A file with the trustworthy name &#8220;DEADJOE&#8221;.

During the move, I had to change the database access data of WordPress and simply used the editor function of Midnight Commander.<\/p>\n<p>On our server, this uses &#8220;joe&#8221; by default to edit the files. It was much more difficult to use than &#8220;vim&#8221;, so I closed the terminal after I couldn&#8217;t save and exit. In such a case, or when the software crashes, the file in question is created.  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEADJOE file?
