[Solved] Site is down - deprecated errors & can't login.
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 1:05 am
I am seeing deprecation errors in the header of my site for some reason.
Please note, I'm not a dev; I hired someone to help with the site years ago. I have some front-end knowledge, but that's it. I will attempt to provide as much information as I can.
The site was running on (gasp) Caguas, which is an outdated version. It was badly in need of upgrading and a backup, but I'd been putting it off. I've lost touch with my original developer.
48 hours ago, the site was fine. Now, I'm seeing over a dozen errors like this:
I'm checking with my hosting company right now to see if they've made any changes to the server or safe_mode in PHP recently. (I did a search and found an old thread that pointed to this as a solution for a guy with a similar problem).
I know I need to upgrade the site (or start over?), but I'd really like to figure out if this is a system/server issue, or if I've been hacked.
I also can't login to the admin screen. My credentials no longer work.
