Though kudos to the WP Dev’s, I modified the wp-config file and set all the options (including a different database table prefix), and then I put all my plugins back in to place, and took the time to upgrade a couple I needed to do. Finally, after a deep breatth, I ran what would normally be the installer, which said “Your database needs updating”.

And that was all, so considering my potentially costly foul-up, things actually went very well :) I’m quite impressed!

It has a healthy 1GB RAM (much better than the 384 I used to have!). And everything seems to be running smoothly.

I did have possibly the most unusual method of moving my blog over – in that I zipped up the directory, moved it over to the new VPS, and imported the database, same for the apache2 settings. Luckily, 98% of it went without a hitch! A few issues with virtual hosts and mod_rewrite, but that’s all.

I now have a constant IRC presence, because I’m no longer limited by the VPS provider on what I can and can’t use (gotta love having a friend with a server!). And yes – it’s running Ubuntu 8.04 Server ;)
