Migrating and upgrading -baffled by the database schema
Permalink
Hi C5 Folks. Ok here's the deal: I had to move my client's site to a new webhost--and I needed to do the upgrade on concrete to 5.5.1.
Now the thing that baffles me is that I don't want to import the whole old database. (that might pull in the old server info and files structure - which I don't want.) I only want the content that was on the pages of the old site. Clue me in . Where in those 125 tables of the database do I get the content of the blocks and the layouts? which tables am I looking for?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "old server info and files structure"? if you are using the content block then the table btContentLocal would have your html content, I think the best way is just to pull the old database in, why wouldn't that work for you?
Man I am quickly losing patience for Concrete5. So I reinstalled the new version and am having to reconstruct the pages since I was getting nothing but broken file links when transferring over the old database.
So I started with a fresh install on the database.
Now when I go back to edit a block I keep getting a "duplicate entry" mysql error!
Really? It's a totally new block how in the hanna is this happening?
I'm kinda thinking I could have had this website up and loaded with a custom template in half the time - had I used wordpress.
But honest I want to love concrete5 but so far I'm kinda waivering on this...
