MT Upgrade
I upgraded to MT 3.3 this week and it was good to get "under the hood" of the site for a bit. I had a few minor issues with the upgrade and had to wait until the weekend to figure out the strange error messages. When I looked into the database, I was able to get them sorted out in short order.
One of the things that prompted me to go ahead and move from 3.15 to 3.3 is that my log would not display. I was not sure whether something had been upgraded on the server or if something else was going on. After working through some silly permission issues for the other errors I was getting, the upgrade kept hanging on upgrading the log table. I glanced at the database tables and then did a massive double-take. My log table was 30 megs! There were 105,000 entries in the log file! Well, of course, most of these entries were blocked trackbacks but it has only been a few months since I last emptied the log file. I had to manually dump the table and then MT upgraded just fine. I still need to kick the tires a bit but all seems to be working again.
And all this time I thought the traffic to my site was from people interested in what I was writing...
