Upgrading MovableType (for real this time)
Not happy with my previous upgrade attempt since it pretty much destroys all the existing files I tried another MovableType 3.2 upgrade attempt. This time it's much more successful.
You can pretty much disregard the instruction on MovableType website for "upgrading" MovableType installation. This is what you need to do:
1) Backup everything, including your MovableType's database. I'm using BerkeleyDB so it's very easy for me.
2) Extract MovableType's tar.gz file into a new directory
3) Fix your mt-config.cgi. For me there are only two (yes two) settings that I need to fix. The path for my new MT 3.2 install and the location of the datasource. Point the datasource to the old MT 3.1x BerkeleyDB
4) On your web browser go to your new MovableType 3.2 directory's mt.cgi. That will automatically sets the upgrade process and voila you're done.
This way my templates, old generated files are still the same. One thing that I still couldn't figure out is that I can't see all the comments on the comments list. They are there if I go to the individual entries but a lot are missing from the main comments page. I hope this is not a sign of a corruption again.
