Godaddy: Failed to open stream: No such file or directory

June 15, 2010

Just a heads up. It’s just weird that suddenly all of my sites on a particular Godaddy shared hosting server got this type of error. If ever you will experienced this problem, there’s nothing to worry about. Just send a ticket to their support. I’ll update you on their reply to the support that I’ve sent few hours ago. According to their confirmation message, I should get a response within 6 hours. (sounds good)

UPDATE:

It seems that they’ve messed up with my files, and now they’re telling me that I’ve done wrong with my site. Because after 5 days, I received another error (”Error! Cannot find home”) on their system when I try to open my file manager on same account. Anyway, they told me in order to restore it, is to do the following steps below. If you encounter anything like these at Godaddy shared Linux hosting. These procedures are needed to restore your files. Or if you have time to wait for Godaddy’s response, might as well submit a support ticket to be sure.

Hosting History is a feature in Linux shared hosting that allows you to restore files or directories to their previous state from up to 30 days ago using the File Manager.

Restore a File or Directory

1. Log in to your Account Manager.

2. From the Products section, click Web Hosting.

3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.

4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the File Manager icon. Then click the History button.

5. Use the directory tree to navigate to where the file or folder resides that you want to restore.

6. Below the toolbar, click the calendar icon to open the Quick Pick Calendar and select the date where you would like the file or folder restored. The directory list will refresh and display the version of your hosting account from the date selected.

7. Click the check box next to the file or folder you want to restore and click Restore in the tool bar.

8. In the Restore Files or Directories pop-in, select if you want the files to be copied to a new directory, or if you want to rename the files. When you’re finished, click OK.

Your files will be restored with the attributes you selected.
