Local host - crash
Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2015 10:15 pm
Living in an area with slow internet combined with the desire to completely rebuild a currently live website, led me to the world and learning curve of 'local host's', AMPPS and developing it all offline.
I am using Windows 7, AMPPS 4.6.3
I installed WP, a new theme, followed by a phpBB forum ... I was really forging ahead. All was performing brilliantly and I was very pleased with my learning curve and development results.
4 weeks in and one morning after a routine virus scan update, SuperAntiSpyware, I noticed that my desktop icon for AMPPS had been altered to a generic wondows icon. Needless to say, AMPPS would not run, returning file and page not found errors.
So knowing just enough to get into trouble, I uninstalled and reinstalled AMPPS. Prior to doing so I copied all of the files within the .../.../ampps/www folder. At this point it hit me like a light, I had not done an internal backup of either, the WP site nor the php forum .
So here I am now pondering how I might recover my data to continue development ? ...
Or must I start at square one again ?
