How NOT to upgrade from MT 2.6 to 3.0
OK, I am over it. Here is what NOT to do:
1. Do NOT create a new database
2. Do NOT run two parallel installs
3. Do NOT export from 2.6 and import to 3.0.
This causes all sorts of unnatural acts. Since I don't have a back-up of my old 2.6 database, I can't recover from this mess, so I am just going to take my lumps and move on. I will leave the 2.6 individual archive files out there to keep google page rank, but they won't work well. Hopefully google will find the same entries with the new archive file names and start linking to those.
The RIGHT way to upgrade:
1. Upload 3.0, overwrite the 2.6 files.
2. Run upgrade script.
3. Make CSS and Index template changes that you want to keep.
done.
Learn from my mistakes...
