@gtwilson Ouch. A week for install woes? Hopefully yours will be over soon! :/
Yesterday I decided to install GNUSocial (via Softaculous.) It instantly wiped out my access to my web site, family email accounts and, crucially cPanel. In the end I needed help, and after a long process of elimination, had to edit my hosts file to regain access. @rabryst ably-assisted, but how the heck did a simple install screw that up?
(Rhetorical question, I don't want to know, I want instead to drink this glass of bourbon.) ;)
