DBSpot is perfectly healthy.

*sniffle*

I'm down... so very, very down...

Also, do you have an SMTP server? If not, could you set one up pretty please?

I've got a Mail-Back system for the dbHelp files where new comments and commands are emailed to me so I don't have to waste hours searching the database for new items

Thanks Jimmy

Erm, Jimmy, when I go to my site:

I get this:

Plus SmartFTP won't log into it, it did two days ago and I haven't changed anything!

WTF is going on?!

Has my site been nuked?

Damn what was a quick response, soooooo... when will the backups be back? Or do I have to do it myself?

About the login, thanks!

I see that there are many folders now when I use logon using SmartFTP. My question is which folder do I upload my content too, to be downloaded off the forums?

Web? You mean like a 'spider web'? You mean like 'Spider-Man?' You mean like the movie called 'Spider-Man'? You mean like 'Toby Maguire'? You mean "I should stop now before I make myself sick"? Ok.

Hi. For a while i didn't get the placeholder screen at all, but now i do. The problem is, I never got the initial email when I applied for my subdomain. What should i do? Could you send it again, or should I ditch my subdomain and register again?

Jimmy, has there been a major change as to how the hosting is handled, because if there has, I haven't been told...

Before I just uploaded everything into the main folder with SmartFTP, but now you say we've got to upload to the 'web' folder.

Also, you didn't answer my question, do I have to re-upload my site again? If so, it is to the 'web' folder, right?

PS: I realise you got sick of stupid questions before, but I'm asking these questions because I'm genuinely stumped, not stupid!

[edit] heh, I know now why you hate stupid questions, Jimmy. Next time I should read things properly.

Wait.. so you figured it out?

Yes, it is much different now, I had to use a free control panel, I would have restored everyone's sites but as you can see, the directory structure is different from before so I can't just extract the archive. I have to manually upload 60+ websites, individually and i'm just plain too lazy and impatient for that. I do have recent backups however, so if you need me to restore them, contact me.

Yup, Jimmy, I figured it out, not surprised are you? I've got my site back up and spinning, although I would like to ask: of the new folders added (mainly those in the 'web' folder, such as 'cgi-bin', 'errors' and 'stats') would your advice be "Leave 'em alone." or can I delete any of them and would it cause problems if I did delete one or two?

Again, I'm asking because in my opinion there's no such thing as stupid question, it's better to ask a stupid question and be laughed at then to live in ignorance!
