Sudden malfunction (4 posts)

    I set up a wordpress blog yesterday - the second wordpress blog on a single godaddy-hosted site.

    Yesterday when I installed it, it was working.

    This morning when I pulled it up it was working.

    The first blog post wouldn't post. I would hit the post button and nothing would happen.

    I closed eveything down and rebooted the computer. Now the blog is completely non-functional. I type in the url and get an error page. I type in the wp-admin url and get an error page.

    I do know how to use a wordpress blog. The other blog on the site is still working fine.

    working - femalebraingoneinsane.com/menopausehormonenews
    not working - femalebraingoneinsane.com/menopausecureclienttestimonials

    Does anybody know why this would happen all of a sudden? I could just uninstall and re-install, but if I don't know why this happened in the first place, I don't feel confident that I'll be able to prevent it from happening again.

    Is this a godaddy thing? I have found it very difficult to wok with their hosting in a lot of different ways.

    Thanks for any help/guidance you can give me!

    So you have two copies of WordPress in two sub-folders.

    1. menopausehormonenews
    2. menopausecureclienttestimonials

    Can you use FTP to look at both subfolders?

    Hoping you have Linux hosting there.

    Hi Michael!

    Yes - two different sub-folders named exactly as you typed them

    Yes I can use FTP to look at both subfolders

    Linux - yes (Although that is not the OS of my computer)

    Make sure both subfolders have same permissions (644 for folders) as it tries to download http://www.femalebraingoneinsane.com/menopausecureclienttestimonials/wp-login.php

    Guess you could have a PHP memory issue also.

    But a call to Godaddy support might be in order.
