Oh I am so glad for telling you this news because last night I was able to bring this blog back online after about 2 days inaccessible. This was happening because I was trying to fix 500 internal server error that this blog had, after gave several shots to fix the problem I gave up and decided to delete the database and hostname and make a new WP blog, but my mistake was I didn’t backup SQL dump files but relied on WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) files because I prefer to do “import” directly from dashboard rather than importing SQL dump files to MySQL.
Another problem came up because I didn’t check the Maximum size for WXR set by my hosting is 7MB, when my WXR file is 8MB. So I got to increase the upload_max_filesize in PHP.ini to 8Mb. Then I contacted my hosting support to increase the max upload filesize but they said they can’t give technical support for this but direct me their wiki page, in there I will meet a tutorial to increase upload_max_filesize.
I visited the page and studied the tutorial, I was asked to make a cgi-bin folder and transfer it to my public_html via FTP, because in this cgi-bin I should place to files using my text editor which are:
- script wrapper
- php.ini
And the third file was a .htaccess and I must put it inside my root directory.
And inside the php.ini I will be able change the limited number of WXR file size and script wrapper will tell my hosting of changes inside php.ini file.
But I knew is going to be fail because I am using OS Windows and my hosting based on Linux, thus the valid text editor to write this 2 files must be in Linux text editor such as Nano, Vi, Pico, my Windows text editors like notepad and wordpad won’t help me this time.
Instead of installing OS linux just to get their text editor I prefer to make the 3 files directly from my internal FTP hosting, so I login to my hosting cpanel and visit my ftp and put the above 3 files there and all done!
And the result is SEO Blog is up and running awesomely! Oh I am so glad!
