Over the last three or four days, I have had several people ask me about upgrading Drupal to the most recent versions of the software. At this point version 4 is up to 4.7.10 and version 5 is up to 5.5

Upgrading a Drupal site is pretty easy. It is always a good idea to grab a backup of your database and your Drupal files before starting the process. Upgrading from 4.x to 5.x is a little tougher than 5.x to a higher version of 5.x. This tutorial will focus on upgrading from a lower version of 5 to a higher version of 5. The most current version of Drupal is 5.5.
