I followed your instructions, but when I try to access admin/default/index, I get the following error message:

I don't want to reinstall everything, and I don't want to jump through hoops. On Monday, 12 March 2012 13:03:11 UTC-4, Richard wrote: > > I am strongly suggest to you to not updating that way.
