Hi, I own this directory - It gets over 10K UV per month and I was making money from it on a regular basis. Today morning I wake up to find that all the links in my database are gone. I got no idea what happened. Please help in getting the links back. Can anyone guide me what should i do now? It shows zero links. All the approved and pending links have disappeared.
Looks like your database is corrupted.. Check your Mysql DB tables. If its empty replace it by getting a backup copy from your hosting company or the one you might have.
Dont worry, you haven't lost everything from what i see. At your hosting go into phpmyadmin for the database of that directory and select the box for PLD_LINK then scroll down to bottom where it says With selected: and select Repair table Then check to see if all of the links are back in place. Its happend to mine a few times, causes a bit of a panick i know.
I did what you said, this was the error message which i got Also for PLD_link it says "in use" in the table and no records
Might be worth contacting your host regarding their mysql server(s) ive had to contact godaddy before where im guessing they reboot it, restart or whatever it is that they do. But repairing the table of the db as stated above usually does the trick, when there are no other problems. It really does look like the same that has happened to me before. Regarding the error though im not sure, you most likely need help from the host for that. Edit: I see you are all sorted, good.
