Driki - make the Wiki smile

Follow these steps to update your site from 5 -> 6

Prepare

1. Make sure all active modules are available in Driki6. Use this table as a reference
2. If you use a module that is not available  in Driki6, you'll need to deactive it before continuing. If deactivating is not an option, you are screwed - sorry
3. Make up your mind about the overall state of the modules - again use this table. In general I'd say, that a module, that is still in dev-state, is pretty unmaintained and should be used with some caution
4. Do the same with your theme
5. If you have your own module(s) and/or own theme you have to migrate them to Drupal 6. 
6. Disable the update status module

So you decided to go for it - great ! Read the Drupal upgrading instructions

1. Backup your site directory and database
2. Log in using the the first username and password - usualy the admin
3. Disable all contributed modules - except for event
4. If you're using some goofy theme switch back to garland
5. Take the site offline - you can skip that in case you don't have any traffic :)
6. Delete the site directory, keep files and sites/default/settings.php
7. check out driki 6 - note: this is not an update to driki 5 but a new directory
   svn up --username <user>  --password <password> https://svn.microdoc.com/svn/driki/trunk/driki6/build .
8. Call http://yoursite/update.php - in case something fails, try to fix it and run the update script again
9. reactivate the modules

Tweak the new installation

1. Open settings.php in an editor and add the following line 
   $cookie_domain = 'osi.driki.ws';
   replace osi ... with your domain name. For whatever reason this is needed by the all new FCKEditor
2. Check all permissions -> admin/user/permissions
