今天花了点时间把本Blog升级到MovableType 4.2 Pro。之前使用的是MovableType 4.14 Personal。
这个4.2 Pro版本是前几天发布的，今天才有时间做了升级。
下面简单介绍一下DavidYin升级系统的过程。
1）备份
最重要的准备工作就是备份，我的备份共有三部分。
备份数据库，是通过phpmyadmin来做的，把整个数据库给备份下来。
备份文章，是通过MovableType自己的Export功能来做的。
备份所有的文件，就是通过SSH登录主机，然后用tar命令把所有的静态文件，包括MT自身的系统文件全部打包压缩，备份下来。
做外这三步，基本上就不会担心之后的升级有错误了，一旦升级失败，可以恢复到原状。
2）升级
升级的方法我是在主机直接操作的。
SSH登录主机；
wget http://www.movabletype.com/downloads/blogger/MT-4.2-en.tar.gz
下载系统；
tar xzvf MT-4.2-en.tar.gz
解压缩；
cd MT-4.2-en
cp -f . ~/your site/mtcgi
覆盖原有的MT系统文件。
然后当登入MT系统时，会提示升级。
点击"Begin Upgrade"后，会要求输入帐号密码，然后开始升级数据库。
数据库的升级包括下面这些项目：
* Upgrading database from version 4.0036.

点击"Return to Movable Type"，进入MovableType系统主界面。
至此，系统升级完成了。
3）重建模板
我是首先应用系统自身的模板，以替换原有的模板，同时备份原来的模板。
之后再一点点的修改，做到同原来的样子一样。目前还没有计划重做模板。
其实最先的第一第二步，我只花了大约15分钟，可是之后的重建模板却用了约1个小时。
最后重建所有的单页归档文件，用时13分10秒。
升级系统后，第一次测试留言。
