[support] is it possible to import d5 content into a new d6 site?

[Neil Coghlan]

well, I tried the first part, the simple part, the users and got this:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxx/public_html/d6/user-migration.php on line 19

I looked around on d.o and tried db_fetch_object and db_fetch_array and both gave fatal errors for undefined functions. And that link you sent said the users was the easy part. Ha!

  You may find this useful: http://drupal.org/node/311442 (PHP script for the migration of content from Drupal 5.x to 6.x).

    I've had enormous problems trying to upgrade a D5 site to D6 and that's without ever getting even the initial db upgrade done (continual white screen of death), not to mention the c.40 contributed modules (some of which aren't available for D6) I have.
     
    I have a shiny new D6 installation running elsewhere on my server and I have to say I'm tempted to try and just import D5 content into it. Is that doable? If I could just import the nodes, the rest of the work would be a couple of days, mainly on Views and Blocks.
     
    I realise I can't just copy all the node_X tables over to their D6 equivalents as I imagine most of the tables have changed. Is there a way of doing it?
