No Home Page – Only Index Of/

  • So i was messing about with FTP today trying to clean up some old sites/ files I no longer use. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the wrong thing but didn’t realize until a bunch of stuff had already been lost. I stopped the delete process, but not quick enough to avoid damage. Now, loading my site’s home page results in a simply “Index of /” page.

    I’ve no idea what to do here. I’ve tried re-uploading the wp-config file, re-upload the files that were deleted (pretty sure I got them all) but nothing seems to be solving the problem. I’m completely stumped.

    Any help in fixing this would be GREATLY appreciated. The URL for my site is chroniclechamber.com

    Cheers

    I’ve tried changing the wp-config file and a few other things but nothing seems to be working. I’ve installed a new instance of WordPress so hopefully this will help.

    Any suggestions would still be much appreciated.

    Okay, so reinstaling/ uploading WordPress and fixing up the wp-config file has given me access to the home page with a broken theme. However, whenever I try to access the Dashboard I get the Index Of/ age again. Also, clicking on any posts results in a 404 Not Found error.

    I’ve taken this opportunity to move the site into it’s own director. However, going to both the root URL and the directory url (/CC2014) causes a blank page to load. However, I can get to the /CC2014/wp-admin page. Any ideas?

    I’ve deactivated all my plugins, reverted to the default theme AND added the debug code to the wp-config file and STILL I’m getting a blank screen.

    Can someone PLEASE help with this. I really need to get the site back up!

    That’s not good. Does your host have a backup of your site or server?

    Now, loading my site’s home page results in a simply “Index of /” page.

    That tells me that PHP is not getting executed. Definitely check with your host provider and ask them if .php is in the Directory section like so.

    <Directory /foo>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

    That’s just an example but see that second line? That should let PHP get executed by default. Also check if pointing directly to that index.php file executes PHP. If it does then you have just the Directory issue.

    If it doesn’t then PHP may have been loaded or selected via .htaccess and that’s missing too.

    Either speak to your host. It may be something straight forward. ??
