Revision as of 14:14, 8 September 2020
, 14:14, 8 September 2020→A New Version of Wordpress
But I should really do a full backup and everything first, so that isn't going to happen today.
==A New Version of Reviewing Wordpress==
===Overview===
I might be able to upgrade my version of PhP without upgrading Ubuntu (see https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-php-on-ubuntu-18-04/). However, it is probably a good idea to just fix everything...
==Upgrading Linux==
So it turns out that I shouldn't have done that last update... I do have an Xwindows Server on the box, running Gnome, and now I can't log in using the GUI on the box itself (it loops back to the login screen). This box doesn't contain the GPUs, just the database server, so the GUI isn't key, but it would be nice to have it working again. Hopefully, an upgrade will fix that, as well as other issues.
===Backing off===
First, mount the USB drive. Find what's mounted and what the dev is:
mount -t ext4
(or just mount for everything)
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/usb*
(or fdisk -l or lsblk)
mkdir -p /media/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb
Do the backup
mkdir /media/usb/mother-2020-08-09
mkdir /media/usb/mother-2020-08-09/bulk
rsync -av --progress --exclude="mcnair" /bulk/ /media/usb/mother-2020-08-09/bulk/
Finally:
umount /media/usb
==Wordpress Redux==
===Install===
