Back In Belgium

17 May 2006

Okay, I’m back in my homeland. The visit to London was great. I’ll write about that in my next and extended post.

Some of you might have seen some weird things happening with this blog. It merged to a new server and the server backup had been made last week. Luckily I backed up WordPress yesterday morning before I left. So when I got back I had to go to the wizzard and make him upload the .sql file to overwrite the previous backup.

I’d like to warn all WP bloggers. Your SQL interface in the MyPHPadmin only restores backup files until 2.048 kb. My file was 2.9Mb, so we had to upload every category and table separately. Just so you know you’ll probably have to deal with that as well if you host your own blog. WP Backup (the one that’s built-in) also doesn’t backup images. I have them in a different folder so for me it was no problem. But if you’re uploading the images within your template, you’ll have a serious problem when you restore your backup. You’ll have an imageless blog.

Everything’s back in order, I still need to re-assign categories to the posts of the last 7 days. I’ll also get to that today. Posting will resume very soon. I’m doing a write-up of the Live.com roadshow right now. Thanks for your patience, sorry for any comments that got lost, I tried to restore everything I had.

UPDATE: Some comments and trackbacks aren’t here yet. They’re still in the backup file, I’ll try to have it fixed tomorrow.
