Pretty Painless Upgrade

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

That is the upgrade to Movable Type 3.3 over at my Child Abuse blog. I just extracted the downloaded zip file and uploaded the files to the site, pointed my browser to the usual login page and it prompted me to run an upgrade script and away I was. I’m looking forward to seeing more of what they’ve put into this version.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your own site, you might want to take a look at this post about what plugins are not compatible. It may affect your decision.

As always, while I think everything’s working, if you are over there and spot something that isn’t quite right, please let me know!

Update: Obviously, I spoke too soon. While all the database connections work and I can make changes to plugins, etc. I can’t post anything new! There is obviously a setting or file permission I’ve missed, but with the MT forums being off-line it’s not really easy to find a solution right now. In the meantime, anyone ever seen a “PreSave Failed” message?

Update #2: After a few failed attempts at finding a solution, I’ve rolled back to version 3.2 and done a database restore. Maybe after the forums are back I’ll research a solution and try again.

    Late night last night, because what should have been a simple upgrade turned into badness. The machine I’ve been running VMWare at home on only had 256MB of RAM. I’ve been wanting to give the Virtual Machines more RAM to work with, and finally, the computer store near me had a couple of PC100 256MB…

    OK, I admit it, I’m a sucker. I know I’m not the only one out there either. Yeah, I’ll be listening to Kevin’s podcast later today, simply because he blogged about it and said that I was mentioned in the program. Like you wouldn’t be tuning in to see what he said about you… 🙂…

    Be sure to read this article about PocketPC 2003 (aka Windows Mobile 2003) on a Dell Axim in it’s entirety. Dell is apparently offering upgrade CD’s to current Axim owners for $29. This article looks to have all the details on whether it’s worth the upgrade or not, but it’s long! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
