My files are gone!

Posted on July 3rd, 2004 by Poonam

For the last two days I have been working hard to change the layout look on our website. With the help of Monty, I was making great progress and in fact almost done. Last night I worked on it till 1 am. This morning I woke up… and my files (the index file and the .css file) were not in the folder. My last post (Qurbani Qurbani AND the Category I setup: Serials) was also not on the blog. :mad: How can this happen in mere 8 hours???

What happened????? I don’t know. I looked on my cpanel to find any clue to where those files might have been gone. Well they were not in the trash because the trash had other files so they couldn’t have been deleted. If anything they might have been moved, but who would move them??? :sad:

I called Neeraj immediately and he had not been on the Internet that day so he was out. That leaves Monty. He had also told me that he was going out with friends so he wouldn’t have played a prank on us. No one else has access or knows the password, then how did this happen?

Well I am very upset…do din ka mahnat aaise hi haath se nikal gaya :cry: Now I have changed ALL of the passwords. I don’t want this to happen again.

    the keyword is “backups” - setup a cron job for backups for every day/week wotever is suitable for u.

    You are right backup is key. I have now learned that. Actually this problem occurred in the process where my domain was still be synched or something so that’s why the problem occurred.

    You know I have noticed that as well that the right side takes longer but am not sure why . Its in the same file as the leftbar and the center section - index.php.

    R u using some external links update file? such as weblogs.com or blo.gs? That might be the reason for it… also your stats can be the reason but u have the stats at left side too…

    I don’t think so. I didn’t sign up for anything if its doing on its own then its possible. Is there a way to check? :eyebrow:

    I think u can debug it by moving each of the blocks to left and then refreshing the page to check it…
