All the domain's folder are present. but there is nothing inside the folders! Everything is deleted! I asked the hosting provider and they have no clue! They are blaming me that "we don't delete user files, might be someone from you'r side deleted it" But i never deleted the files and nor does anyone has the login credentials of my account. Please someone help restore my files! What can i do!
Unless you have a recent backup, there isn't much you can do. Your hosting provider should have a backup solution and keep at least 1-5 days of backup so they can either restore your files or provide you a zip file with your account files. If they are not able to provide any of those, then you can just consider the files lost and that's pretty much it. If that's the case, I suggest to stop using their services and chose a better provider. Also, always have a backup solution in mind... just in case

A fresh installation, installed via an installer (Softaculous, to save time.)
Data seems to be correctly connected and all in the correct places. But most error messages only contain the word "undefined."
I have a feeling it's a permission problem, but the various solutions for it on forums are varied and only seem to work for a small section of people for each.
I'd rather not do a reinstall as all the old data from previous CRM is now imported.
This is running through a cPanel controlled server BTW, if that helps matters.
Yes, It's permission issues. Please update write permission for the web server user and try to delete " cache/jsLanguage/en_us.js " folder from your account.
If a Suite or Sugar install is installed on a temporary I.P whilst using cPanel, at least in our version of cPanel, it hosts the files in a temporary test folder.
Suite (specifically SugarBean.php) tries to access the folders that would exist on permanent domains. So it calls files that are hosted elsewhere on the server.
Soon as the site was pointed to a real domain, it fixed itself, no extra steps necessary, as the files were hosted in the correct place.
Thanks to the hosting company, they explained that to me. I'm not sure if that's standard procedure to store the files differently for temporary i.p addresses.
make sure you are using correct .htaccess
Go to Admin > Repair and do a "Quick Repair & Rebuild". Execute any changes shown at the bottom of the page.
If that doesn't work, go to Admin > Repair and do "Rebuild .htaccess file" and afterwards, Admin > Repair and do a "Quick Repair & Rebuild" again.
I have an issue with an instance of Windows Server 2008 where Server Manager will not open, nor will powershell or anything else really. I've researched solutions and attempted a dozen or so fixes including replacing the machine.config with a known good in .NET/Framework/etcetc, running System Update readiness to repair corrupt files, DISM, the works. I believe the problem stems from a specific manifest file. Remote event log viewing shows dozens of SideBySide errors pointing to this manifest file claiming invalid XML, and upon closer inspection it looks like the thing is just straight up whitespace. I have a copy of the same manifest from a known good server configuration so I'm thinking of replacing it.
First: is this a dumb idea? Is there something I don't know that's going to blow up in my face?
Second: I can't seem to replace the manifest file. Permissions are against me. Upon closer inspection it seems TrustedInstaller is the only account to have write access and above on that folder, and those permissions are locked from me even though I'm running as Administrator with elevated access. I'm guessing this is to prevent me from shooting myself in the foot, but I neeeeeeeeed this to work. So second question: how do I elevate my permissions to access the manifests folder in C:\Windows\WinSxs\?
Thank you for your time in reading this far. I greatly appreciate your collective knowledge and assistance.
Nevermind, got it. I took ownership of the specific manifest file, opened it in notepad with elevated permissions, replaced the contents with the contents of the known good config, saved it. Voila, it works just fine. Restored SYSTEM permissions afterwards to clean up after myself.
I have a windows form application that requires users to log in to access the information. I have created a local compact database file for the credentials to be stored. I added the database file to my the folder but when I open my application and try to log in it tells me that it cannot find the database file.
Should the file be stored on a different folder, or should I need to install an instance of sql on the user computer.
This is my first deployment so I am not sure how to go about it. I have done some research on the subject, but it does not seem related to my issue. The help section of Intallshield was not clear either.
I am looking for some resources on how to accomplish this.
I figure out the issue, in order to work all files, including the database files need to be dumped under the userprofile folder.
Obviously I am very new, so please bear with me.
I installed Kohana Framework in my localhost. To do is so we have to set two specific folders with write permissions to all. "chmod 666" is suggested. (here)
The remaining directories are set to 755.
