I´m very sad since the 2 sites I put all my energy in are having problems after months working perfectly.

What about the site I talked about at the beginning of the topic?

THANKS and tears :(

it should be safe to update, yes. But a lesson learned here: backup your site regularly! And before you make any changes, backup your site too! That means files and the database.

How to back up ?
1) Save your database always a good idea :)
(2) Make a copy of your ftp ? quite a good idea, but take much time)
3) Save at least the config files

For your websites, have you tried to contact your host ? Because if you wait too long, he'll probably destroy the back ups

just 8 hour backups... what does that mean? that they keep their backups only for 8 hours? that must be the most stupid backup policy i have ever heard of then. the whole purpose of a backup is to store a snapshot of your site, not to keep a mirror online for 8 hours...

ok, your sites may not be lost afterall, what you need to do is restore your files. lets hope the database was untouched. get the latest version (2.0.13.1) and copy the files to the server (but keep the original mainfile.php on the server, don't overwrite that!). then try to login.

I installed some months ago the 2.0.9 version. Are you sure I can use directly the 2.0.13.1 ones??

Re: Please help

No, restore your current version first and get the site working, if possible. Then upgrade patches in order to the latest version.

Re: Please help

Reupload all files from a fresh copy of your current version, over writing what is on the server.
