I upgraded php, Perl, MySQL, WordPress, and other applications on my server and discovered that the upgrades had completely wiped out all my SQL databases. No blog. Sweet mother of pearl.
Fortunately, I had backed everything up just before the upgrade.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the restore to work.
As you can see, I did finally get everything working again with the help of the excellent tech support people at WestHost. For a while I thought I was going to have to put everything back in manually. I still have some serious cleanup and repairs to do, but it’s not nearly as bad as it could have been.
