I applied a hack to rhost.inc.t to return a custom host for a specific IP belonging to a paranoid user who thinks that someone will find him and do bad things to him if they know he is connecting from ri.ri.cox.net and doesn't reveal his real name.
Anyway, I couldn't get the hostname in his posts to update, so I ran a theme rebuild, consistency checker, and then I compacted the message files, something I had never done before. When I did that, ALL my messages disappeared. The contents of my "messages" directory is this:
[root@host5 messages]# ls -al
total 1260
drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 May 20 18:41 .
drwxrwxrwx 13 apache apache 4096 Sep 13 2005 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 14 Sep 13 2005 .htaccess
-rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 1270375 May 20 18:41 private
My hack to rhost.inc.t is: (assume 127.0.0.1 is the actual IP and User is his actual username)
if ($ip == '127.0.0.1') {
$name = 'User.is.paranoid.com';
}
return $name;
}
We are running a disk utility to try and bring back the files, but is there anything else I can do?

What version of the forum were you using? There are a few versions that had a buggy version of the message compactor in them.

I believe that version was one of the ones that had an issue with the compactor.
