Upgraded 6.23 to current 7

This error:

Help?

I just need the update to work. It doesn't.

and it won't if PDO isn't enabled on the server. Have you checked to see if PDO is enabled?

VM, I would, if I weren't so far over my head I need an air tank....I probably can set up php data objects, but if I did, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it if I did. Would you know how to do it? My issue is that first I had to upgrade from 5 to 6, and lost the book review posts. I think in 7, I could make a new book review form that recognizes the old book review posts invisible on 6. What do you think? My head hurts.

you don't do anything with PDO except make sure it's enabled on your server so that Drupal 7 can run. Drupal 7 handles what to do with PDO via the code base.

7 runs perfectly in a subdirectory on my server. Just getting 6 content stable and upgrading to 7, that's the problem.

Personally I'd investigtate migrating the data rather than upgrading. Investigate the migrate.module

Can't get to the admin panel now, so...I'm kind of up a creek.
