outhere

thanks, everyone, for the posted help.

nothing has worked.

what about just saving the site and reinstalling?

what needs to be saved – the database where the posts are stored and that’s it?

kmessinger – thanks much for sticking around this long

why would word press just stop by itself?

anyone got any clues?

i looked into the blog-header too

the page loaded for me, but it’s just totally blank, white. no 404 or anything

i found the file on ftp though

it reads:

<?php

if (! isset($wp_did_header)):
if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-config.php’) ) {
if ( strstr( $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-admin’) ) $path = ”;
else $path = ‘wp-admin/’;

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-includes/functions.php’);
wp_die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”, “WordPress › Error”);
}

$wp_did_header = true;

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-config.php’);

wp();
gzip_compression();

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/template-loader.php’);

endif;

?>

i renamed the index.html file

the same problem still exists

what’s going on here?

why did it all of the sudden stop working?

> In your admin did you change the WordPress address or the blog address?

no

but i just went to look at what the index.php file looks like, and this is all it is:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

that doesn’t seem right??

hello again

here is a perhaps more-clear write up of the problem i’m experiencing:

my homepage URL won’t load.

after the browser tries to load for a minute unsuccessfully I keep get the message “Safari can’t open the page “http://outhereinohio.com/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy.”

i can however access the log in page and admin the entire site, including viewing individual posts, just not viewing the site like the normal viewing experience of going to the homepage.

i called my hosting service – godaddy – they said the server is working, that there might be a problem with the .htaccess file

the file reads:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
does anyone see a problem in the htaccess file?

anyone have a clue why the homepage won’t load?

anyway around it?

thanks.
