A script is used to backup the site files and database daily with automatic rotation. Forgot where I found the codes so, sorry for not able to give credit.

P.S. Use a cron job to run it daily.

Drupal Upgrade

Submitted by Lo Yuk Fai on Mon, 2008-09-15 20:58

The site was upgraded from Drupal 5.x to 6.x.

It was working fine and as a hindsight, there's no major need to upgrade. Except maybe, the "cool" factor of upgrading something.

I had to change the codes of the theme (box_grey) a bit so that it works for 6.x. But other than that, it's just some clicks here and there.

Also changed the location of the "files" directory as per suggested.
