Transfer to New Server With Fantastico & Upgrade WP version

  • Hi,

    I have to move 2 different blogs to a new server.
    One is running on v 1.5.2 (or possibly 1.5)
    The other is running under v 2.0

    When I move server I would like to run under 2.0.2

    What would be the safest way to do this?

    a) Upgrade the existing installations to wp 2.0.2 before moving to the new server.

    b) Install wp 2.0.2 on the new server and move the blogs there without upgrading them first.

    c) Install wp 1.5.2 & 2 on the new server, move the blogs there and then upgrade them to v 2.0.2.

    The new server uses Fantastico (which will automatically install wp 2.0.2). Is Fantastico reliable, or would it be better to install wp manually?

    Cheers,

    MC

    OK, I’ve finally sorted this. Apparently the problem is a known issue that happens when a database is exported using PHPMyAdmin from a server running Ensim. The solution is to do a data dump at the command line.
