Abandoned by my PHP Developer
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 4:55 am
Hi everyone, i have just joined this site in an attempt to try and get information and help from you experienced people.
I have just had a site created by a friend of a friend who did the site for me quite cheap and he seemed to be a very fast effective developer. The site was tested on his server and has now been uploaded to the domain space. The trouble is that i paid him for the site as it was completed and he said he would pick up the snag list later, since then i found out that he never had any intention of picking up any snag list or making any further changes i was asking him to make to the site.
So. I logged into the site with my hosting provider and changed the passwords on the databases, yes i know i am stupid. I didnt keep the original passwords on the two DB's and now the site doesnt work at all. What i need is some information about where to edit the site and get the site back online, i presume there are pointers within the site to the db's where there must be a password store. Any advice or help at this point would be much appreciated.
