Wordpress migration (mostly) complete
-Wordpress 2.9.2
-Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Profile
I moved a working site onto my linode and the posts are showing up just fine. Where I'm having trouble is in creating new posts. When I create a draft, the content of the post is not saved to the database–the title, user and other info are saved but not the text of the post.
I've checked my apache2 error.log and there's no mention of a problem.
Any ideas what may be wrong?
Thanks!

@jed:
Can MySQL write to its database? Does the Wordpress user you have configured have the proper grants to the entire database that Wordpress lives in?
Thanks for your response!
I am able to login to the Wordpress admin and create a draft post. When I go to edit the post, the title, author (me) and date information is there but nothing shows up in the content window.
When I open mysql and view the data for this specific post in wpposts, the wpcontent field is blank–it's not saving the post content.
That's interesting, and sounds like a Wordpress bug. I've got nothing, other than that – as long as Wordpress's user has the proper grants to that table, what you're describing should work fine…
Bizarre.

The only column that isn't populated is the content?

Agreed. I'm going to re-install Wordpress 2.9.2 to see if it resolves the issue. I'll report back with the result.
Jed, thanks for the input.
