I got a dreamhost account, and I tried switching over the DB and website to them but it failed ):. All data is secure though, and I have backups. Temporarily I've rerouted everything to the old server, but the DB is moved over, just not working, and I'd rather not have to reupload it.
Details:
Everything at first went smoothly. I set up an empty DB for the backend, installed Mediawiki and moved everything over only to get an error. I found out I had to update to mediawiki 1.13.x from 1.11.x. Easy enough I thought, so I ran the update on the dreamhost account only to get an MySQL error. So, I updated my local copy and it worked fine. Sooo, I decided to copy over the new local DB to dreamhosts servers and test it with the local site rather than change the DNS records again. It said it couldn't connect to the DB last I checked even though I added an exception to allow my IP to connect to the DB. That was about 4AM Tuesday. So, I'll try to upload the working copy of the CLUMP and then connect it to the DB it was using to see if that works.
