Bad News...

I made a very, very stupid mistake and in my haste mistyped rm -rf on the wrong directory. Removing all wiki pages. Fortunately I had a backup... from 11 hours ago. 

Please don't kill me...

Good news! It looks like I was able to restore 'old revisions' and all is well. Phew....

I hulked out so fast.  Actually it would have been fine; I keep like ten tabs open with all the various pages I"ve worked on, so it would have been a simple copy-paste maneuver (except for tables). 

Now, what did we learn about always doing everything as root, dearies?

[Kralik]

It's not so much root as it is my mistype. But I do unfortunately have to mess with root a lot because the server pages are owned by www-data and not kralik. Blah.

[Kralik]

Followed it up by accidentally deleting the changes pages as well. I'm not going to bother putting them back.

EDIT: I need to take a break from my coding fest. Too much, too soon, too many mistakes.

so log in as www-data and chown to kralik.  what's the issue?

[Kralik]

They need to be writable by www-data. So it's more like sudo whenever I need to edit/copy files. Can't su to www-data without going through root anyway. Regardless... both were a PEBKAC error.

argh!  alright, so it looks like a significant amount of table-hacking was, in fact, lost. -_-  At least I've done it once already...shouldn't be as hard this time.

[TelTura]

Ah, false alarm.  Looks like about 90% of recent changes are still there (and the other 10% I've got saved in my tabs); rather, what's screwed up is the Wraith icon....see this pastebin for an explanation, since the forum autolinker messes with posting it here.

False-false alarm.  All the info was, in fact, lost from the last day or so, but I was eventually able to cobble it all together.  We are now back to where we were at yesterday, content-wise.
