Please Stand By

Posted on October 2, 2004 by D.C. Thornton

I don’t know what I did wrong, but I managed to screw up the WordPress installation here. I plan to get things back to normal as soon as possible.

Update: Thanks to Ben Yarbrough, I managed to re-install WordPress. All of the blog entries are here, ~~but most of the comments are history (due to a database glitch, and not of my own doing).~~

Update (10/4/04): Comments are fixed; cosmetic fixes are still in the works as time permits…

If I may, what happened? Is it the install or the database?

It’s the install; the database is OK.

Any suggestions?

you’ve got mail, I think (I tried)…

Anyway, what I suggested was (1) disable all your plugins and see if that helped.

What sort of error are you getting? I understand your front page isn’t what it was…

Then we can try (2a) or (2b).

DC, when I upgraded my comments went plooey… but there’s a way out.

If this doesn’t work, talk to me via email (maybe an IM? I have AIM) and I can help you through it hopefully.

The SQL query worked. Thanks again, Ben!
