Description

The recent release of Drupal 4.6.6 has two critical bugs. Because the 4.6 versio of Drupal is frozen it is unknown if the Drupal core team will do a release that fixes any of these problems. From the lack of interest shown the situation does not look good for Drupal 4.6 user that are not will to upgrade to version 4.7 so here is a release that fixes the following critical bugs.

The first is when doing a new install and using PHP5 Drupal CMS does not load completely. This is because Xtemplate, the default template system is not PHP5 compatible. The syptoms of this bug is shown when this code shows on the first page.

{head} {styles} {_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_name} {secondary_links}
{primary_links}
{_BLOCK_.header.blocks}
welcome message

The second problem is when upgrading from 4.6.5 to 4.6.6 the usermodule contains a bug for users of PHP 4.3.2 and possibly below.

<?php

      $old_session_id = session_id();
    session_regenerate_id();
      db_query("UPDATE {sessions} SET sid = '%s' WHERE sid = '%s'", session_id(), $old_session_id);
?>

Should be change to the following code in 4.6.6:

<?php

      session_start();
      $old_session_id = session_id();
    session_regenerate_id();
    $new_session_id = session_id();
      db_query("UPDATE {sessions} SET sid = '%s' WHERE sid = '%s'", $new_session_id, $old_session_id);
?>

If you are a PHP5 user and upgrading then it is recommended that you download PHPtemplate and install it. Switch to a phptemplate theme before doing your upgrade. Doing this procedure you will avoid the first bug if you are using PHP5 and trying to use the standard download from Drupal.org.
