I Broke Our Website by the ID10T Error
Posted by nathan on 19 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Tech Stuff.
Today I was upgrading a test site on our server, and I accidentally sent the files to New Hope’s live site instead.
The result?
I crashed our website for about 20 minutes until I wised up and was able to restore the files via backup.
O Crap.
So, I have the website back up and running, and now I am working on restoring the rest of what I screwed up so badly…
O, the joy of upgrading. 
On the test site, I am working on upgrading our website from the Joomla! 1.0.x codebase to the 1.5.x codebase. This is a considerable upgrade, and it isn’t fully compatible–you actually cannot ‘upgrade,’ but you have to ‘migrate.’ 1.5 is pretty nice and fixes a lot of the limiting errors we’ve faced in the 1.0.x codebase for some time.
More Joomla! news tomorrow…
UPDATE: 20 minutes after posting this, I literally did the exact same thing again.
