I have local Wordpress database that got corrupt as a result of an abrupt power outage (I wasn't even editing it!).
Since the system I am dealing with is pretty static (and old), I just want to restore that database file (or collection of files) from a nightly backup.
But I don't know which files I should be restoring. The WordPress blog in question is installed under a local user account in an old Linux server (FC4).
I checked the wp-content directory, but apparently this is not where the content is:
~/public_html/wordpress/wp-content> ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 ww4s ww4s 32 Nov 18 2005 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 3 ww4s ww4s 4096 Jun 2 2006 plugins
drwxr-xr-x 4 ww4s ww4s 4096 Mar 10 2006 themes
Any idea which file(s) I should be restoring and what their path is?
Indeed, my version of WordPress is using MySQL, and the databases are stored in directories
/var/lib/mysql
- a path pointed to by the variabledatadir
in/etc/my.conf
(one directory per database). Thanks + 1 + Accepting. – WinWin – 2011-06-17T22:49:13.703
