My b2evolution Version: 4.1.x

Hi guys,
after having my first error on 1.10.2 I took advise and decided to upgrade b2evo and at the same time move the blog to a paid server which I already had.
This is the old blog:
http://www.borrasparkalbion.co.uk/blogs/index.php?blog=2

This is the new blog:
http://www.borrasparkalbion.org.uk/blogs/blog1.php

I simply want to transfer.

All I've done so far is install 4.1.4 and change the skin to the same one as the last blog.

I have my backups and have copied over the media files.

What do I do next?
I have tried importing my old database but get errors.
I've read the backup procedure but I am lost

Cheers
Al

What errors do you get trying to import the database?

3 May 21, 2012 08:48

It depends how I try to import the database.

The old database has 31 tables.
The new one has 51 tables.

If I drop all tables and import I get an error message to re-install.

If I try and select individual tables to import I get an error on the the first table that was myISAM and is now innoDB.

I'm not even sure the correct method to import.
Should I drop existing tables or empty?

I'll give you specific errors later when I get to work and retry.

Ok, here's what you need to do.

- drop [u]all[/u] tables from NEW b2evo install
- import all tables from OLD b2evo
- open b2evo installer and select "Upgrade"
- enjoy your upgraded system :)

Cheers sam2kb it's looking good so far.
One more minor issue

The list of blogs/pages along the header goes outside the header on the new blog, see the two links.

I can remove two pages but I assume there is a simple fix in the skin?

Old Blog:
http://www.borrasparkalbion.co.uk/blogs/index.php?blog=2
New Blog:
http://www.borrasparkalbion.org.uk/blogs/index.php?blog=2

Once I have got the new blog running I will uprade the old blog and keep everything on the old server.

Try to edit CSS in style.css line 81, add width: auto;

You can also go to Blog settings > Widgets and move the bloglist widget from "Page top" to "Sidebar" container
