Where’s my damn site?

Oops. Well, glad you figured it out anyway! And I hope you have a backup!

Happy holidays!

thank you — actually I had my default permission set wrong and some clever person was fooling with them. Thank god I had a backup. Is there a good permissions tutorial on the wiki besides that one page?

Hi all – my site disappeared too. I hadn’t updated my blog in a few days, and went to look tonight, but it says “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”

What gives???

Check you wp-config.php file or ask your hosting provider. It sounds like the database information in the wp-config.php file may have been altered, or your WordPress MySQL database may have been altered or deleted.

jeffjeff, have you resolved this?

Did you have a backup? Contacted your host regarding any server issues?

Thanks macmanz, I’m checking now. Crossing my fingers…

Miklb – I don’t have a *recent* backup. I seem to still have my MySQL database where it should be. The host is checking into it now. I have no idea what’s happened.

How’s your config.php file?

Should I run the install? My site has been up for several months, this just happened…

No. I wouldn’t run install. It will then attempt to write a new DB. You want to try and recreate your config.php, or worse case scenario, export your DB, delete everything, clean install, then re-import the DB.

My config.php file is still intact, it has the name of the database, etc in it. The database is also there. My host chat support says I should open a ticket.

First thing first, backup your database:
