Help! Lost my frontpage

bstrange - March 18, 2008 - 08:33

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, guess I panicked early lol

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
