I just upgraded to drupal 6.5 and in order to get to my site I have to enter
http://www.pooplatter.com/drupal-6.5/
I used to not have to enter the /drupal-6.5/
I know this is amateur but what is the easiest way to fix this
I know it is how I put it on the server or at least I think.

Thanks in advance

cp -R * ..

But, I think you must read the UPGRADE.txt file.

4.If using a custom or contributed theme, switch to a core theme, such as Garland or Bluemarine.

    Did not do<?ul>

    5. Disable all custom and contributed modules.

      Did not do

    6. Remove all old files and directories from the Drupal installation directory.

      I moved the old ones to a folder on the server which I now can not delete

    I do not know what to do

Is your site still OK?

When you say you've moved all the old files, what exactly did you do?

What you need to do is this:-

Your current Drupal installation is somewhere like /home/youraccount/public_html, right?

Create a new folder called 'whatever'

Copy the new version of drupal core (drupal-6.5.tar.gz) to another folder, typically by uploading the .tar.gz file to /home/youraccount/whatever

cd to whatever

Do a 'tar cvfz drupal-6.5.tar.gz'

This will create a folder in /home/youraccount/whatever called drupal-6.5

cd to that directory then type 'cp -R * /home/youraccount/public_html or wherever your drupal installation is.

Any help?

Pete.
