Here are the steps I used to upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6

1. Backed up my database as site.sql
2. Backed up my drupal directory
3. rm -fr my drupal directory
4. Edited the FreeBSD port Makefile to install into /usr/local/mysite
5. moved the modules directory from 4.5.x to the new 4.6.x install
6. created sites/www.mysite.com/setting.php and edited.
7. I completely removed my drupal database and created an empty drupal
database
8. did: mysql -u root -pMY-PASS drupal < databases/database.mysql from the
4.6.x install directory.
9. did: mysql -u root -pMY-PASS drupal < site.sql to re-populate the
database with my old data. I did get a warning about " access " already
exist on Line 10.

Now when I surf to my site, all I get is a blank white page and NO errors
in the httpd error log.

Any ideas?

Michael
