Here is how I would try it:
- take a mysql-dump of your old database to
your new server
- run datagard from command line and update your DB, this "should" convert your data as
good as possible (it's quite a huge step from 1.4.4 to 8.09.3), should
deal with the guid-thing and add a lot of fields to your tables
- datagard also gives you the option to create a virtual host for your
site plus it will install all necessary pear modules for newer
midgard-features

nope, they should all still be there, the old API is still supported
with 8.09. You can even go on using Asgard, SpiderAdmin or Aegir if
you like (make sure you enable register_globals and
register_long_arrays for PHP)
Only a few things have changed, mostly I noticed $midgard behaving
sometimes different than $_MIDGARD - use $_MIDGARD whenever
possible...

You could set apache's and midgard's log-level to debug to see whats
going on, but probably your setup is not complete (does your vhost
have a symlink to some midcom-static directory?) datagard "should" do it
all for you, usually...

We support guids and uuids these days.
So guid is at least 32 and at most 80 characters long.

This works as always. At least I know nothing about any issues.

Last but not least, compile php5-midgard with --with-legacy-api=yes option.

Documentation bug. Use midgard_query_builder. We do not use CamelCases.
I'll update docs asap.
