Turns out the error is due to using a 32 bit OS/Hardware for the test.

LJ to DW conversion steps
- Create dj user.
- Downloaded bootstrap.pl
- apt-get install mercurial
- perl bootstrap.pl
- Edited etc/config-local.pl
- Edited etc/config-private.pl
- Looked over etc/config.pl
- Ran checkconfig.pl
- apt-get install libclass-accessor-perl libclass-autouse-perl libclass-trigger-perl libgnupg-interface-perl libhtml-template-perl perlmagick libmail-gnupg-perl
- apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-apreq2 libapache2-request-perl
- a2enmod apreq
- a2disite default
- added /etc/apache2/conf.d/stage
/etc/apache/conf.d/stage: User dj Group dj UseCanonicalName off StartServers 1 MaxSpareServers 2 MinSpareServers 1 DocumentRoot /home/dj/htdocs PerlSetEnv LJHOME /home/dj PerlPassEnv LJHOME PerlRequire /home/dj/cgi-bin/modperl.pl
- Installed via CPAN Captcha::reCAPTCHA,HTML::Tiny
- ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=all
- Had to go in, and manually delete the table 'subs' (it was empty), and recreate the table from the update-db-general.pl file.
- ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=all again.
- wait wait wait for huge log2 table conversion
- ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=1 and --cluster=2 for good measure
- ./update-db.pl -p -r
At this point going to dj.dmz.vadept.com/~scsi forwards me to scsi.dj.dmz.vadept.com (whew) and displays my journal as expected. However when viewing comments I get the following error.
Turns out the error is due to using a 32 bit OS/Hardware for the test. I guess I'll have to move out of 2001 and spend the $20 for some new 64 bit hardware. :)
Working on a 64 -> 32 patch since Amazon AWS charges like 4 times more for a 64 bit instance vs a 32 bit instance. Will post more when information becomes available.
