I was running civi 3.4.7 on drupal 6 and decided to upgrade to drupal 7. Because civi 3 wouldn't be compatible I upgraded it to 4.1.6 (a few hiccups but otherwise everything seemed to be working).

BTW I a, doing all this on WAMP

I then tried upgrading drupal, but that failed in several attempts. So I did a fresh install of drupal 7, installed a few modules & imported some of my data just to make sure it was all working and getting the feel of the new platform.

I then installed civi4.1.6 and imported my old database. On the modules page, I got big red x's and a message that the civi version was not compatible with drupal 7.

So I tried upgrading civi to 4.2.6. When I ran the script, it returned "Page not found - The requested page "/drupal7/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1" could not be found. I tried this several times - all with the same result.

So I decided to try a fresh install of 4.2.6. It won't install because it keeps telling me "The user account used by your web-server needs to be granted write access to the following directory in order to configure the CiviCRM settings file."  Numerous manipulations later it still won't access that folder.

I am the only user of this computer and I have other installations that have given me no problems.
Help! I'm going backwards
