Root Directory Issues for my wordpress site (GoDaddy)

  • Hey There,

    I am not sure if this is a particular www.remarpro.com issue but I hope someone here can help me. As of right now I am having two seperate issues one arose from trying to fix the other.

    The first issue, I am trying to fix is that I deleted my index.php file in my ‘Root Directoy’ folder in my file manager (godaddy) and I believe it has caused my entire site (besides my homepage) to go into maintenance mode and only show white screen. I haven’t been able to retrieve this deleted index.php file and don’t know how to replicate it. I am not even entirely sure if that is what caused all my other posts and pages to go into maintenance mode.

    The second issue was my original problem I was trying to fix that caused ‘the first issue’ in this support thread. I was trying to move my ‘wordpress’ sub folder’s index.php to my ‘httpdocs’ folder to make more URL istudiomo.com not show maintenance white screen. I was doing this because my site istudiomo.com/wordpress was working perfectly I just wanted to change the url. I moved the index.php file and altered the ‘required’ line by adding /wordpress . When this didn’t work I tried to delete this index and get my file manager back to its original standing but accidentally deleted the index.php in the ‘root directory’ folder instead of my ‘httpdocs’ folder and thus ‘the first issue’ of this thread was born.

    Please if anyone could assist me either problem I would be extremely grateful.

    Thank You,
    Andrew

  • Hello Andrew,

    If you are referring to the index,php on wordpress then all index.php in wordpress are the same… just upload it again.

    you can’t just migrate the entire wordpress from istudiomo.com/wordpress tp istudiomo.com by just migrating the files. the url on the database must be change too.

    Thanks for your reply Alen.

    I’m not the most educated on these matters but I don’t believe I am referring to the index.php for wordpress.

    I’ve copy and pasted a different index.php from the ‘wordpress’ sub-folder into the the original and parent folder ‘Root directory’ that holds all the files in the file manager for GoDaddy with no result. My pages on my website are still in the maintenance error.

    With my little knowledge on these subject it appears as though this original index in the ‘root directory’ parent folder I mistakenly deleted had different code in it than the wordpress indexes.

    Once this issue is taken care of I will look into your words on the migration of the site,

    As for now Thank You for your feedback. I’ll continue to look into a solution.
