I'm getting the following error on my mySQL conversion process from Berkeley DB on running mt-db2sql.cgi. So it's connecting to the SQL database, but something's wrong, and I've been through mt.cfg over and over again, I don't know what's wrong.

I've got about three years worth of blogs I'd like to convert?

Thanks for any help...

Never mind, I solved it!

Here's what I did, which, perhaps either I'm not reading right or it's not very clear.

Before running mt-db2sql.cgi, edit your mt.cfg so that you aren't commenting out either the Berkeley DB "datasource" line, nor the rest, so it looks like:

DataSource /home/username/username/mt-db

ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database movabletype
DBUser movabletype
DBHost domain.com

Then run mt-db2sql.cgi

... it took a few minutes for the conversion of 3 years worth of blogs (800 entries).. there's no progress bar, but be patient, it's going.

After that, I commented out the Berkeley DB datasource line in mt.cfg and reuploaded it like so:

DataSource /home/username/username/mt-db

ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database movabletype
DBUser movabletype
DBHost domain.com

... and now, so far so good.. everything is honky-dory.

Thank you for your helpful solution! I haven't tried it yet, but I will do it later this evening when I convert to mySQL. Yes, the documentation doesn't make it very clear at times.

Thank polkaroo.
There is my result, but no data in mysql tables...

Done copying data from Berkeley DB to your SQL database! All went well.

Well, that solved my initial problem, but now I'm stuck waiting for mt-db2sql.cgi to do its thing. Methinks it's not going to happen.

I started the process almost two hours ago, and it got as far as importing 5 comments before, I don't know, I guess it stopped.

Has anyone else seen this happen before or know why it isn't completing its run? I have a lot of posts, but if polkaroo was able to do it with 800 posts, I should be golden...

Help! I'd love to switch to MySQL since it's something I'm (now) a lot more comfortable with.

I thought you might have saved me unfortunately I keep getting error messages
