Hi Hywong7i

Welcome to Drupal!

First, migrating out of D5 is a really good idea. Since D7 was released, Drupal 5 has been unsupported. This means that there could by now be a number of security issues with your site, so it would be a good idea to move to Drupal 6 or Drupal 7.

Almost always the best way to migrate from D5 to D7 is via D6. The whole process is documented at http://drupal.org/upgrade/. I suggest reading through that page carefully, then reading the two pages that are linked from the bottom of it - one on upgrading from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, and one on upgrading Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

You can also use http://drupal.org/project/migrate to migrate directly to Drupal 7

... doesn't that need http://drupal.org/project/migrate_d2d, which has no GUI at present?

Thx all,
Sorry, guys, I am a stupid person, I installed the migrate_d2d in my d7 website, how to use it?
I have these questions

1. How can this module migrate the contents to the d7 from d5?
2. Which files should I edit, if the table's field name is different between the D7 and D5 ?

Is that right?
'source_type' => 'article','page',^M
'destination_type' => 'article','page',^M
