Accidentally Deleted This Tumbleblog's Files While Trying Out BellaBuffs
I just made an embarrassing mistake — for a brief moment, I accidentally deleted this tumbleblog's files from its server on InfinityFree, causing this tumbleblog down. 🫢
I was trying to learn and test how to create a fanlisting with BellaBuffs, and attempting to upload the BellaBuffs files to another subdomain of leilukin.com on InfinityFree via FTP. Prior to this, I was trying out Erin's fork of Enthusiast, but I encountered a critical issue: whenever I tried to add a fanlisting I joined, the entire home page of my fanlisting collective went blank.
The reason I ended up deleting this tumbleblog's files by accident was that I did not pay attention to the current remote location when I connected to it via FTP on WinSCP — I thought I was in the folder of the other subdomain used for fanlistings, and I wanted to delete the Enthusiast files from the fanlisting subdomain, but turned out I was actually in the folder of this tumbleblog. I only realised my error after visiting tumbleblog.leilukin.com, and getting redirected to InfinityFree 403 Forbidden page as the index file got deleted. 🤦♀️
Fortunately, the MySQL database that stored this tumbleblog's posts and pages remained intact, and I still had the Chyrp Lite files that included my custom blog theme designed to match my main site in my computer, and created a local Git repository for this tumbleblog. Therefore, the only steps I needed to take to restore this tumbleblog was reuploading my Chyrp Lite files and reinstall Chyrp Lite, and now Leilukin's Hub Tumbleblog is back to normal.
In case you are curious, I also managed to set up a fanlisting with BellaBuffs on InfinityFree and test out its functionalities, but it is not ready to launch by any means yet, especialy since I only just submitted an application form to The Fanlistings Network for this fanlisting and is waiting for approval.