My question is more directed to Apache.
Will the use of "chmod 666" create a vulnerability in a webserver?
What exacly means "write access for everyone"?
Many thanks in advance!
666 is almost always a really bad idea. The web site where you read that needs a good flogging.
"Write access for everyone" means that anyone with a user account on your system can write to that directory.
These rights are only for your current server, so if you are the only one with access to a user account on your machine you should be pretty safe. Write access for everyone means everyone with a user account on your machine has the right to write. Please note that 3rd party software (like apache) can have it's own user as well and this could be compromised if there's a exploit in that software. This way someone from the outside could gain access to that folder. It's a common practice to only give rights to users that really need access.
Note: On a normal Windows machine (don't know if this is still true with Windows 7 though) everyone has access to everyone's files. So this is just another security measure.
I would like to make a complete backup of my whole joomla 1.5 based site from time to time. How would this ideally be done? Are there any common pitfalls? Not that I only have ftp access to the hosting server. Is there a step by step tutorial somewhere? I am using latest Joomgallery and Kunena 1.0.9 (Legacy mode).
Maybe there is a good way to automate this?
There's two parts of the backup you have to worry about, the database and the files.
The first part is the database. It can be backed up using something like phpMyAdmin. If you don't have this available on your server already, it's not too hard to upload and get it going yourself. From there, you can just Export the entire database to a gzip file.
The second part is the code and uploaded files. The code base shouldn't change too often, so you could probably just make one backup of this. There's a number of ways. The simplest is to just download the entire folder via FTP, though if you're Linux, I'm sure someone will know a single command line to get all the changed files (rsync?).
The database is the main thing you have to worry about though: everything else should be able to be rebuilt just by reinstalling.
I think this: http://www.joomlapack.net/ is what you need. I use it myself and it works like a charm. Both for backups and for moving my Joomla installations from developer sites and to the real site.
get an FTP synchronisation tool and keep an up-to-date copy of your site locally. Then you could run the batch script
mysqldump -hhost -uuser -p%1 schema > C:\backup.sql
to create a backup of your mysql tables at various points in time.
edit
you would have to have MySQL Server installed on your local machine and path to its bin directory in you PATH, in order to run the mysqldump command without much hassle. -p%1 would take the command-line provided password, as you wouldn't want to store passwords in your batch script.
If you only have FTP access you are in a bit of a problem, as beside all files you'll also have to backup the database. Without accessing the database, a full-backup won't do you any good.
Whatever backup strategy you choose - be sure it can handle UTF-8 correctly. Joomla 1.5 stores all content with UTF-8, even when the database charset is set on 'iso-5589-1' - so when the backup solution is detecting the database charset, some characters like € or é will result in "strange" ¬ / é - not really what you'll want.
I absolutely endorse using Joomlapack - it works great. The optional remote tools allow you to initiate the backup from a Windows desktop machine - it performs the backup and downloads it. The remote has a scheduler, and you can also set it off to backup and download a list of sites.
Joomlapack also provides a file "kickstart.php" which you copy to your empty server account along with the backup, which automates the restore procedure. You do have to create an empty database with PHPMyAdmin or similar, and you are given the opportunity to supply the database parameters (host, database, username, password) during the process.
One pitfall I did run into with this though is that some common components can have absolute URLs in their configuration - e.g. SOBI2, Virtuemart. It's then just a matter of finding the appropriate configuration file, editing it and re-uploading it.
Another problem was one archive file (either ZIP or their JPA format) got a filename with a "?" character in it (from a Linux server) and this caused a bit of a problem trying to install it locally on a Windows WAMP stack - the extract process on the ZIP file failed, and it stopped the process completing cleanly.
I suggest using automatic backup service by http://www.everlive.net
Update:
Ok, here is some more information. EverLive.net is a website where you can create a free account. Enter your website details and you are ready to take your backups withe just one click. Restore is also possible in the same way.
Further you can use automatic backup option to take automatic backups at defined intervals. Other than that, you can use the website health check service to inform you if your website is not available.
