Hello,

Up until yesterday I had a functional self-hosted blog at razorianfly.com, but last night I did something, and I don't know how to resolve it. I now cannot access my entire blog. Here's what I did:

In an attempt to create and upload an apple-touch-icon.png (web clip icon) I set all the folders in the root directory, to 777. I know, shoot me, I shouldn't have, but I did - I know nothing about permissions and did it in haste. Now, i googled around and found folders should be set to '755' and files '644' ... so I've done that, but still nothing. I'm locked out, completely. Wordpress dashboard, everything. I can access /siteadmin which is a relief, but as I say I'm not very good with this type of stuff, I wouldn't know where to start.

The folders I changed the permissions for include:

  • anon_ftp
  • bin
  • cgi-bin
  • conf
  • error_docs
  • etc
  • httpdocs
  • httpsdocs
  • lib
  • libexec
  • pd
  • private
  • statistics
  • subdomains
  • tmp
  • usr
  • var
  • web_users

If anyone can help me bring the blog live again I will be extremely grateful.

I wouldn't say it normally, but this is really urgent.

Thanks,
R-Fly
