 * Hi there.
 * This afternoon the home page of my blog disappeared. I could still access my 
   posts via the direct link and could get into the dashboard.
 * And then everything vanished. No posts, not dashboard, no nothing. I had tried
   to update the site, but nothing happened (as in I don’t think the update ran 
   at all…it hasn’t the last few times I tried either)
 * So now I have nothing.
 * This pops up when I try to access it:
 * The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * It also says that there are too many redirects (there’s only one, it worked fine
   before, but I deleted it and reestablished it several times today in an attempt
   to fix it)
 * How do I fix this? I don’t code so simple is best, please.
 * Thanks so much in advance. I’m in life crisis over here (on a time crunch and
   need to get my content back up immediately) and any help is appreciated.

 * You might want to notify your host immediately and ask them what changed on their
   configuration.
 * Also, how did you try to update the site?

 * – Try **MANUALLY** updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file
   to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders **EXCEPT
   the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.** You may need to delete
   the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading
   the new ones. Please read the [Manual Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first.
    – **Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything(
   including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really
   goes wrong.**

 * Hi Tara.
 * The problem is that I don’t even have an admin panel to get into in order to 
   follow the manual directions. It’s like it doesn’t even exist. Am I missing something?
 * I contacted my server about it. I’m waiting to hear back from them in case it’s
   on their end.
 * Anarresian, I just clicked the update button within my control panel. I actually
   got an email tonight saying that it had been modified (which makes perfect sense
   because I can’t even locate it, much less access it haha)

 * You don’t need dashboard access for manual update.
 * Please review the link above for instructions.
