• Hi, im using last wordpress release and wamp 2.4, my installation was working perfectly for like 3 years. Last saturday i was posting and editing stuff on the site and i lost internet connection, just my isp having troubles, hours later i got my connection back but i coould not reach my site again.
    Site address: https://infiniti.ddns.net/wordpress/
    The only message i have is the ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
    I’m trying for 3 days to find out, whats wrong. This is what i tried until now:
    – Check the ports: with wamp tool and netstat i know apache is the only app on port 80, at my router port 80 is open and forwarding just fine, from online test tools i can see my port 80 open.
    – I use a no-ip domain, i checked the settings, they are all perfect.
    – I tried the port 8080 solution, just in case, nothing happend.
    – I wanted to know if it was my isp or a network problem, so i used dnslooksup, tracerout, ping, and all the online tools to check urls, they all return normal values, like they all can reach my pc (server)
    – I tried the memory limit solution i found in some posts, nothing happened
    – I checked the window’s host file, and its normal with the 127.0.0.1 localhost and ::1 localhost lines.
    – My httpdconf have the listen 80 and the server name localhost just fine
    – My .htaccess file is standard, like no changes since the first installation
    – Database is visible from myphpadmin and it shows the last posts i made on saturday, just fine
    – No errors or warnings on my apache error log
    – No errors on my php error log
    – mysql console status show my wordpress database in use
    – wamp is green and online
    – i created 2 new folders and place them inside /www/ one with an html index file and the other one with a php index file, i can reach both files from localhost (localhost/testing/), but i can’t reach then if i try to use the domain (infiniti.ddns.net/testing/)
    – i can’t open the wordpress from localhost
    – i checked all the “dont use this module from apache or php” solutions, tried all, nothing happend.
    – I tried the winsock refresh / flush solutions i found, nothing happend (other than losing all my network settings, not that hard to resetting then either tho)

    I really don’t know what to do.. or where to look for an error message that gives me any hint on what’s going on. My guess is, something, somehow, got corrupted or stuck when i lost my internet connection last saturday, but what?

    I hope someone can help find the root of the problem to try to fix it, i must avoid the reinstall wamp process because i’m really scare of losing my data, its like 3 years of hard work from my friends and i.

    desperated here, pls help.
    thank you.

    Your problem really has nothing to do with WordPress, but I’ll answer anyway. ??

    The first thing you should do is go to the command line and run the ipconfig /flushdns command. It’s possible your internet outage corrupted your DNS resolver cache.

    More and more ISPs are making changes to block residential customers from operating servers. Most have added their residential IP addresses to commercial blacklists. Some are also removing “ddns” domains from their DNS servers.

    If flushing the DNS resolver cache didn’t help, check your Windows TCP/IP settings. If you are using your ISP’s DNS servers, you should try something else (perhaps Google’s 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 servers) and see if it helps.

    You should contact your ISP, since it appears they did something to block your server from resolving.

    In the meantime, give some thought to mapping your domain to localhost in your HOSTS file. That will at least get your site back up for you.

    Thanks again for your advice, i redirected the site to my localhost and it worked, i can open it and it’s working perfectly, so you are right, it’s my isp.
    Thank you very much for your help.
