The Mystery gets darker.
Now OurAnswer (the wiki) works fine... except that it had forgot all the changes in the last 2 weeks. That is about one week before the site went down. www.ouranswer.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Recentchanges
There wasn't much done, but it is worrying. What has happened? How can something like this happen? Can it be a malicious attack? We had set up a respond to Bush page which had gathered three comments. So the work of four people was lost.
The pages that were created are also not stored in the new pages: www.ouranswer.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Newpages
Any idea on what could be the possible cause? Pietro

The last edit I see is dated April 30, that's only about one week.
Considering that your server has had some other radical changes going on, I'd suspect your provider has restored your database from a week-old backup. You'd better ask them for details of what they've done and why, and if the more recent files are still available somewhere.

better you do backups next time! this can be done in a very easy way:
here is a short script, which can be run from the server or from your localhst. it will save the current mysql-db and save it into one file.
#!/bin/sh mysqldump -h xyz.sourceforge.net --password=a9d33qX --add-drop-table -u xyz xyz > mysql_backup_`date +%Y%m%d`.dump ls -la mysql_backup_`date +%Y%m%d`.dump
this can be done every day with a cron job or whatever ;-) joachim

- -- Keine "Software-Patente" in Europa Wir protestieren gegen "Software-Patente" in Europa.
Die EU-Kommission und der Ministerrat bemühen sich im Verborgenen um unbegrenzte Patentierbarkeit von Software, wie von internationalen Großkonzernen und Patentanwälten gefordert. Sie ignorieren dabei die demokratische Entscheidung des Europa-Parlamentes vom 24. September 2003, welche die Unterstützung von mehr als 300.000 Bürgern, 2.000.000 Kleinen & mittelständischen Firmen und Dutzenden von Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern genießt.
