404 with my hands in the air
okay.
hello.
i did go over the faq and all that stuff… i am not that smart. so hopefully the answer wasnt looking me in the eyes.
http://www.deadintherain.com/
its coming up with 404 in places on the page and it seems to be treating the txp divs as anything but what they are supposed to be.
i know the css is bad and needs a lot of work to make it cross browser friendly. that isnt what the issue is, that is more of a warning for anyone who is kind enough to take a look at what is going on.
also, i cannot log in.
as a matter of fact i no longer seem to have a user section in the database.
i have 16 tables in the database and the user aint one.
i cannot post anything with debug information because it seems to be dead.
i am worried its because i got moved from one host to a different host directory to a different spot with a subaccount. which as far as i know means the paths change to point into an additional folder. i dunno.
any suggestions or questions that i can answer to add more information to the fire please let me know.
after reading around a bunch i tried changing the .htaccess and i have made sure the config.php is correct.

Sounds like your database is corrupt.

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
Sure. Go into phpMyAdmin, and “repair” your tables. :)

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
i rushed off like a bunny to check this out.
the repair worked but nothing seems to be different.
atleast it said the repair worked. i have no reason to not trust it.
here is the <a href=“http://www.deadintherain.com/img/databasescreen.gif” target=”_blank”>screen</a> of my tables.
and thank you both very much for the help.

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
‘repair’ can’t fix everything. The txp_user table is missing, perhaps other data also. You’ll need to restore a backup or install from scratch.
It’s likely whoever moved your database didn’t do it right. You should talk to them.

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
alright.
the outlook is a touch grim.
im sending out an email to the host in hopes they have a copy.
through my infinite fore thought and planning i don’t happen to have a backup on my system.

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
Ooo, that’s not good. Well, a tip for future reference: this plugin makes backing up a breeze. Once it’s setup (which only takes about a minute), then it’s just one-click-backup.

Re: 404 with my hands in the air
i was able to get to a back up my host had.
bless their hearts.
now im gonna search around the forum and see about resetting the admin password so i can get back in.
thank you both so much for you help.
