Are you on Chopin?

This happened to me on Lotus the other day. The databases were rolleb back by about 2 months. It just corrected itself after an hour or so. The link from MySQL to accounts was broken, so the server defaulted back to the latest working one, in my case, 2 months prior.

Hope this helps

same problem for me... i need to know what happened!!

Don't worry, everything will be fine, just give it an hour.

If you have the option to take your site offline and prevent user access, do so.

The exact same thing happened to me, and I also paniked, but by the time I had done so, and opened support tickets etc, the databases were back.

Hope this helps

Are you sure that the database will be normal after an hour or so?

I really hope so - I spent tons of time on my new blog all this week - I have a backup from the other day, but I am hoping I didn't lose the changes I made on it last night. Can't wait for MySql to come back up.

Yeah, 99% sure.

I think admin must be applying an update, which is causing http and cpanel to go down, then everything to come back online, before they have the chance to rebuild the MySQL links. The exact same symptoms happened on Lotus yesterday (or the day before, can't remember.)

Keep calm, and try not to cry
Edit:
And, DO NOT apply a backup, it could corrupt the database if admin are currently working on them.

Same situation for me. Added new forums, groups, and did all the permissions for each user group, to find that MySQL kicked the bucket the next day, and I had no backup.

It just stops users from making any posts or anything that involves the databases which could upset the system even more. Just incase really.

Good luck
