Upgrading Drupal

Hi,

When we upgrade a module/themes in general, should we remove the existing version directory first, or just put the new one on top of the old one?

Thanks

hi,
i know you are not my bitches.
I know i am an idiot.
I am prepared for the fact that i will have to completely rebuild my site.

I am hopefully that you know a hell of a lot than me
about Drupal

OK so i followed to the letter, the instructions on upgrading from 5.x to 6.2
I even did a full backup and everything.

What i didn't do was set my theme back to default.
I was using a theme called friends electric which i had modified slightly (like just colors, almost no mods)
So, unaware that i had swaped my brain for a mouldy turnip, i hit go and vitisted update.php, filled in the bits and now get this:

Warning: Unknown column 'serialized' in 'field list' query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire, serialized FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables' in /home/sleeping/public_html/includes/database.mysqli.inc on line 128

Hi,

I working on the test server for my drupal 5 site, which i am trying to upgrade to drupal 6.

All seems to have gone well except when I goto my status page. I get a cron maintence task error highlight.

I then get an error when running CRON manually from the status page which is :

############################################################################

Fatal error: Call to undefined function tt_login() in /var/www/mySite-drupal6/includes/common.inc(1537) : eval()'d code on line 79

I am building a website for my company in Drupal 5.7.
I read that when Drupal 7 releases Drupal 5 is not longer supported by the developer community.
I would like to migrate my website to Drupal 6 before that.

So I was curious if there was already a date planned for the release of Drupal 7?

I installed Drupal using Fantastico, which was provided by my webhost company. Inmediately I received a message that I had to upgrade Drupal manually. I tried doing so, but apparently didn't do it correctly. Now my website it's gone and this is the message I get whenever I access it.

Does anybody know how to fix this? My web hosting company said that they do not provide support for Drupal. I'm a newbie at this, and it seems like I got in over my head. Thanks in advance!

I've been attempting to create a command that will search through all of my sites on a shared server and run cvs up in a particular module's (crmngp) directory. Here's what I tried:

find . -type d -name "crmngp" -print -exec cvs -n -q up -d -C {}\;

Says it can't find CVSROOT

find . -type d -name "crmngp" -print -exec cd {} + cvs -n -q up -d -C \;

Says it can't find the directory
