redirect issue after ugrade php / sql 4 to php / sql 5 multisites only

Looking at the phpmyadmin search results, it appears to be about 2459 users/blogs.. most of these are not active and marked as spam / archived – I am guessing there are only about 30-50 blogs / users that were active, but the sql dump uncompressed is about 160mb – I should go through and delete all those archived ones I guess!

Throwing out the idea of ‘Maybe you could just rebuild….’ Wow. Yeah, that’s a clean before you move thing, normally.

Yeah, I was hoping that maybe I could find someone that would be able to take in this sql4 database onto their box and get it to work or hash out the problem, but it seems it may just be easier to go through and rebuild from scratch – I just rebuilt one of the two sites, manually copying posts from the phpmyadmin and pasting into pages on the rebuilt small site – not it appears that I will have to do it the same way with this one – sighs, loves wordpress updates, really trying to anyway – lol

Thanks so much for the help here btw – just having some reply makes a huge difference in stress levels!

Sometimes a rebuild is the only way :/

My site was WP 1.5 -> 2.9, then I switched to WPMU, then WP 3.0-beta MultiSite. Then BACK to 3.1 Single Site and BACK AGAIN to 3.2 multisite. And then something broke. ?? Sometimes all this crap we add on kills us.
