My whole previous postings wiped-out!
It was a sad day for me. After about 150 posting articles and 1.5 year of work, my blog was completely wiped out. I attribute this incident to my own doing. It happened during my Wordpress upgrade from version 2.7 to version 2.7.1. And my mistake was doing the upgrade from within my cPanel admin area.
And for those of you who are either adventurous or foolish, like myself, take note, only upgrade from within Wordpress admin area. The rests of the methods are out of bounds.
I learned an expensive lesson and paid heavily for it. Still, life goes on.
For about a week, there was desperation to restore from my backup. Apparently, upgrading from the cPanel Admin area means, the total database was replaced and restoration is not possible even though the data files may be intact. Hence, I decided to start anew from fresh. As a way of appeasing myself, I now have a clean piece of the web space to start from scratch.
Of course, the appeasement did not come without some wallowing. For one whole week, my children didn’t come close to me or talked to me. They must have sensed my ‘mood’ and stayed away.
I have come to my senses and I decide to take action in spite of the defeat.
I will persist! in faith and in confidence. Malaysian Fabric Heritage is still alive!
Eddie, so sad to hear of this incident…
And thanks for sharing with the world! Yes, you’re right, nobody can change the past and so why should we carry the burden?
