forgot to mention golden rules:
1. Backup your site first. 2. Perform the upgrade on a test site first

The upgrade process itself (upgrade to latest 4.7.x before upgrading to Drupal 5.x) is safe and well documented.

You might, however, run into problems with modules you might be using, so you should read up on their 5.x state, and the upgrade problems others might have registered in the issue queues first.

Hi,
I would like to migrate a web site from Drupal 4.7.2 to 5.10 (specifically 5.10-1~bpo40+1 from Debian etch-backports).
I imagine this migration might be quite painful, does anyone have any advice?
I'm wondering whether I might be best to start with a fresh Drupal installation and semi-manually transfer the data from the old database using a script.
Thanks
Ben
