Notes
Upgrading from versions of the JumpBox for Movabletype versions prior to 1.1.13
Because of changes made in MovableType, there are some special considerations relating to upgrades from prior versions of this JumpBox when using the back and restore mechanism. Blogs are now organized into "Websites," and during the upgrade process, a Website object should be created and all existing blogs added to it. Unfortunately, this process does not quite work on some cases, and manual tweaking is required after the upgrade is completed.
- After the upgrade process has completed, go to the System Overview page. Click the "Websites" menu and the "Manage" item.
- Delete the Website with "0" in the "Blogs" column.
- Click on the name of the remaining website.
- In the "Settings" menu, click the "General" link.
- Edit the "Website URL" and change it to "http://IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME/"
- Save the change and republish the site.
Changing where the root URL points
By default, the JumpBox redirects web browsers that request the root url (http://mysite.com/) to /my_first_website/my_blog. This is done so that the JumpBox for MovableType is usable out of the box, but is probably suboptimal for continued use of MovableType. On versions of the JumpBox for MovableType 1.1.13 and up, a special file can be edited to change where the root URL points. The file is located at /jumpbox/etc/apache2/jumpbox-mt-bog and may be edited with the text editor of your choice, although you will need to use sudo. By default, the file contains the following text:
RewriteCond /jumpbox/var/widget-on !-f
RewriteCond /var/data/mt-blogs/my_first_website/my_blog -d
RewriteRule ^(/?|/index.(html|php|htm))$ /my_first_website/my_blog [R,L]
RewriteCond /jumpbox/var/widget-on !-f
RewriteRule ^(/?|/index.(html|php|htm))$ /my_blog [R,L]
This code can either be commented out by placing # symbols at the start of each line, or it may be deleted. The following should then be added to the file:
RewriteRule ^(/?|/index.(html|php|htm))$ /MY_URL [R,L]
Where MY_URL is the the intended target of the redirect.
