Just a quickie!

Hi there,

MODx Revolution site, 2.0.8. All running fine, then the client tries to protect the directory that the site is in through a utility on the server (1&1, yes, I know...)

Anyway, it didn’t work, and even though the directory protection has been removed, the site is still down.

When I try to access the front end, I get:



And when I try the managed I get:



Anybody know whats up, and how to fix? I’m thinking an upgrade might help?

Thanks

Wow, that title could be taken entirely out of context...

It sounds like 1 & 1 molested your index.php file and possibly your .htaccess file (that’s often how password-protecting of directories works).

If I were you, I’d download a fresh copy of 2.0.8 and then overwrite the problematic index.php file with the one from the copy (save a backup first). I’d do the same for the .htaccess file as well (I’m presuming you’re running this on a Linux server).

Ok, slightly misleading title, but I was in a rush and thought it might be a quick fix!

All sorted now. I’m not exactly sure what 1&1 did to the site, but I’m pretty sure file molestation had taken place. My short experience with 1&1 so far is far from good! Thank God I don’t have to deal with them for the majority of the project I do.

A site upgrade did the trick in the end, and I manually produced a .htaccess file to protect the site.

Thanks!

I just had a site go down - the host is 1and1 - the index.php was missing, I took the chance to upgrade from 2.07 to 2.08. No idea how it happened. I should add that 1and1 has been trouble free for me so far - though I have never called/needed support
