SZ Home. Me alone here. MAN is back in Penang, spending most of his time with his parents. It’s good time for a dieting plan when MAN isn’t around.

The new wordpress admin is a playground, everything looks cute and organize. I have one hosted on my own pc for testing and wanted the playground on my blog too. So last Saturday, I finally got in the mood to work on the upgrade.

I was too lazy to go through all the upgrade documentation, and thought it should be as straightforward as installing a new one. But the lucky thing is I did a full backup, my database and files.

It’s the moment to run the upgrade script after replacing all new version files…

I got a blank page. Refreshed. Still blank. Check the code, replace the files, checking file permission… I did everything I thought can be the cause but nothing happen. I thought of reverse the upgrade by restoring the backup file, I see script error. Looking at every possibility to bring my blog back but when I look at the db structure, I know I screwed up.

But hey… It’s just a blog. So I took my own sweet time to fix the mess. That’s why a blank white page for more than a week.

I learned a lesson here, never underestimate.
