Drupal 4.7.x

Goal: upgrade from 4.7.3 to 6.x

In preparation for the upgrade, I decided to make a development copy on my local machine.

I copied my public site to a local vmware server (ubuntu server 8.10 running under VMware). After some debugging of my apache2 setup, it's basically working. I can login as user ID=1 (admin) or my normal user account, and that succeeds. I see the username on the left sidebar. All the site content looks good as far as I can tell. In other words, much of the locally duplicated site appears to be operational.

However, whenever I use any link to navigate somewhere, say, forums, I am immediately logged out, though Drupal actually goes to the requested page (assuming anonymous has access to it.)

Net result: I can't do any administration functions. For example, I log in as drupal admin, and select "administer" in the menu. I get "Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page." But...

Now it gets interesting. So if I login again as admin, I get the admin home page displayed, but again, any click to go anywhere else results in moving to that page but losing the login status. That is, it logs out the user immediately.

I've been struggling with this issue for a few days now, and I'm out of ideas.

Of course, my original (public) site still works.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Much appreciate any input.

When upgrading from 4.7 to 5.1 (so that I can get to 6.x eventually), I tried to upgrade the views module. The one I downloaded as the 5.x version is causing problems like, Call to undefined function: views_get_all_urls().

When I looked at the module version in administration it shows 6.x. Something may be wrong with the download, or am I doing something wrong?

How can create a content hierarchy like this?

Campaign
|
Lead
|
Opportunity
|
Account

When i click Campaign1 all the leads under Campaign1, all the opportunity nodes under Lead1, all the Accounts under Opportunity1 should shown like this

Our immediate needs are for individuals with CiviCRM Implementation and Support experience, Module Developers, and Graphic Designers with great portfolios and competitive rates.

I have some folks with a site that was built some time ago using Drupal 4.7. They need the site upgraded to 6.6, and all of the data migrated to the new site. They'd also like to get the site rethemed with the same color scheme as before, but possibly with a better design. The URL for the site is trans-health.org. All of the modules of course must be updated as well. They're also running a CiviCRM install whose data must also be migrated.

Hi

Overnight Friday I had some problems with php memory - any page on the site returned "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /usr/home/****/public_html/modules/contact.module on line 293"

I fixed this by tweaking the memory allocation in the root .htaccess

However, I have since tried to login and it appears to log me in (I get admin links etc), but as soon as I try to do anything I am logged out again.

Note that I have tried cookies/browsers/machines but it is the same everywhere.
