Steve Sizemore's Weblog

You've probably noticed by now the new layout of my blog. I recently moved my website to dreamhost from readysetconnect. When I uploaded my blog to dreamhost, I was unable to login to my blog. I think this was because the version of the Berkeley DB library was different.

Think I could have updated my db files or got with dreamhost, but instead I decided to download the movabletype files and start over from scratch.

I imported my txt backup I made on the old host, and I was up and running in 20 minutes. All of the catagories and entries imported flawlessly. The only thing I lost was the templates. I'm still in the process of tweaking the sitestyle. I should have something up this weekend.

Update: I ended up upgrading my db anyway. I found the solution on dreamhosts forums.

Here's the solution:

You need to telnet in to your site. Change directory to get inside your MT database directory.

Then run this command:

db4.3_upgrade *.db *.idx
