overwrote the index.php file in the root folder?
#
Meatwad[m]
thats probably it!
#
Meatwad[m]
lemme look
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
Meatwad[m] was that the issue?
#
Meatwad[m]
apparently not
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
what are you seeing? white screen? new install screen? something else?
#
Meatwad[m]
i just rsynced back over the backup /var/www/ directory so all of it should match what was working prevsiouslt
#
Meatwad[m]
just a 404 for the index entirely
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
htaccess file have things in it?
#
Meatwad[m]
nginx
#
Meatwad[m]
not apache
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
WordPress 404 as if a page isn't found or server level 404
#
Meatwad[m]
and the server block is correct

[tw2113_Slack_]

Meatwad[m]

#
Meatwad[m]

#
[tw2113_Slack_]

#
[tw2113_Slack_]

#
[tw2113_Slack_]

#
Meatwad[m]

#
[tw2113_Slack_]

#
Meatwad[m]

Meatwad[m]

#
Meatwad[m]

😄
#
Meatwad[m]
i have since ran through the other obvious checklist of wsod things like themes and plugins
#
Meatwad[m]
ive made a proper mess of this, its probably easier for me to start over than attempt to fix at this point
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
nginx is great and awesome when it's working, but i do tend to fear having to touch its configurations
#
Meatwad[m]
i feel the same way about apache2
lucci joined the channel
#
Meatwad[m]
got it
#
Meatwad[m]
i was recovering from being hacked, there was nasty php in the index still left
#
Meatwad[m]
they got in via multisite bbpress
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
my word that content 😛
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
glad you found it
#
Meatwad[m]
it was a bad joke taken way too far
#
Meatwad[m]
it will never have actual nsfw content
#
Meatwad[m]

#
[tw2113_Slack_]

#
Meatwad[m]

#
Meatwad[m]

And here I thought that my chicken feed at https://boffosocko.com/kind/chicken/feed/ was cool... How could you give up cynicalchicken.net [tw2113_Slack_]?!

mostly good purpose at this point, it was a really early attempt at me doing a self hosted, tumblr, where i just posted 1 image i found funny. That said, the domain is available if you want to do a redirect to your link above 🙂

[tw2113_Slack_]

i hope i got the math correct enough to determine current status for reading challenges. I've read X books out of Y target for the year. Right now, am I on track, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule?"
#
Meatwad[m]
i havent attempted a reading challenge like that since i was a child
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
25 a year seems to be ideal for me
#
Meatwad[m]
i read about the equivelent of that of text. just infrequently books these days
#
Meatwad[m]
more often its research journals or tech stuff or news
