    @Ramhound It wasn't a website but rather a local blog on a Linux server back then in year 2005... So yes, your observation that the original site was extremely small is correct. Can you elaborate on the database dump that I can import? Note: I no longer have access to that MySQL 4.1.14 and I don't know where I can download it from. Thank you

  • WordPress isn’t a website? Alright, was the WordPress instance, extremely small? If you did not dump the database in 2005 there is nothing you can do. What are the contents of the files you do have?

    Is there a reason you're not using some flavour of MySQL 8 (or MariaDB) for a fresh install? 5.7 support ended last year...

    @Ramhound by website I mean exposed to the Internet. My WordPress instance was on my LAN only, more like a diary rather than publicly visible blog. :)

    @jcaron Yes, the reason is that I want to minimize migration issues. The 5.7 fresh install is only running on my laptop, unexposed to the Internet.
