After starka reboot..

[sharlaxismp]

before the starka reboot, my site was configured the way i wanted it. now, its at the default joomla page after installing it. what happen to my site before the reboot?

Hm. Try using the R1soft recovery tool in your CPanel. See if there is a backup just before the reboot. The reboot may have caused some data loss, though I haven't heard of any problems from anyone else.

Unfortunately, if that doesn't work, you have to do it all over again.

Have you tried clearing your cache?

 

[garrettroyce]

It shows up as the default to me as well, I think something got changed, unfortunately. At least, I think it's the default. I've never used Joomla

The last backup was on the 21st of september..i dont know how to manually make one on there. And i did clear my cache, i looked in my joomla admin panel and everything is back to what it was when i installed it.

Unfortunately, it seems as if you'll have to make those changes again. I'm sorry that happened!

..........................lovely. close to being done, and then it gets lost. and they dont allow manual backup options. .................

To make manual backups, I suggest going in cPanel, and in the file manager. Then selecting the public_html folder and any other folder that contains data relevant to your site. You archive that all up in a file and download it. It`s your webspace backup.
Next, you open phpmyadmin and you export all the database and download them as well.

Here you go, you've got your backups!

You could use CRON to backup your site in the future.

On the free servers, people sign up for accounts and do abusive things with them that crash the servers. We catch them and remove their accounts, but users like you suffer because of other's dumb actions.

WAITWAITWAIT

DON'TDOANYTHINGYET

I had an issue like this with my blog before, where all my information was missing in action and I was told to reinstall my blog. I growled at it a bit, went to sleep, then found that my blog was back to normal the next morning.

Wait a few hours and check your website again.

[sharlaxismp]

HAha yeah, I know what you mean, just setting up a fresh install of Joomla can be a SERIOUS pain.

 

[garrettroyce]

You would need to find or create a script designed to back up your site. You need to set it up with CRON using CPanel -> Advanced -> Cron Jobs. You give it an interval and the absolute path to your script and it will run every period you specify.

Greetings,

I read some of the posts on how people backup their sites.
The compression one gave me a great and fast result due to the small size of the site, yet I am interested in the Cron Jobs.

What would I put into the box 'Command to run:'? I don't need backups but maybe once every few months. What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Isn't zlib missing from PHP?

I think I could write a script to incrementally back up a site, but without compression.....

I haven't checked, but I assume similar libraries are missing from Perl.

The data loss has been acknowledged and the information will be restored as soon as possible.
