i believe that the backup that i have restored is a replacement of the server image (from my home at least so in theory should all be there?)

i have from root on the server

/home3/customj1
/bandwith
/counters
/cp-cron etc
/etc
/homedir
/etc
/public_ftp
/public_hmtl
/wp_admin
/…etc etc
/mma
/ssl
/mma
/ssl
/tmp
/userdata

backed up the whole database using the server stuff – not the way wp suggest!!! ??

where should the root point to?

done that, tried to restore a back up from earlier this afternoon – for some reason nothing sat in the tables. apart from original wp stuff. …

ok found some of the stuff in gtcache… whether i can recover it another matter!

just done a sql select and into db table wp_posts – all that is in there is the original “welcome to wordpress”

doesn’t sound good.

..got 60,000 words in there as well!

if the server access problem can be cured (not that i know how to) can i rebuild from a vanilla WP and then re-import content?

no, no change – i think i’ve made my problems worse with the restore from back up

no wp-admin either – essentially can’t access server from the outside world… SimpleScript couldn’t do it either.

reckon i might have screwed it

This is the error.

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at https://www.customercommunicationscommunity.com Port 80

ok done the restore, rebuilt the directory structure.

404 on the front page all though it looks like apache is there now.

no wp-admin at all

no pages

Gone beyond this now, have to be up and running again in the morning.

Doing a restore of a server backup that I did earlier. Just hope that it works… any advice?

solved this one. more major problems now, updated a plugin and its wiped the whole damn lot….

thanks samboll.

i’ve posted a screenshot on the front page of the site. This is of the FTP directory page that shows the files on the directory on the server.

So why is blue host telling me that they are there? Why can I open say a .png file from the directory on the server and see its content?

Confused.

Is this an apache issue or similar?

on the server I have

\wp-content\themes\Nerdblue
\wp-content\themes\classic
\wp-content\themes\default
\wp-content\themes\redbusiness3c
\wp-content\themes\simplebalance

uploaded using blue host.

they are there, not nested and with all the files intact.
