you can open modules/system.module look at the very tip line that has an ID number in it.
compare it to the other downloads available in CVS or the drupal project downloads area.
Drupal Version
Ok Thanks, This is whats there. I see the mod version but the drupal verion???
www:/srv/www/htdocs/drupal/modules #less system.module
<?php
// $Id: system.module,v 1.182 2004/10/16 07:35:29 dries Exp $
Any ideas?

right now compare that with the system.module file of the other downloads.
which means download 4.5 check it
download 4.6 check it so on so forth until you figure out which version you are using.
no offhand I do not know what version you are running.

Wow. 4.5.0
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/modules/system.module?rev=1....
Um. To long ago for me but check out
http://drupal.org/upgrade/
http://drupal.org/node/30699
You will need to go 4.5 -> 4.6 -> 4.7 -> 5.1
You may be able to jump from 4.6 -> 5.1 but you can't skip the 4.5 -> 4.7 step. Some updates that were later removed from update.php
I will mention the need for a test site. Please do not blow up your production site and HERE is an abbreviated / general guideline on some considerations.

Looks like I'll be at awhile. Ok, in the uprgrade steps it says I need to upgrade to 4.6.2 from 4.5.0 then to 4.6.3. .Is there a place they keep the older archives for such occasions? Because in the downloads area I only see the latest 3 versions .
Thanks Everyone, Steven ; ?)
