Links broken, spacing changed, header smaller

Post by ed587 »

Hello All,

I noticed a few things in the past several days. My admin panel comes up as a list. My contents list is broken, the links are not found, the spacing is butt up against the left edge, and my header which used to fit into the Bulletproof header is now smaller.

All I've added in the last month is a Facebook link with a profile picture. Any ideas? What's up with this? Thanks.

My archives folder is empty except for three miscellaneous pdf files. What could cause this? Have I been hijacked? No wonder the links don't work. Any ideas as to what might have happened? Thanks!

My FTP client indicates the folder hasn't been modified since February 2009.

Hi!

archives/ is a virtual folder, no files go there. If your urls are not found, you might have accidentally removed the .htaccess file which is reponsible for crating virtual URLs. Enter your admin, go to configuration and set "URL Rewriting" to "none", save, check if the page works. If it does/did, then you can try to set the dropdown to the previous value again.

Garvin,

Glad to hear it is a virtual folder, I was just about to call the police. I haven't touched the .htaccess file but I turned off URL rewriting. Things got back to normal. Set it back to AppacheErrorHandling rewrite and things are now working and looking great. Thanks very much.
