CMS Made Simple Forums

This happened randomly.

All of a sudden, for no reason, this message came up: "Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server." when trying to access the site - the Admin panel still works fine..

I looked into the database - everything is there. Nothing was changed anywhere.

Does anybody have any advice?

I moved everything to a new directory of the site (so that users don't see the problem) and changed everything appropriately in the Config file. Any ideas on how to make it appear?

I also tried installing CMSMS again in a new directory - it worked fine - but once I imported my database - the same message appeared.

Thanks

were you using htaccess/mod_rewrite by any chance for the urls?

i've had people delete these inadvertently before, or had them not copy when moved causing issues that sound similar to this...

If it was a 500 error, it could be something with your hosting configs or server or domain DNS.
But, check to make sure that the index.php file is still intact and make sure your server is not trying to load an index.html file and is set up so that index.php is the default directory index file.... some servers default to index.htm, or index.html, or default.asp, etc....

If you move a site and have path problems run install of that version and at STEP 5 DON'T CREATE TABLES OR INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT this will rebuild the path and connect to the DB...
