Hi I am migrating from Nibbleblog to Bludit I currently have.

Bludit installed to:
www.domain.com/bludit/index.php

And have Nibbleblog installed to the root:
www.domain.com/index.php

When I have finished copying over content from Nibbleblog to Bludit is there anything I need to no about moving the directory.

- Can I just move contents of bludit folder to my root domain and it will work?
- Are there any setting's files I need to edit?

Thanks for the reply.

There is a tool for migrating Nibbleblog to Bludit:

Hi I just tried this tool and I dont think it worked I ran the tool on the nibbleblog script seemed to work then I got to the part where you download the zip file I did that all seemed to work fine exporting.

Now I upload the new.zip file to the the root of my Bludit install (so I no where it is) and unzip it to bl-content folder like instructed in the exporter and then I go to the website in my browser and no new content is displayed. I then go to the admin area of bludit and no pages, posts or anything else has been added so I guess it did not work.

Hi there!
Did you activate CLI mode?
Open the following file:

Code: Select all

{bludit-root-directory}\bl-kernel\boot\init.php
Then change the line:

define('CLI_MODE', false);
to
define('CLI_MODE', true);

Save the file and refresh your bludit page one time. You should now be able to see all
of your Nibbleblog Content. After this you can set the value of "CLI Mode" back to "false".

Ah, yes this works.
Just copy them, then go to adminpanel and
change the URL in "Advanced Settings" tab.
