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。
