Upgrading from drupal 4.7 to 6.x : The Pain

Features: Feature ArticlesCritical Path Innovation: Computers

My upgrade plan hit a snag. I had fully upgraded my test site to Drupal 5. Then I decided to make the final push to version 6.

I went into the 6.x upgrade completely under-prepared. All I did was watch this video -- http://www.masteringdrupal.com/screencast/upgrading-to-drupal-6

Actually, I didn't even watch the whole thing. My upgrade completely failed and now I have an 'unrecoverable error' in the upgrade process. I think the problem may have been that I didn't turn off any of the modules before I started the upgrade. So I completely junked the test site. I suppose I will try again this weekend. Next time, however, I will make sure to read the drupal handbook on upgrading!
