THANK-YOU macmanx … you saved me ?? It is loading now ..

Follow up to myself and this forum:

It is fixed now – I believe the cause was that I followed advise of https://warpspire.com/journal/programming/getting-all-of-your-feed-subscribers-to-feedburner-wordpress/ this page, trying to capture 100% of my feedreaders …. I can only guestimate that this experimental plugin possibly created some issues with a few core files that I modified in the root … wp-feed.php, wp-rss2.php etc … As soon as I copied back original copies of these 2 and a few more, and re-did my permanent link in Options .. the feed came back.

*phew*

Hello. I’m getting the same error message…
================
“This feed is making a a€?clunkinga€? sound.
This publisher’s content was recently unavailable so FeedBurner cannot present it at this time.”
Feed Address: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Petlvrcom-theBlog
HTTP Error Code: 500
Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: Error getting URL: 404 – Not Found
===================
I had no clue it wasn’t working, but based on the time that Feedburner claims it had stopped working, I think I know what happened that I probably caused something.

I have been working with an untested upgrade to the “Evermore” plugin. I first deactivated old and reactivated new. It didn’t do anything for me. There were three variables that I would be playing with ONLY to see if I can get this “More-Evermore” plugin to suit my needs. I was playing with two of them.

// Global settings for the plugin.
// Evermore uses (0, 1, false) for these.
$char_skip_count = 100;
$para_skip_count = 1;
$run_on = true;

I changed the 100 to 0 and the skip count incremental up to 10 and then hitting refresh and seeing if it helped me. Afterwards, knowing it didn’t, I deactivated this plugin and reactivated “Evermore” again. That’s the time this feed approximately went down.

Any suggestions how to get that up again?

ps: IF I PING THE FEED THROUGH FEEDBURNER PING .. I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE:

Your Ping resulted in an Error “java.lang.ClassCastException”

Take care.

chanzero — take a look at my site https://HART-Empire.com … I AM UP! 100% Recovery! WooHoo!!

I took your advice.

First, in the 2nd/new database, I exported options table basically following the https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/backup/ instructions.

Second, I exported options table in my dummy database/. It was the first attempt to create i.e. WP_2 tables with new installation.

Third, in my 2nd/new database, I clicked on the database and ticked the options table and “empty”‘ed it.

Fourth – I loaded the backup_options.sql of the second option above, into notepad, and manually copied everything except the header into the field, overwriting some text that was there, and pressed GO.

The page was blank still – but, it was orange or whatever the surrounding background of my page is. So, I went directly into /wp-admin/ and activated all my plugins.
Then, I loaded up the options of my PetLvr.com/blog/ – because all options are set the same for me – and I set my options, and created the permalink structure.

Then – it loaded! *whew* ..

Obviously had some side effects – Pre-issue I had about 10 feedburner count. Now I’ve got 1 (me).. Oh well. Precautions for next time.

Take care.

I have access to Myphpadmin and my database … I believe the ss_stats is the shortstats option.

I still am up fiddling with this. I tried 3 times now. with https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/ podz restore guide. I’ve restored from both ends. I’ve tried to empty the shortstats .. If I were drinking coffee I’d pull my hair out.. soon it will be morning and I’ll make a pot of coffee and probably be in same boat ?? .. I wish someone helpful would be willing to look at it. I’m going nowhere.

PS: I don’t have the ajax spell checker .. in my plugin folder, there is tons of plugins, but not activated. I’m sure there are many that was activated ..

Okay. I created a brand new blog as I suggested, with different prefix. It worked. I couldn’t figure out how to import the exported tables individually into the new prefix tables. So, I contacted “live chat” and this is what was done. I created a SECOND MySql database with a different database name, with a different mysql username , and different Password. The ‘support’ guy used Mysql Client to dump the tables into a backup.sql file. There were 11 tables in all – (9 plus two _ss_search and _ss_stats tables – must be a plug in). Then, he imported them into this new database 2.

I changed the variables in wp-config.php file for this new database and username and password.

I try going to https://HART-Empire.com again and .. drats – I get the same problem – blank screen… This is view source..

