 * I only want to export/update the path the database as I’ve transferred all of
   the other files over via ftp.
 * The migrate page is really slow to load, though it usually populates after several
   minutes – but the loading icon doesn’t show so it appears to be locked of. I 
   still can’t get past the ‘Start Migration’ step. A couple of times the Migrate
   page really did lock up (Chrome reported it unresponsive), or after I clicked‘
   Start Migration’ it went to a page with only the title and no results, and no
   backup was found on the target server. Another couple of times the ‘connection
   was reset’ and I lost the page completely. This is all probably due to the crappy
   GoDaddy server that I’m trying to get away from. I just bumped up memory in php5.
   ini to see if that helps. All I really need is a way to edit the path in the 
   database so that the image paths are updated correctly – I’ve found that search
   and replace in a text editor can’t handle it. Of course I also cleared my cache
   and restarted the browser. Are you aware of any problems with Chrome for Mac 
   OS? Any other issues/suggestions that may help? Thanks!
