Oops.
Temp files I didn't know about (about 7.5mb of them) choked my system, crimped the MySQL database and caused Moveable Type to crash. I luckily was able to backup the entries and main template.
After a couple of hours of deleting the old stuff, installing the new and getting it to work, I have pulled out what little hair I have left.
Well, I got it to work, that's the good news. The bad news is the new look. It's 10:30 and I'm going to bed and tackle the rest of this job tomorrow. There may be no posting as I have appointments throughout the day and I might not have the time after getting this thing to behave.
I may have to upgrade to the next level of server so I have a bunch of space to expand, but I don't know if I can afford it. We'll see.
G'night.