Well – that is promising! I will create a new wordpress blog – and, maybe you can help me to copy the tables? Feel free to try me on MSN Messenger … my id would be .. [email protected]

Sorry to dump all my troubles on all of you, and all your help is GREATLY appreciated! Now – tech has given up claiming it’s my fault and the PHP scripts “contain redundant newline characters. This usually indicates that they were transferred in binary mode.” Naturally, I am quite aware of this with 8 blogs now, and I always upload in ASCII the .php files and the images in BINARY. Meanwhile, I have also re-copied over existing files, and also deleted files and copies original files from the download .zip file .. And it’s still blank.

So – I can’t see or access wordpress.

But – what if I were to create a new wordpress blog? I would basically start all over this way .. (a) Put the install.php file back in the /wp-admin/ folder, and (b) change database variables after creating a NEW database name .. eg instead of prefix WP_ I would create WP2_ …

So – Now I would have a new blog with new tables and database and it should work, right?

Is there a way to get all the database entries of WP_ into WP2_ ? At least if it’s all back – I can recover and make a backup of this properly, and find a new server and start from scratch.

This can be closed. I figured out that if you just use the “require” command and pull in the code… (if you click above .txt file you will see how I did it)

aha! So I’m not crazy! That’s what I noticed about mine too – the database is there. I have that second blog working but, with different prefixes. I probably only have about 20-30 posts though. I just started this one in mid-October – so, I don’t think it would be the ‘strain’ factor.

I just went into my database to try to see if I had any errors like your Server Load … I noticed this:

Error
The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.

When I click “here” I get another screen that says:
Database xxxx running on localhost
PMA Database … not OK[ Documentation ]
General relation features Disabled

When I click on Documentation, I get this:

https://www.hart-empire.com/globat/phpMyAdmin/Documentation.html#pmadb

It’s Globat.com with tons of space or bang for my buck. Everything else has been excellent (well speed anyway). Maybe I should just use it to store mp3’s and backups and keep the blogs away from here. The worse part, for me, is the outsourced live chat- you have to wait for help, are in the middle of multi-tasking agent that can’t help you but type tickets. Yes – dumping them is a consideration. This is unacceptable for one to host your blog.

Who would you recommend?

Macmanx – that was kind of funny, and you are right. But the first server – it did happen only 3 times since May 31, 2005 when I first started. Perhaps it is unstable? I dunno. Maybe that’s why they knew how to fix it.

As for the second host provider – it’s still down since Saturday, it’s monday night now. Their most recent email looked like this:

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting Support.
Your site is up and working the problem is the php script is not parsing with the server which we need to check. This issue is on queue with our tier 2.
Please bear with us.

I have asked them to just please a dissatisfied customer and initiate a reboot or restart to the database – but they won’t because they can’t believe it could be that simple as turning it off and on. It’s aggravating.

PS: tomhanna .. I have tried deleting the both all the template files in the \theme\ folders that I am using and also deleting all the \wp-admin and \wp-includes and the main root wordpress directory – to no avail.

btw – I have two host providers. Occassionally, I used to get an error message by WordPress something to the effect.. “ERROR ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION”. I would send an email to my 1st provider and they ‘restarted the database’.

What does this mean? My second host provider that https://HART-Empire.com is on – doesn’t get that error message, but when I as them to “restart the database” they go .. ‘huh?’ (live chat outsourcing) Is that something I can do manually here on my end?

I can’t even access anything inside the wordpress. However, I can see the files via FTP. I deleted my entire theme folder and copied in the default .. just to see …

[ (edit) Firstly: recopied all the /themes/subfolders/ and then secondly, copied the default files into my existing theme/northern-web-coders/ folder… ]

Same difference – nothing loads up except a white screen. It’s as if WordPress is gone.

Hi Makwak … Did you get working? What’s the URL (if I may ask)… I’ve been trying to get something like https://www.mts.net/~hbs/yvonne/puzzle14.htm (if you view source) embedded in my pages .. with no luck… The error message I keep receiving is “Loading Java Applet Failed”. I’ve tried in regular posts and in page posts and modify the url to the location of the files .. I have them all in my https://www.HARTandYVONNE.com/blog/puzzle/ folder .. It just seems that somehow my wordpress is making it stop. BTW I have a bunch of plug-ins installed, including Textile1 activated.

Any thoughts? // HART
