servers down?

[tradingshed]

HI,

have not been able toaccess my site all day (approx from 8am till now 21.30) with error "server down".

However, I am able to go to control panel OK and log on through FTP, it is just the site itself (tradingshed.exofire.net/blog) which I cannot access.

Help?

Thanks

Your front page ( Welcome to your new Drupal website! ) comes in fine, but your blog times out.

You can try to check the blog's configuration file and make sure that any HOST like variable is set to 'localhost'

follow these steps...

1) Open cpanel file manager.
2) Select wp-config.php file located in your wordpress root folder.
3) Open it in code editor.
4) Press Ctrl+F and find 'DB_HOST'. It should be on line 28
5) Right after that change the text any written to localhost.
6) After editing it should look like this.

 	/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost')

Looks like this is a problem related to server migration...

Currently our admins are doing migration on servers

see this for more info http://forums.x10hosting.com/news-announcements/110021-latest-news.html#post628844

After the migration done all problems will be sorted

Someone argued this with me the other day kindof, but it never works for me when i use 'localhost'. I've always had to use starka(myserver).x10hosting.com

What's the difference, though, really???

 

[Zubair]

localhost automatically redirect into the server address on local machine..
e.g if you are on chopin and you use localhost..

then it will redirect to mysql-chopin.x10hosting.com

But you can`t use mysql-chopin.x10hosting.com directly on x10hosting.. because admins disable it after MYSQL server upgrade

This, but also should the mysql server ever change locations (such as to avoid an imminent HDD failure), using mysql-chopin.x10hosting.com will cause the script to fail catastrophically. Using Localhost, the server can forward the request to the new mysql location without a problem.

I guess for the moment it's not really a big difference but should things ever go south and mysql moves to a new server address, it'll be bad for anyone with the old server in their scripts.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Still not working!

Any other ideas beside server migration?

Anything I can try?

thanks to all
Edit:
HI all,

is now nearly 48 hours without being able to access WP or to view my blog.

Is this something to do with server migration?

Or should I look into some other problem?

It would appear to be a wordpress problem as I did sme research with friends and:

My own drupal page comes out with no problem
My .../blog times out (where WP installed)
A friend of mine drupal site is fine
another friend of mine with WP installed in root cannot access it.

anyone any idea?

thank you all in advance

www.tradingshed.exofire.net/blog (WP)
www.tradingshed.exofire.net (Drupal home)
Edit:
Hi all,

from today the situation has got worse, now I cant even log in to my blog with my FTP, which I could before.

I have checked with file manager and all the files seem to be there, the control panel tells me my account is in good standing, however, this is the 3rd day of no access.

I was going to try to make a local site by downloading all the files, I dont want to lose them!

Any ideas?

Or still, any ideas on why this is happening and is it happening to many people?

Thanks for the help.

Your site http://tradingshed.exofire.net/ working fine for me.

and also I can see cpanel , So check out.

 

[tradingshed]

Thank you for replying.

it is tradingshed.exofire.net/blog which has not been working for a week for some reason.

C/panel, FTP access all work now and the main tradingshed.exofire.net has always been working fine!

I see that wordpress also has disappeared from software options in C/panel

perhaps a problem with wpress/new servers?

please any help or advice is appreciated.

When I try the http://tradingshed.exofire.net/blog/

I got database connection error

So in your wp-config.php you need to change

DB_HOST to localhost means this should be present. Check it out.

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

WOW, thanks very much, problem solved.

It was actually suggested before and I did make the change through file manager. It appears it was not saved.

Now I used FTP, taken the file locally, modify it and resaved it

thanks

If your sever was not completely migrated when you made the change it is possible that the change was only on the old server, which would be the case if your account were transfered but dns was not updated yet
