For all of you out there with existing Drupal 4.7 sites, this tutorial is for you. It covers the necessary steps to convert your current Drupal installation to Drupal 5.

Written and recorded by: Angie Byron and Matt Westgate of Lullabot

Requires Apple QuickTime 7.

Note that this video suggests copying the contents of sites\default from the 4.7 install to the 5.x install. If you do this, do not overwrite the newer settings.php file.
