So, my instances have been offline for the better part of a month, and I haven’t had a lot of time or energy to fix the problem I caused trying to update to 4.2.1.
At what point is it not worth restoring an instance and best to just start from scratch? I don’t want to end up burning more domains and user names, but it’s a question since a lot of that stuff doesn’t get purged I don’t think from other servers, specifically the encrypted keys and identity information.
Just could use some help if possible, thanks folks.
Why do you need to get a new domain? you can reuse the old one surely.?
Can’t you export the data, keep the old media directories, and import it all into a new install?
I’ve only just updated to 4.2.x because of my worry of trying to upgrade ruby, which wasn’t a smooth process, and I’ve probably got 3 damn copies of ruby in different parts of my filesystem, but apart from that, it was a smooth upgrade after that fiasco.
