Can't bring up front or back end of site but all files still exist. What might be happening?

UPDATE -Feb 2

I've recently brought it back over to a testing server instead of a localhost environment. The address is http://onlinewebdraft.com/nuggettesting/

I have renamed my plugins folder and my genesis and genesis child folders to deactivate them but I still get nothing.

This one is a doozy and I'm willing to offer some points for the right answer (I can do that right?).

I had a website up (no point giving the link as it's just a landing page right now) and something happened to it. It was just a blank page when you visited it. It's a website I put up in the spring for my parent business, so thankfully they understand and I can work on trying to figure this out.

Steps I took to see if I could get it back up and running (as I have all my files and info on my server and can see it via ftp) is:

  • Deactivate all plugins
  • Deactivated/Deleted my custom theme (Genesis framework Back Country theme for those of you who know Genesis)
  • Renamed my .htaccess file

I'm not really quite sure what is happening so I though if I were to take a copy of my files and backup my database to my local server and set it up locally then I could further diagnose what might be happening to this website. However I can't seem to figure out why my wp-admin isn't coming up or for that matter anything.

I've followed the steps here in order to get a backup of the files I have on my local server.

When I try to bring it up on my localhost all I get is "This webpage is not available".

I know my localhost is up and running as I check out any other localhost web sites I have and everything is running fine.

I've checked my error_log and these are the last couple thigns it's been complaining about

I have all my tables imported into my localhost database, I've renamed my htaccess file, renamed my plugins folder and deleted everything but the twenty twelvetheme in my localhost server so I'm not sure what else I can do?

I hope this is enough information to get some direction as to what might be happening as I do not have a backup of the site (the only website of the few I have that doesn't have a backup of course!).

ANY help is appreciated. I'm desperate.

UPDATED

Still no luck. I've started with a fresh install even and removed all but one theme (now I've added a NEW genesis framework and backcountry theme (what I had before) but I have no way of hooking it up as I can't get to the front end..

Here is a screenshot of my initial setup.

I don't understand it but whatever I do I can't seem to connect my front end to the content and information I see in the correctly chosen database from my wp-config.php file. I know the info is in there as this is the database and the tables I'm trying to call.

UPDATED - as per a comment from BillK

I'm able to visit any other localhost site but my nuggetcity one.

nuggetcity

another one in the same directory

I have found out how to fix it but can't seem to find out what caused it. The website was fairly new and was launched on April 20th, 2015. Not many updates had been done so maybe thats why?

Someone had suggested that I replace all instances of the wordpress core files (except wp-config.php and wp-content as these are important for your website and without them you don't have your custom website).

So you:

  • Go to wordpress.org and download the latest copy of wordpress
  • Unzip the folder and extract the files
  • Visit your website (I had a copy of my files on a different server to play with and test - i manually moved it over with the help of this article but don't forget to change your URL's)
  • Replace every file and folder (except wp-config.php and wp-content) with a fresh install of wordpress
  • Follow the rest of the steps in the manual migration article I referenced earlier. Don't forget about the URL change if you moved to another server for testing.
  • Refresh the page where your wordpress website should be
  • You may get a wordpress notification about repairing the database, run the repair and all should be good.

So I was able to do this on the test site I put up earlier and then after visiting the site and repairing the database all was well.

I'm not quite sure now what caused the white screen of death, but a fresh update of wordpress did the trick.

So now, either install your backup plugin (I use Backup Buddy) or manually migrate these files back over (in the same fashion) to your actual website server.

Hope this ends up helping someone.

For error: WordPress database error Got error 28 from storage engine Solution: The error come when MySQL doesn't have any free hard disk space to write to. Check your /tmp directory, that's where I had run into problems. Once clear and restarting mysql should look working.

You can check disk space via command line:

myServer# df -h

Don't forgot to check .htaccess file. Compare and correct it with your domain.

For error: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_term_meta() Solution: Check for your genesis update where as in your case you removed it but you need to update it whenever you use.

Basic .htaccess content like: Your server log says :

[Tue Feb 02 16:17:53 2016] [alert] [client ::1] /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/2016/superclean/.htaccess: without matching section

Without check your .htaccess file code, I can suggest you:

1. Either try deleting/renaming your .htaccess file.
2. OR replace your .htaccess content with below basic content. 

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

You can share you .htaccess code if above any option not working. So we can drill down for proper solution.

Let me know if there is any concern from above!

The message displayed by Chrome in your screen shot indicates the problem is more likely a network / server issue than a problem with the website. The puzzling part is you say you can open other sites on localhost. Do you access those sites the same way i.e localhost/someotherdir?

What happens if you type http://127.0.0.1/2016/nuggetcity?

Look for error messages in Chrome's developer tools / console.

Check .htaccess files in the server's root directory.

Try remove the genesis theme folder and see what happens. Make sure you have the default WordPress theme folders under /wp-content/themes/
