Hi Drupal folks. I am a web developer versed in the "old" methods, i.e. HTML, CSS, ASP and ASP.net. I declared myself free of the M$FT stuff when I no longer had to do it and set about making life simpler with Open Source. I discovered Drupal when working up a site for my church, the idea being that individuals - even ordinarily inept ones - could do there owne updates.<br>
<br>My Drupal history is brief, about a month. I currently have a quasi-live Drupal 6 site, but I have been working with a Druppal 5.12 site on an XXAMP installation on my laptop. <br><br>I would like to take the live site to 5.12 and later go to 6.6 or whatever version is current; it just feels better now. I have backed up the database through PHPMyAdmin and would like to get advice on what to do next. Would I just remove the installation by folders or some other way? Once that is done, I assume just a new install of 5.12. The database has some users. I'd rather not start from scratch, but I could if necessary. If PHP andMySQL versions are key to this, I'll locate them.<br>
<br>Also, I have a question about the RSS link. THough I have disabled it, it still shows up on both 5.12 and 6.6 sites.<br><br>And, while I'm at it, I want to hide the "submitted by", etc messages. I'm wondering if there is a certain content type that needs to be used.<br>
