http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/675/0 en http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/getting-rid-blogger <p>So time had come to move all my other blogs to drupal and move them away from blogger.<br /> When I migrated this blog from dotclear to Drupal I found a php script that grabbed all the content from my dotclear setup and migrated it to a fresly installed drupal. I was hoping to find a similar tool for Blogger .</p> <p>Well no such luck .. most of the links I found instructed me to first install wordpress, use the import functionality of wordpress then migrate from wordpress to Drupal.</p> <p>Setting up a Wordpress and importing the Blogger postings took me about 10 minutes. Then the hunt for a WordPress to Drupal migration tool started .. first I ran into into a binary one that seemed to be able to connect too my database but couldn't find the wordpress databases. Next I ran into a drupal module that only worked on 4.6 But luckily at last I ran into <a href="http://dojotoolkit.org/~ktiedt/wp2drupal5.tar.gz" title="http://dojotoolkit.org/~ktiedt/wp2drupal5.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">http://dojotoolkit.org/~ktiedt/wp2drupal5.tar.gz</a> A drupal module that works with 5.X well. not sure if it does .X but at least with .1 .. (as one of the tests I ran waas on a 5.2 and it failed there) </p> <p>So a couple of manual changes of users mappings , setting up new themes and some postings on the old blogs that there was a new feed to be subscribed to I was ready to go...</p> <p>Untill.. I couldn't log on to one of the blogs anymore .. I could ask for a onetime login session, ,manage from there .. then try to log on with the new password and promptly I was shown an Access Denied page . Weird..<br /> The watchdog logs told me that the logon was successfull. but the next entry told me that it was the anonymous user failing access to the protected pages .</p> <p>Thxn to gnat_x on #drupal_support I cleared my cookies and seemed to solve the issue.<br /> He told me he had seen issues before with settings where <a href="http://www.example.com" title="www.example.com" rel="nofollow">www.example.com</a> and example.com conflicted or it might have been beta.example.com and blog.example.com .. He was right.. so I`ll need to figure out how to set my base_url for the different drupals I have running :)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/getting-rid-blogger#comments blogger drupal Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:02:23 +0000 Kris Buytaert 535 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
