Ok so I have been working on building a new version of my site within a subfolder of one of my domains and the site is almost complete and for some reason, I restarted my computer this evening after a windows update (I had been adding content all night prior to restart) and I go back to my site and the front page is gone.

The site is http://www.myseriousweightloss.com/seriousweightloss.net and with the Search 404 module on when I go there i get a redirect page. With the mod turned off I get a blank page with a tiny "2" in the upper right hand corner.

All content that comprised my front page is intact http://www.myseriousweightloss.com/seriousweightloss.net/welcomepage as is the rest of the content and navigation system...

The front page just seems to have disappeared and I haven't a clue as to why

If anyone has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated as I was about two pieces of content away from redirecting the domain to this folder and going live

kindof freaking out...

Thanks in advance!

Ok so looking at the logs for the 404 errors, i noticed I has several for node/none. This was one that I had not seen before so I started trying to think where I have seen anything near to node/none and I remembered you could set a default node for the frontpage under site information.

As I have no idea what this would actually be used for, I have always left it with the default for whatever Drupal site I was working on as (in this case) Default Front Page: http://www.myseriousweightloss.com/seriousweightloss.net/node

Now in every Drupal site I have built, "node" is input by default and as I said I have never changed it but when I went to check, the choice was blank where "node" used to be.

My problem is resolved although I have no idea how it got changed as no one has access to my site besides me.

I have recently installed/enabled the following: URLify, Page Title, Clean URLs, Safe HTML, Nodewords, and Freelinking modules.

I have no desire to try and trouble shoot which (if any) of those mods caused the change, but I thought I'd post my fix and leave this issue up in case it happens to anyone else after installing a mod
