Back up again…
Can you please remind me not to get any hair brained ideas before I have had an adequate supply of coffee in the mornings again?
I thought I would trash my current hodge podge under www and replace it with an svn checkout of Wordpress so I could update it easier and participate in development but instead of copying the public_html directory I copied the www symlink, then after a rm -rf * in public_html I discovered that Subversion wasn’t even installed on the server so I shrugged and thought I’d restore from the “backup” and raise a support ticket to get SVN installed.
Then I realized my error and had to raise another support ticket to install my home directory from a backup, which gratefully Tim just completed for me and everything seems to be back up fine.
Now next time I am going to plan that move just a little bit better!
