Finished MT upgrade and site move

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Just today I finally got the last of the www.martinandalex.com directories off the server and out of my code base. The blog is now fully hosted only at www.deepgreencrystals.com. Just changed the Google search in the upper right. The last problem I had was with getting MT-xmlrpc.cgi to work correct from w.bloggar and scribefire. After alot of searching on the support sites, i find that you have to delete or rename mt.cfg. it is a configuration file used by MT 3.15 and not 4.0. Why didn’t the MT-Upgrade.cgi script do that? And why did the failure of the system expose itself as an authority problem with mt-xmlrpc.cgi when the config file was there? Yet another sign I am afraid that Movable Type has lost it’s way on server software. Unfortunate.
