Hello,

It has been awhile I have been playing with GL and now I am doing all at once it seems Mr. Green

Here goes:

Upgraded from 1.4 to 1.5.2
Moved Box while at the same time going from MySQL 3 to 5 and a new version of PHP.

I guess I am getting close, and a few more grey hairs, but now I run into the following scenario.
In the configuration tool, the backup line is empty and when trying to put the path there, it refuses it (e.g. nothing happens).

In the error.log I get the following:

Text Formatted Code

Thu Feb 26 01:23:25 2009 - Unable to unserialize s:56:"/var/www/html/geeklog/data/"; for Core:path_data
Thu Feb 26 01:23:25 2009 - Unable to unserialize s:44:"/var/www/html/images/"; for Core:path_images

Thu Feb 26 01:23:26 2009 - Unable to unserialize s:44:"/var/www/html/images/"; for Core:path_images
 


And editing this table directly in phpmyadmin does not seem like a good idea (tried that a few times with no success)
I used the migration tool from Blaine, hence that is why I am up and running partially, but still some errors as you can see.

My question is.

Can you edit the values directly in the SQL Admin, and if so, how :-)
What is the logic of this s:44: string in the text field in the DB. Why not just the plain vanilla there ?

Best Regards,
Boris

OK, Could as well delete it, but leave it here for future reference if someone makes the same mistakes as I did :doh:

I imported the DB as UTF8 in the new one, where it was latin1.
This caused some hiccups also on the config table, because after a restore with the correct codepage I could actually just change them.

More details of my mistake here

SOLUTION (thank you, that no one helped)

The problem is that the programmer who decided to move path in new versions of GeekLog from the configuration file to the database, must hammer a nail into his head...

Hence a lot of problems when moving - GeekLog site will never work properly with the new path, and when you try to change the path in the database via phpmyadmin and climbs the above error.

How I solved the problem?

On the new server through simlinks created the old way.
In my case it was
Text Formatted Code
ln -s /home /usr/home


After that, it turns out that your site is as though lying in /usr/home/site and the /home/site, so you need to go to the admin, configuration, and replace all the old ways
Text Formatted Code
/usr/home/site/ *

new
Text Formatted Code
/home/site/*


Thats all, folks. Now delete the symlink and enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words. Next time, you may want to use the handy Migrate option in the install script that was made just for this case.

bye, Dirk
