Moved everything across to new servers. All happy and good. Load up Movable Type databases, all goes okay.
Start Movable Type. Refuses to connect to database. Oh, oops, MySQL 4.1. Known problem.
Change database authentication settings. Now we get a different error.
Change configuration. No good.
Change user settings. No good.
Change Movable Type settings. No good.
Move database to local host. No good.
Do all of the above at once while crawling the web in search of anything that might give me a hint. No good.
The database works. I can access it through the MySQL command line; it's just Movable Type that rejects it.
Dig out Perl DBI docs and hack Movable Type database drivers. Good.
But not what I wanted to be doing at 3 o'clock on a Sunday morning.

FYI.
Posted by Rhodey at November 12, 2005 07:14 PMHey Lovey...
I can't post anything.
I get the "new post" screen, type a post hit "save" and get this:
An error occurred:
Writing to '/home/stevie/www/archives/133009.php.new' failed: Opening local file '/home/stevie/www/archives/133009.php.new' failed: Permission denied
Permission denied?
Who, why, when, where, wha...?
Now what?
Anything I need to do?
Hi Stevie. I gave it a poke, so try again now. At least it will have kept the post, so you won't have lost anything.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 12, 2005 08:13 PMIt worked!!!
Thank you Pixy, King of Munuviana, and his magical "poking stick".
(I've heard it called a lot of things, but "poking stick" is a new one and, by far, the most accurate.)
