Whoops.

That “runaway MySQL process” was actually an “updating WordPress databases after upgrading to WordPress 2.01″ MySQL process, and didn’t need to be stopped and restarted. Oopsie!

It ate a couple of posts from both SunHELP and this weblog. I had to grab them from the cache in MarsEdit and re-post.

Is this a normal part of a 2.0 to 2.01 upgrade, because I can’t find anything about it in the upgrade documents.

Oh, another question about the upgrade - the documents on the blog are all “backup, disable plugins, manually remove all these files, then untar, then run the upgrade script, then upgrade all your plugins, then enable them one by one and test everything”. The documents in the actual tarball download are just “untar, run the upgrade script, you’re done.” Did you do the pussy way or the commando way?

My upgrade method:

- Download latest WP. Uncompress. Make tar file of wordpress/* as “wp.tar”

# cd /weblog
# tar xvf src/wp.tar ; chown -R nobody:nobody *

then I hit http://weblog.mrbill.net/wp-admin/upgrade.php with a browser.

Repeat process for /sunhelp, /machelp, and /fiftieshouse. End of story.
