After server update I cannot login to wp-admin

  • Hi. Server which hosts my wp site went down over night. They changed the system, and now I cannot login anymore to admin area of wp. Page shows fine otherwise, just login and admin is off.

    Af first I was not able to see even https://……./wp-login.php, but then I chnaged its attributes from 646 to 644, and now I can see login screen.

    But after logging in, I get “The webpage cannot be found” on https://……../wp-login.php. Clicking “back” on browser gives me “Not Found” on https://……./wp-admin/.

    Writing comments also does not work, gives “Page not found” error.

    Probably some other things are not working either.

    In /wp-admin/ directory I have .htaccess file added from before, because on previous system I was not able to login to Tags page in admin.:
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>

    How do I proceed?

    thank you.

  • This may or not help but I had a similar prob, but not with my server.
    I found that I could access my admin through a side door-domain/wp-admin/options-general.php.But I found I still had problems in getting kicked out when trying to publish post, ended up reinstalling wordpress.

    I see… I tried directly opening pages in wp admin folder, which I see over FTP, but none works. Allways “Not found”.

    One thing is, that I have another wp site on same server, and that one was moved well, all works. But it is older wp, 2.3.1. This one is 2.5.1 and admin is not accesible.

    Raeinstall would probably work, but I’d rather not. What if anything goes reall wrong and I loose it all? I’d rather make it work now, and then update.

    OK, I changed all files in admin folder to 644, then renamed folder and copied all files again in from backup.

    Now dashboard works again.

    Before I copied renamed admin folder, and copied files from backup, but prior to changing them all to 644 it didn’t work.

    Comments are still not working. And i noticed thumbnails in Organizer plugin do not show. Possibly some other things are not working yet.

    It seems I still need to do some things. Any ideas? What more do I need to do. Change all files from 646 to 644, and re-upload from backup? Does this make sense?

    So, now I manually changed all 646 files into 644. And now all works fine.

    Only one thing – in Organizer plugin, it doesn’t show picture thumbs. I wonder how to fix that. Before it worked, now it just shows white square with red X.

    Any idea?
