FYI, I updated a Riv 1.7 to 2.1.4 recently and had an error upgrading the database (something about duplicate index's being added).
I restored the db prior to the upgrade and it worked fine the second time (I tried on a dev machine to get this same problem to reoccur without any luck so chalked it up to one of those things). Some extras that seem to catch people out on migration. 1. Make sure permissions for /var/snd are correct 2. Get Apache up and running 3. Test Riv works as intended before importing the old data 4. rsync (or scp) everything in the old /var/snd to the new /var/snd 5. Import the DB as per Rob's instructions (1 - 5) 6. Go into Edit hosts and create a new host based on the old one but with the new computers host name 7. Restart the Rivendell services on the new PC (or reboot the computer if thats your thing). Oh and If you are sharing the database on one PC, remember to edit my.conf to not bind it to the localhost address.
