Blog Disappeared - 3rd time in 60 days (5 posts)

    Hopefully someone out there has experienced the same issues I am currently facing w/ my company's blog.

    http://www.morepro.com/blog/

    Here's the back story...
    Essentially, our blog has "disappeared" and/or reported errors twice in the past 2 months. Both times, a full restore, from a server backup was needed in order to get the blog back up and operational. Re-uploading all of the files, etc. was not successful - only the server backup worked.

    After the first 2 incidents, I upgraded to WP 2.7. We've been running that for a couple weeks now. Our last post was on 1/12/09 and I show access to a post in the logs, as of 1/22 (this morning).

    This afternoon, we discovered the blog is down again... Posts are inaccessible, Admin is inaccessible, etc.

    Various posts have indicated this could be an .htaccess issue. Both our main website .htaccess and the one within our /blog/ folder haven't been updated since 2006, so I don't believe that is the issue.

    I do show access to the .CSS files and there are other processes still running, for example:

  2. There appears to be a cron to see if WordPress is 2.7.
  3. "GET /blog HTTP/1.1" 301 448 "-" "eCairn-Grabber/1.0 curl/7.15"
  4. Has anyone seen this problem before? Any solutions?

    You really need to upgrade to WP 2.8.4. Your current version (2.7) is highly vulnerable to hacking.

    Looks like they are running 2.8.4 now, just the original post is a little old!
