No matter what I do I can’t log into this thing, the password it game me doesn’t work. It keeps going to back the login page without any error. I even tried rubbish text for the user name and password and there isn’t even a error.

Why is this so? If I can’t log in, how am I supposed to post?

I received an error after running the upgrade 0.71 script. I realised that the start and end motor of the blog syntaxes were different, changed them… but got this error instead:

1. SQL/DB Error –
2. [Unknown column 'post_status' in 'where clause']

Eh? Can anybody help?

please make default charset of meta-tag of index.php,comment.popup.php
to $admin_area_charset.then,we can change easily the chaset of our site.
or make another variable something like $site_charset.
but in almost all case, charset of admin and index.php is same.

the change is important in CJK users.

Glad to hear things worked out David. Next time it might be better to start a forum thread rather than use the comments here.

Wow! Renamed all b2* tables with phpMyAdmin to dev_*. Only complaint upgrade script had was about missing b2settings table. Everything else rolled over ok. Check it out at http://www.davidmattison.ca/wordpress

Need to move around some stuff, tweak it, etc. At least no data conversion delirium tremors!

Me again. Ignore the b2evolution theory. I want to give WordPress 0.72 a crack. The old tables are still there. I’ll delete the dev_* tables that were added when I ran wp-install.php and rename the b2* tables, and try running the upgrade script again. Can’t get any worse than this. If worse goes to catastrophic failure, since I haven’t had the pleasure of importing a saved SQL zipped file to an existing DB, any tips if I reinstall 0.71 and need to import the SQL zipped file? I saved both the Structure and Data and just the Data as zipped files. Thanks people!

Bummer. Slept on this. Couldn’t ruin it more, so I tried running the plain old wp-install.php, which did ruin it more. Will go back to previous version or try b2evolution. I think one change you might want to think about is to not install on top of existing files, but to install in a new directory. Then when things are working in the new installation, which reads from and converts the existing database, delete the existing installation. This won’t allow you to rollback your database, but by backing up the data first, at least you’d preserve your original site in its own directory. This is the method I use for Tiki.
