Can't you explain, how to migrate from one hosting to another, but I want to save my entries.

So, how to export/import entries form S9y?

That deponds on your current blog, of course.

What are you using?

now using s9y, suddenly updated it to 0.9.4 - and migrating to s9y 0.8.4

(changed hosting provider)

Why do you want to downgrade Serendipity? I recommend to simply use the same version on the new host!

It is not recommended to downgrade, because the DB scheme can be imcompatible to previous versions of s9y. Our automatic upgrader only is used for one-way upgrading (from older to newer).

There should be no reason for you to use 0.8.4 instead of 0.9...?

Just a side note... I think Dhaundrin's referring to 0.9 alpha-4 as '0.9.4'
but this is not the correct way of saying it, not to mention misleading.
Maybe it should be shortened to 0.9a4.

Yes, 0.9a4

I can't work normall with sparatcus in this version. Also, 0.9a4 have some troubles with installation (may be this was access bug, but...), when i tried it...

And I didn't have any problems with 0.8.4 ever)

We should focus on fixing your problems in 0.9.a4 instead of you backgrading. This would also help our release process a lot.

I just tried to move the content of my own blog from my current single installation to my new shared installation. I thought that the import function would be the way to go, but there is no "s9y import".

The RSS export/import is no option, since it will loose some information (eg the media database, extended entries, categories, ...).

Any obvious solution I missed (short from hacking some SQL together)?

Right, a s9y is not really required because you can usually just copy your SQL database and the serendipity_config_local.inc.php files to your shared installation path.

After you copied the files and edited serendipity_config_local.inc.php with the right new information, you can go to the admin panel and (if needed) adjust the new URLs/Paths.

Garvin,

Thanks a lot, I took the SQL route. Not elegant, but efficient

Maybe "Import from another s9y blog" should be a feature for an upcoming s9y version. It would help build up competition amongst s9y hosters (yes, I'm building one up right now

).
