Drupal 4.7.x

I'm trying to upgrade some sites based on Drupal 4.7.2 using Flexinode to use Drupal 6.4 and CCK. However, I can't even login to them! When I go to login to the sites it can take a few attempts for it to work; when it finally does let me in, if I go to /admin I just get a blank page with the number "2".

I have tried upgrading the site using update.php to Drupal 5.1 and 5.2 and 6.4 in various different steps, each time trying to login and I always get the same result.

Can I upgrade 4.7.4 to 6.4 using Fantastico?

This is a project that is in the thousands of dollars so please only contact me with serious inquiries if you are qualified.

-Upgrade drupal from 4.7 to latest version

-New logo

Custom modules / programming:

I moved my Drupal site to a new server and followed all the forum posts on "How to". The site comes up, but when I login, I get all the user menus but when I try to go to one I get "Access Denied You are not authorized to access this page." Then if I login again I the page I was trying to go to then resolved.

Hello.
Right now i have the same ads above every page on the site but i would to have it like this...

I have an ad that i want to ONLY be shown above all the posts on the front page.
Have another ad be shown on every page BUT the front page.

Now i know you can do this with the blocks but i dont want it to be themed like i have all my blocks set up.

So i was hoping there was code that checked to see if it was the front page or any other page then display the snippet of code in a set of brackets. Hoping theres some kind of IF command.

Dear Drupal community,

Please help.

We have a Drupal (4.7) site set up that some time ago started acting up. The problem has to do with logging in, or rather, STAYING logged in. We can log into the site, but not use any of the user functionality. The first step of letting us in is fine, but clicking on any item on the user menu “logs you out”: e.g. the user menu changes to a login box, and the content container, instead of displaying the requested page, says “Access denied. You are not authorized to access this page.” But, the funny thing is, if one stays on this page and logs in again on that same page, in the login box where the menu used to be, the page requested at first is displayed properly, but only until another link is clicked or the browser is refreshed. Logging in works, but refreshing the browser logs you out. There must be something wrong with what ever it is in Drupal that remembers you after you log in. Because we can't access any user functions, we as admins can't inspect the sessions/cookies/chaching settings to make sure they're okay. If we try to access the admin pages Drupal takes us to /manage/admin/ and a login form in the content wrapper.

Any ideas on what we might try to fix this? We are not sure when this problem started or what might have caused it. We only know that our users and us are unable to use the site.
