If you were one of the people that tested this Alpha 3 version of the script, I need to tell you about a bug that was in it. When it made backup files, it duplicated one level of the directories. Your backups ARE still (mostly)valid, but they will have to be tweaked a bit before you can restore from them. Here is what I mean. The backup directory would look like this: ~/WPBackups-2007-01-06/Site1/wp-content/wp-content/blah/blah/blah ~/WPBackups-2007-01-06/Site1/wp-admin/wp-admin/blah/blah/blah ~/WPBackups-2007-01-06/Site1/wp-includes/wp-includes/blah/blah/blah See the doubling? You might want to download the newest version of the script and run it again just to create valid backups. That's probably easier than doing the mv and rm commands to fix this for all of your backups. Unless it is to provide requested feed back, this is the last you'll hear from me on the script here, but you can always download the latest version at this link: http://www.TheCodeCave.com/EasyWPUpdate Plus with adding the file backups and database backups and some other fixes, it is a far better tool. I want to thank all of you who tested this script for me. Dozens of you downloaded it and I wouldn't have the confidence in what it is today, if you hadn't helped. Thanks WP-Testers! OHOHOH! I almost forgot... One neat thing... I realized that with this script and the relative backups it makes of the files and the db, it should be really easy to restore the files to a different directory, then restore the SQLDump to a different database/database name and then change the wp-config in the new directory to point at that new database. SOOOOO, in short, you can easily create throw away blogs that you can use to repeatedly test upgrading 2.0.x to 2.1. I'm gonna try this later this weekend. I'll let you know if I come up with an instruction set. Cheers to you all! Have a great weekend. _______________________________________________ Brian Layman www.TheCodeCave.com _______________________________________________ Brian Layman www.TheCodeCave.com _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
