Upgrading Drupal

Hi! I have a big problem.

I follow step by step the file UPGRADE.TXT for upgrade mi old 5.1 version to the newest 6.2

I change the language to english (im spanish), and i deactivated all the modules

When i go to acces to the upgrade page (after upload the new files/folders and replace later "sites" and "files".
I dont modifi .htaccess or robots.txt
In settings.php i change FALSE to TRUE. The instalation works fine, but at the finish, i have this error:

Click in the link and appears this new page:

In wich we can view that at the left side, al the steps are in green...in fact, its seems that all have a good install less the forum.

Later, i have the real big problem, i cant acess to mi web for deacivate the maintenance mode::

Can any one tell me where the php print doctype is so i can change it to the new simple doc type that covers all the languages no more having to know if it is strict or loose or frameset this will be much easier. i don't know if any one has seen it.

and now I'm locked out! :D

I originally installed 6.1 via Fantasico so,
I followed these instructions -> http://drupal.org/node/248998

and everything seemingly went smooth, until I went to put the site back "on-line" All I get is a page that says "Site off-line
Drupal is currently under maintenance. We should be back shortly. Thank you for your patience. "

Has anyone got a key? :S

I have upgraded from Drupal 6.0 to 6.2 and no when I add module and save I am shown a blank page only. I see at status bar "Done" but I can not do any thing. I have reloaded the page several time but it did not help.
Is there any problem with database links? I din run the updat.php and corn for the site. again nothings is changed.

Please help!

Hi,

There is a lot of threads on ugrading MySQL from 4.0 to 4.1 and very little specifically from 4.1 to 5.0. :(
It is hard to tell which threads are for 5.0 or if they apply for 5.0 as well as for 4.1.

I have a Drupal 5.1 with MySQL 4.1.2 working fine.
When migrating to another webhost with MySQL 5.0, I get stuck with the garbled characters.

To migrate, I have selected in PHP myadmin in the old site, all tables, and the Compatibility option as 4.0
I have uploaded my DB 3 times without success.

One point of interest:

My site in the old host, with MySQL 4.1 had to have a modification in the database.mysql.inc file, where I had to comment the following code for the same garbled reason. Now I am wondering if it should remain the same.

/* On MySQL 4.1 and later, force UTF-8 */
/* if (version_compare(mysql_get_server_info(), '4.1.0', '>=')) {
mysql_query('SET NAMES "utf8"', $connection);
}
*/

Thanks for the help.

I am planning on making a site based on version 6.2. I plan to base it on the Garland Theme, but I am going to modify the CSS quite extensively, and will also be making some changes to the template.php and .tpl.php files to change some of the HTML output. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for ways to make these modifications so that when Drupal 7 comes out, the upgrade process is as easy as possible.

As an example, in my CSS files, I am considering making all changes below the default code. To clarify, say there is already a rule that says:
