# index.php suddenly not loading

 * I didn’t mess with the code. I made a post this morning, as usual, and it posted
   just fine. And the blog loaded properly afterwards.
 * Then, suddenly, it won’t load… just endless waiting.
 * Customer support guy at hosting service: other .php pages on my site load just
   fine… it’s the index.php that’s not loading.
 * He suggested downloading that page and reuploading, and that didn’t work… any
   other suggestions?

 * Further note:
 * I just tried uploading the generic index.php that comes with the 1.2.2 installation,
   thinking that some bit of my customization had suddenly gone wrong.
 * Nope, generic index.php won’t load either.
 * BTW, hosting company is godaddy.com.

 * OK, nevermind. It just decided to load again. Must have been some sort of PHP
   hiccup on the server…

 * Picking up this thread —
 * My index.php suddenly won’t come up. I tried overwriting it with the default 
   index.php that came with my WP installation, and that restored the page for a
   while, but then it went down again. And now overwriting it with that original
   file won’t even bring it back. It’s just down — or rather, blank.
 * In the title of the window I get “[http://www.senorcafe.com/index.php&#8221](http://www.senorcafe.com/index.php&#8221);
   rather than the blog title. The window itself remains blank.
 * Any suggestions, please?

 * Don’t overwrite the files. Delete, then upload. Overwriting files via FTP can
   lead to incomplete transfers.
