Thank you for the responses. I agree that it sounds more like a my sql error. I just wanted to eliminate the possibility that WP had a default setting that might reset all php for some reason – perhaps related to archiving.
The date on the Hello world post is 3.5 weeks after the initial blog was installed – basically today’s date. I had not logged on in over a week prior to the reinitialization (and for a few days after) and I am the only admin for that account.
therefore I assume that there is a default setting that reinitalized the my sql database so I am looking there for the problem. Any suggestions as to where I should look would be much appreciated.
PHP version 4.4.1
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16
thanks for the help
