Jlulian’s Stuff

So just today, I lost some of my precious precious data. The old copy of this blog. Oh how I long for that single placeholder post, and those endless streams of racist comments.

Today I decided to log into the wordpress(for the first time in months) and it’s flashing and beeping at me to update. So I try. Download the new version. And try to just copy it over the current folder(which should work, I think) but. BUT. My wordpress directory managed to get set to permissions of d———. Such that noone using the FTP service could update it. And I have no shell access to the website, so I couldn’t get come in and go “su chmod 664 wordpress” or whatever.

Worse so than just screwing up the wordpress installation though(I can just do it in another directory, like right now). Is the fact that I can’t get my database infomation back out of the configuration files because the permissions are set to d———(000?) so the precious config.php is in there. And it’s not like I can just go and use default settings for the website, because I don’t have any. So now I’m sad, and without my placeholder of a post and endless reams of racist comments.

So yeah.
