I was successful in upgrading on one of my servers but now I'm running into issues upgrading a 5.12 site to 6.6 on my shared server host.
I run the upgrade following all upgrade.txt instructions - I disable all contrib modules and themes. I switch the site to Garland theme. I change all the status of the contrib modules to "0" in the db system table.
I then copy over the Drupal 6.6 folders.
When I run update.php I get a blank white screen in my browser.
When I go to any other location of my site I get the following:
Warning: Unknown column 'serialized' in 'field list' query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire, serialized FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables' in //includes/database.mysql.inc on line 128

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Maybe a damaged file?
That doesn't sound right (unless you modified that file) You might start by copying over the files again and running update.php again.
If that doesn't work you can try turning caching of throught the db:
and running update.php again.
If that doesn't work you might get some new insights from the apache error log.

Closer ...
That helped. I had an FTP error when trying to move my original theme.inc file. I tried it again and it migrated. Then I replaced it with the 6.6 theme.inc file. Now I can get some content when I browse to my site but when I try running update.php I now get:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /themes/garland/maintenance-page.tpl.php on line 43

Same story probably
Re-upload that file as well

Yes!
Beautiful. I can get to update.php now.
Thanks so much!
