htaccess corruption!

[Typhoon]

I had a word document open with;

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200

This specifies an upload file limit.

I also had htaccess open as I was modifying my 404 handler.

My d*ckhead of a brother thought it would be funny to paste that in to htaccess and save it.

Now any part of my site is telling me the server is not responding - what's the fix for his idiocy?

I can't get back in to cPanel to edit this out of htaccess or roll back the server a bit.

Cheers

The server is still accepting connections however;

Ping will work as it's a different port used, web is port 80 (http) traditionally. Can you not restart your web services? Who is it with? If you can't get to cPanel, sounds like a support ticket to remove the htaccess for you.

For some reason, my hosts website is throwing back the same error :/ Was literally as my brother saved htaccess.

Can you ssh to your box? and then remove the .ht file.

Nope, times out when I try to SSH.

Strange that you can't get to cpanel though, would assume your host is down.

It's got to be some extreme coincidence that as soon as my nob 'ed brother edited my htaccess the whole things gone caput, including the hosts website.

At least now I'm getting timed out errors and not an unresponsive server. Hmm.

I'd say so. Are you dedicated server, or part of a shared service?

Your syntax looks fine, and with an htaccess errror you'd only get a server 500 error, not a timeout.

Dedi mate. Yeah, I thought it'd be a 500 but wasn't too sure. Fingers crossed everything gets resolved then!

Host outage is very rare though, can you resolve/ping your NS?

Weird. Lol.

 

[Typhoon]

It is very strange..

Trying to download the headers for my site and the server isn't found. Hmm.

 

[adamlstr]

I'd clear anything cache related that you have. I just got the login to ssh on the above ip quickly, with no issues.

 

[Typhoon]

All cleared, same issue.
