Site Issues
My day was going much too perfectly yesterday. The boys had a wonderful day, they were angels in the store, helped me me do some planting in the garden, and no fighting. I was making a dent in the laundry which was a huge plus because I had fallen behind when I was sick. So perfect! Thats when it happened. I went to do a post on my site and I get “error establishing a database connection.”
I didn’t go into immediate panic because I just assumed that my host was having a few issues. So I waited, got dinner ready, and called my husband to see if he was on the way home. I told him about the site being down and then he goes in that tone “uhhhh that’s not good.” I instantly felt panic because he proceeds to tell me he updated some things for his nephew’s site etc. And then I felt a bit sick because I haven’t yet backed up my site. So, the perfect day tanked right then and there. The night was long, and it turns out the host could restore my data as of 4/25, so we went with that. Thankfully my pages were cahced in google, so I could get my posts back! And the lesson learned is…I will faithfully back up everything to avoid a heart attack from now on!
The adrenaline from worrying all night, has made me so incredibly tired! Amazing how the body responds to stress. Anyway, I am back with a few more grey hairs on my head as a result. Ugh!
Glad you were able to get it all sorted out. I would die if I lost my blogs, so I can imagine how you must have felt to see it all gone.
Site issue? I have those! I hate that, “Uhhhhhh….” It’s called a husband who “helps” me by updating MY computer. I lost an entire lesson plan (about 100 pages of Word and Excel) I’d been working on for several days. No warning or I would have saved everything. And this was not the first time he did it. (I lost 2 term papers when he “updated” our Microsoft Office.) But it will be last. I told him next time I get the “new” updates I’ll get a “new” husband. (Sounds like I’m over-reacting, but, no. No.)
LOL That so sounds like my husband every time he updates something it results in a big problem or something gets broke. I yelled at mine and told him not to update my stuff.
