UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support Help Apache server down?

I am new and not so new. I have not much knowledge as to how all this works, but this is what has happened. Back in Jan. I lost the Private message function on my site. It shows up, but all members are empty of old pm's and no new ones can be sent.
This PM function has been disabled some how.
Now as I go to the control panel to access thing's for the site I get a error message telling me this
"Apache server is not present" or something like that.
CAN a virus or worm do this to a site?
I am use less and can not get in.
It is like the site is just slowly falling apart, so what do I do?

Unless you're on a dedicated server, the "Apache" error message is something your hosting provider will have to address.

If you're on a Unix server, it's unlikely to be a virus, but not impossible, but again, your hosting provider should address this.

As for your PM's, it sounds like some of your files/directories have been trashed, most likely, and permissions may have been changed on the scripts.

I'd strongly suggest you open a support ticket and let the experts take a look to see what's going on, these may be separate problems, or they may all be related.

I think I'd look for another hosting provider, too.
