In reply to: A big Problem – Too many redirects. Can't load siteclear your history cache as lewiswhites.com works form me..
.htaccess file is located through your file manager or ftp client.. with the option to view hidden files enabled.
for everyone thinkingn they can just delete all their .htaccess files and it will fix it I would think again… I actually a file manager that they uploaded changing the permissions and files. only safe way is to restore from an older backup or backup the db and restore from there.

In reply to: web site not working since 7th of july 12 and redirect to other oneHi, I Have had this problem. check the .htacess file for anything suspicious.
this could be down to the timthumb exploit, in your current theme folder if you have a file called timthumb and its only around 12k kilobytes, you have probably been hit by hackers.
The bad news is that the damage is done and they have already got into your hosting account, I havent been able to locate all the files they infected as they infected right up to the host root folder past public_html where cpanel folders settings are.
its not just the .htaccess files that are infected as the problem returned in my expericence. I found lots of corrupt files/folders
so the safest option is to backupyour db, have your host delete and reset a fresh hosting account for you and reinstall from backup if possible, if not you’ll have to rebuild the site as I found the only thing that was not compromised on the server was the database.
when you backup make sure you update the timthumb file… http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php
hope this helps

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: step 2 asks to download index.phpI’ve tried installing many times making sure no files are skipped etc. with different versions of wordpress and the result is always the same. it gets to step two asks me to download index.php (in firefox) it does install the db but then shows a blank screen unless I hit refresh. my current installation is on the root of the domain.
if you type in a bogus file name in the directory WP is installed in it still ask to download the file (in firefox)
