Identify the last working commit and the changes introduced by the failed release. Take a current backup before rollback and check whether the database schema remains compatible with the older code. Pause new deployments during recovery.

1. Record the currently deployed commit and error symptoms. Inspect release notes or migration scripts for data changes that affect rollback compatibility.
2. Prepare a reviewed revert or known-good release through the project’s normal Git workflow. Use a new revert commit when preserving shared history is the appropriate approach.
3. Test the recovery release against a safe copy of the current database and configuration. Keep uploads and other persistent data outside destructive copy or cleanup tasks.
4. Deploy the approved recovery commit through the same verified cPanel deployment process and inspect every task result.
5. Test critical user actions, monitor logs and document any data reconciliation still required. Resume normal deployment only after the incident is understood.

The application should operate with the intended recovered code and current valid data. Confirm recent orders, user uploads and messages remain present rather than judging success from an older homepage.

If the older code cannot use the new schema, a forward fix may be safer than restoring an old database over new transactions. Do not use a blanket file reset or database restore without a data-preservation plan.

No. A deployment script may have changed generated files, run migrations or contacted another service. Inventory those effects explicitly and recover each through its own supported procedure.
