The DBHOST was physically moved when our offices moved. The servers were reorganized from a matter of housekeeping. We ditched a 10.0.10.x range for a fully qualified C class network.
I believe that the situation has been resolved since all the posts are now appearing and everything has returned to normal. I believe the problem was that the date and time of the web server was screwy – it thought that it was August 2001. So all the posts where there but wouldn’t appear for another four years.
Thanks for you help guys.
I just tried changing through all the default themes … no help. None of the files have been modified since the site was working.
I tried uploading another index.php file from another install which was working. I wanted to see if the ‘have_posts()’ call worked the same way. No dice.
Do I need to change the IP address of the DB_HOST in the DB itself or is the only place that is required is in wp-config.php?
