Upgrading duvien.com from Drupal 5 to 6

Submitted by admin on Mon, 23/03/2009 - 19:50

I've been needing to do this for a long time because Drupal 6 is so much nicer to work with. So over the weekend, i've finally upgraded this site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. This was done on a local test server. It wasn't a straightforward process and encountered a few minor errors but it all went well. Some issues on existing site were also fixed after upgrade (only noticed those issues while working on the upgrade).

So later tonight, this site is going offline while i transfer the spanking new site over.

I've documented the upgrade process so expect a tutorial to follow over the next few days.

I've also received a complimentary copy of Drupal Themes 6 from Packt Publishing, excellent timing and many thanks to Niraja for getting in touch and sending me a copy for review, which i hope will be up very soon. I can already tell you it's an excellent book as a reference guide to Drupal 6 theming. I highly recommend buying the book from Packt Publishing, at least some of the money goes to the Drupal Association.
