Drupal 4.5.x or older

Ok, i followed this guide at UbuntuForums to setup Drupal (the one in their repo's 4.5.5 i believe):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=182166

in the /etc/drupal/conf.php file... from the tutorial.. it gives us 2 options:

For LAN access:

$db_url = "mysql://root:your_database_password@localhost/drupal";
$base_url = "http://drupal_server's_ip_address/drupal";

For WAN access:

List of Tableless, CSS based skeleton page templates -basic stuff.
A reference for theme design starters from bottom up or alteration.
there are many other references also http://drupal.org/project/raw

I found this one as handy access

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/

also
css menu's forms etc.

I'm about to upgrade a 4.5 site to 4.7, so transferred everything (4.5) across to a test server.

Everything seemed to go fine, so I was then going to upgrade to 4.6.6 when I noticed that comments hadn't been carried above. I can't see what I've done wrong.

Where are the comments stored?

Also, is it worth carrying across cache, accesslog, search index and watchdog? Is there anything else that wouldn't be carried across if I just emptied them?

I tried an upgrade from my ancient 4.5.2 version to 4.6.9 today.

All went well in the conversion (no errors), but after running upgrade.php using 2005-01-14 as the start date (4.5.2 CHANGELOG.txt shows it's from 2005-01-15) I get the errors below instead of the home page.

Any suggestions on what I might try?

Cheers,

Hi

Due to Fantastico's now well-known problems with Drupal upgrades, my site got stuck in the middle of an upgrade to 4.6 (to be immediately upgraded itself to 4.7, of course) and the only thing I have now are the site backups (code+DB) that Fantastico made.

Now I'm trying to restore my site manually from those backups, in order to upgrade it manually later. However, I'm unable to find the appropriate selection of DB character set in phpMyAdmin when importing the SQLdump that Fantastico made:

• When I choose the default UTF-8 in phpMyAdmin, the import process breaks due to problems in some tables.
• When I choose the LATIN1 or CP850 encodings in phpMyAdmin, the import process goes through the end, but all the 'foreign' characters in my content (i.e. accented letters and so on) come out garbled, which is unacceptable.

Can somebody explain how to detect the charset of an SQLdump? This is what I have in the first lines of my 35 MB backup.sql file:

-- MySQL dump 9.11
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: c10blogs_drpl1
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version	4.0.26-standard

Please note that I can't do a fresh SQL dump using a specific charset, because the site is broken, so I must work with the one Fantastico made.

Thank you for any assistance
