At Last….
August 25, 2006
Well, here we are. You would not believe the pain-in-the-arse hassle I’ve had to get to this point.
I’ve changed web hosts, because GoDaddy don’t allow SSH connections, (Bluehost to the resuce!), but then found I needed to provide photo-ID to Bluehost before they would enable SSH on my hosting account. I’ve been cursing Firefox on Ubuntu for making it so difficult to install a simple plug-in. I’ve been cursing Ubuntu generally, because after installing phpmyadmin on my localhost, it point-blank refused to open.
It got to the point where I had visions of not being able to import any posts and categories and being forced to start over. Then I found this article, and figured that I could use the SQL script created by the mysqldump command and then cut and paste that script into the mySQL query window at Bluehost. As you can see, it worked!
