Hey, up until about 9:36 EST my coppermine gallery was fine, then at about 9:36 I looked in my directory and everything was almost gone you can view it here http://stacey-f.org/photo I am hosted by a friend of mine, on a reseller account. I did download a directory, but when I upload it, it says Restoring Database even when I click Upload and nothing is in the browse box it still does the same thing. I am uploading the file to the MySQL Database Backup. Do you think I was hacked? Or is it something to do with the authorization since I am not an admin. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Andrew, your photo/ directory is void of all files. What do you mean by downloading a directory?, and which directory? Also, what is the file you are attempting to upload using MySQL? Have you communicated with your friend as whether they have recently made any file alterations?

What do you mean void of all files? By downloading a directory, I mean I downloaded it from the cpanel backup option on cpanel. I downloaded the MYSQL backup. I am attempting to upload all my picture files in the gallery and folders, etc. I did communicated with my friend we have been working forever on trying to find the problem, she did not make any file alterations.

I also do have a home directory backup that i made a few weeks ago.

You have no files in the photo/ directory, only folders which also do not have any files. They have been deleted, the cause yet to be determined.Unzip that home directory backup and upload the entire photo/ directory. Once you have an index file in the folder, error messages will alert to any aditional corrections that need to be made.

Is your database in tact? Are you able to see the tables and fields and data in phpMyAdmin? You might have avoided a problem with it.

Sorry if I am misinterpreting your "BUMP".

How do I unzip it? It says the program for the file extention is not known. What is PHPmyadmin?

All I am really trying to receive is my picture files. And the whole coppermine gallery that was in my /photo section, that of which is now gone.

With the assumption you are using Windows:

Go to WinZip.com and download a trial copy of winzip. It will allow you to unzip linux archives (gz and gzip) as well as zip. You will then have your entire photo/ directory which you can upload via FTP to your server.

phpMyAdmin is a GUI provided through cPanel to view your databases as well as a graphic means to do maintenance. You can find a link to it in cPanel --> MySQL Databases near the bottom. Pick your database and look for the "Browse" button, and don't touch the red "X".

Learning is a virtue, don't allow yourself to get sidetracked from your mission. You can also e-mail me via my profile.

I did send you an e-mail, but I'd rather do it through here so I can access it all in a later date if this happens again.

But, yesterday I did convert it using a program called wrar361 it converted it to .gz.part. When I extract the files, nothing happens in winzip.

EDIT: It asks me this when I try and convert it click here for a screen shot.
