'm a newbie to come here for your help.
i have a website which runs drupal 4.6.5 ( :LOL:, i know this is too old...), now i've to upgrade it to the lastest version for the secondary development based on it.
but i was wondering about version number. so, when i tried to upgrade to the latest version(5.x/6.x), it crashed, then i recovered it and tried again with it upgrade to 4.6.11, it's works perfectly even i modified some core files.

Hello,

I have a site on Drupal 5.0 by now I want to upgrade it to latest Drupal (6.3). I am following the upgrade instructions carefully but I have various errors like

-------------
user warning: Table 'drupal_63.menu_router' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM menu_router WHERE path IN ('frontpage') ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /var/www/html/test_63/includes/menu.inc on line 315.
-------------

at the "Overview" step

or

I'm trying to move servers & upgrade my 5.x (not sure which version) to 6.3, including all the modules. The only 2 modules giving me problems are audio & image. I've seen from the issues pages on both that there seems to be a problem with fid in the files table disappearing before those modules get to use it. Since I still have my old 5.x install on the old server, recovering the old database is not a problem.

I've done an incremental upgrade from 5.1 to 5.9 and now the postings which had images on them no longer show up! File system recognizes the 'files' directory that is there but no images are showing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I have a 5.7 setup on one domain and I have readied a beautifully clean install of 6.3 on a totally different domain/server.

Is it possible to import the DATA content only from 5.7 to 6.3? I really don't wish to import the whole 5.7/5.8 setup as I have the new site set up with different modules. If this is possible what would be the best way?

NB. I did try to to do this from 4.7 > 5 and ended up copying and pasting everything, the site is slightly bigger this time and I would rather not do it this way.

Ideas please? Thanks in advance :)
