 * My webhosting company (netbunch) was hacked and they lost all of my data. Thankfully
   I had a backup of my wordpress blog that I am trying to restore. I tried to follow
   the guidelines that are listed in the Codex for restoring your backup if you 
   have used the Backup Plugin (it creates a .sql file). Anyway, I am having issues
   as if you go to my site now, it seems that it is up, but when you click on “Comments”,
   any of the pages, etc.., it shows a 404 message.
 * What could be the issue?
 * Your help is appreciated.

 * Have you restored all your WordPress files, including (and especially) the .htaccess
   file?

 * i have restored all of my wordpress files, but i am not sure of my .htaccess 
   file. I am going to have to find it – is that the problem?

 * That’s my guess. Since you have stuff in a /wp directory, the .htaccess file 
   should probably look like
 * `# BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wp/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   wp/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

 * .htaccess is stored within the wp directory, is that right?

 * In your case, it appears it should.
