Migrating an old Drupal 4 site

Hello.

I'm trying to port a website from an older version of Drupal 4 over to Drupal 6, since the server's being upgraded to run on Debian Lenny and it appears that the Drupal 4 installation we have doesn't work with PHP4. What would be the least painful way to do this? Alternatively, is there a way to make Drupal 4 play nicely with PHP5 or make Lenny play nicely with PHP4?

Upgrade from 4 to 5 newbie question

I've been asked to upgrade a Drupal 4.7 installation to Drupal 5 at the very least. I've set up new versions of Drupal before and done upgrades, but nothing on this scale. The existing database is very large with lots of modules and other customizations that break upon upgrading to Drupal 5. I'm wondering what my best course of action is here-I'm doing this in my spare time and not for work, so availability to work on this is an issue as well. Is it worth it to upgrade at all? Or should I just soldier on?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Open source ad on StackOverflow pokes fun at Drupal

Possibly the funniest advert ever. I do hope that some of these issues are resolved in Drupal, although I've kinda gotten used to the unpredictable UIs.

Job: Experienced Drupal Troubleshooter Needed

Approximately 1 month ago my drupal installation started intermediately slowing down (long page loads) and at times would give the drupal error message “unable to connect to database”.

My server management company told me this error was occurring because the mysql limit was being reached because certain queries were hanging and taking a long time to execute (I have a small sample log to take a look at for an example).

In addition, I also started receiving mysql/php errors on the hompage (example, “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent”, I have a txt file with this as well).

I also started receiving mysql/php errors in the drupal admin log. There were deadlock errors as well as “SELECT command denier to user” and “Dupliate entry” errors on various tables. The ‘select command denied & ‘dupliate entry’ always occur on my gsitemap so I’m concerned my sitemap is not being updated properly and/or is messed up. I should mention I’ve also witnessed these errors on a few other tables.(I have a txt file with these examples as well).

Members have also experienced issues with logging in and staying logged in, I believe it’s related to the cache.

I should mention that before this occurance the site has been running great since switching servers last September, and that this issue seemingly came out of the blue.
