Upgrading Drupal

I am looking into developing a site that will be very media driven, mostly video should I go to Drupal 6 or 5. Drupal 5 has more modules for this right now but will it be worth the wait for the drupal 6 modules. It seems like Drupal 6 is limited on flash right now unless I missed a really good module out there.

After performing an upgrade from 5.2 to 5.7 any page that starts with /admin will not load. I don't get any response and the browser just spins forever. No error, no timeout, nothing!

I just upgraded from Drupal 5.1 to 6.2. Now my Views are missing. I installed the Views 6.2 module and I can see the views in the database and in the "Convert" section of the Views config screen. Is there a way to get the old views to show in the new version of drupal? I have tried converting the views but I get a syntax error. I'll try reinstalling the module but if there is anything else that I should do any help on this would be great.

Hi there,

first of all sorry for my english who isn't very good.

I have a drupal 5.5 site and i want to upgrade to the latest version 6.2.

What i want to do :

1/ Install a fresh install of 6.2
2/ Install module as CCK...
3/ transfer the database

But i think that there'll be problems with the database compatibility. Is there some stuff or tips to upgrade without too many problems ?

Thanks for your answers !

Hi,

just asking for confirmation, as far as I can tell there shouldn't be any problems doing such an upgrade... the old site is not using many contrib modules (CCK, Views and Image) and I will switch to another theme anyway.

Anything I should consider before proceeding?

cheers,

Jon

I am using Drupal 5.7, I installed Update Status module to check for module updates, and according to suggestions provided I updated more then 15 modules at my site, now my taxonomy menu is all screwed up:
