Upgrade


I just upgraded my MovableType installation (BTW, thats the software that powers this blog) to the 3.2 release. The install wasn't really seamless or painless for me.

So what didn't work for me?

  • The fact that I needed to move the files from the mt-static directory to my blog directory wasn't obvious to me. That meant that the proper javascript wasn't getting pulled into the upgrade. This caused the upgrade cgi to say it was upgrading, when in fact nothing was happening.
  • Once I moved the mt-static files to the right location, the tc/client.js script still wasn't getting pulled in. I had to update the upgrade template to specifically include the client file. Then everything worked fine.
  • When I was done I rebuilt the indexes. When I was done the permalinks got completely hosed up. Dunno exactly what happened, since it disappeared after I rebuilt again.

Most everything seems to work now. If you see any strange behavior let me know. I'll likely be overhauling my templates soon, so you may see some things changing.
