Site wide 404 error | Forum

I set up an Oxwall network for my classmates on my own website a few days ago. It has been working fabulously. I was on it at about 2am this morning and have made no changes to theme or plugin in a few days. I tried to log in about an hour ago and all I am getting is a site wide 404 error. I cannot even get into the admin area. I know absolutely nothing about coding and am in over my head. Any help would be much appreciated by me and everyone who has been using the site. the URL is http://www.pymspen.com/myth

Thank you!

ok i was able to go into the admin it looks like i have to reinstall some of the plugin, thank you very much.

Do you have any information on how to secure better oxwall site from spammers and hackers?

I was getting atlease 5 new fake members everyday with hotmail emails and i can tell because the names had the same format and around the same age

Hello, Paul! shall I PM you my info as well? I, too, am using Bluehost, but I worry that this may happen again. What did the problem turn out to be?

Daniel,


The Anit Spam tool uses a Spam protection system. You just need to download the database, I think under the Database tab. Then it will be fine. Then, you can add other Ip's and you can activate what protection systems are active and unactive, and add names of client spammers. I haven't had any spam member since the install.

Also, Ashlan, I use Arvixe, and they were having server load problems with my site in particular. If they get problems, the best thing to do first is contact user support, and they'll fix it for you.
