In my latest project, we have installed MOSS 2007 in a client’s environment and are working on upgrading/migrating their old WSS 2003 content over. This is somewhere between a parallel and in-place upgrade. I’ve learned quite a bit along the way – mostly through trial and error. Lots of issues. Lots of quirks. Lots of workarounds.

This is a very long, and involved process – so far (it’s still in process) using nothing more than out of the box commands, and SharePoint Designer. (more…)

Here’s a tip for those new to upgrading WordPress if you don’t like, or trust, the automatic upgrade. It’s relatively quick, easy, and leaves you with minimal downtime while still retaining the ability to revert back.

Note that I keep WordPress in its own folder to keep the files/folder structure on my webserver clean… It’s key in this upgrade method.

All fixed! Well, for now. If you had an account on the forum, you can login and start posting again. I still need to finish up a few things like add plugins and themes, but otherwise, it’s functional again.

Enjoy!

Ok. I had originally planned on spending the day working on my new site theme. Instead I ended up taking care of a handful of items on my to-do list, and updating WordPress.

Things went… strangely at first. But then I made a few tweaks and it all seemed to work out in the end! Perhaps tomorrow I’ll be able to make acceptable progress on the theme. And maybe bring the forum back online too?

WordPress has been updated. Not surprisingly, this did not seem to affect the (non)functionality of the forum at all. I’m looking into finding another solution for the forum now.
