Recovering the blog

Posted By: Fahad Published in Personal

Hey guys. As you all probably know, the site went down on 12th Feburuay and I have only gotten it back right now. Hosting issues again….My hosts server crashed and I lost everything but I had a backup as of 16th January so I am restoring them right now. Hopefully the process works without errors. I am working right now to bring everything back so you may see some errors here and there so please report to me if you find any. Dont report the broken images though as I will fix them tomorrow. I need to find the images on my HDD first.

Update: I have restored all the posts. The comments are included within the posts now and I can’t change that since it will take too much time. I will restore the rest of the blog(theme, plugins, ads ) tomorrow, as I am too tired right now. I have spent the last 4 hours getting everything up as it is right now. Maybe if I get some free time tonight I will do the rest of the stuff tonight as well.

Huh! Yesterday I visited this site and it looked like it was new. I left a comment on ‘hope you like blogging’ or something like that. should have known better, I think I have been to your site before, but yesterdya I didn’t realize it. Well hi anyway, and sorry about the the crash or the site was down, and I look foward to seeing everything in perfect working order again!

I was just installing wordpress then and didn’t even see your comment. I deleted the default post so I guess your comment got deleted with it.

That’s ok, because it wasn’t how your real bloglooked anyway.

Good to see you back, but what was the issue for blog crashing? Which hosting are you using?

Fahad Says, on 3-10-2008

The issue was with the hosting provider. I am not sure what exactly though as they didn’t even provide an explanation. I am with a different host now.

Can you please tell me which host you were with.

I use online blog backup “check on google” they are pretty good they just got out of beta

I’m glad that you are back. It’s pretty ironic that most our blogs had down time in March/Feb. I and couple of my friends had downtimes as well. Weird!

Who is your host BTW?

Fahad Says, on 3-12-2008

@Gadgets
I was with Umxhost.

@Technology News
That is precisely the backup site that I had my posts stored on. I restored them from there though I had to manually restore the posts which had the in it, cause they got cut off.

@Thilak
Yeah, but your downtime was only for 22 hours whereas mine was for 22 days. lol.
And I am currently with a friends server now.
