We lost our forum over night

Hi!
We had 2.0 version before but suddenly we now have 2.1 RC4 without doing anything. And now our forum is just showing a blanc screen. And in Incognito mode we see this: https://d.pr/i/1lJTvy [nofollow]
Can the page med automatically updated?

Please help! Right now we have not traffic.

SMF itself will not automatically update - not even minor patches, definitely not full scale upgrades.

That said if you install SMF from some one-click hosting setups, *they* might auto-upgrade you.

I think you need to talk to your host to find out what happened.

As mentioned above, smf does not automatically upgrade itself. Who is your host? Do you have a recent backup of your database?

Just to make sure we have all the facts right, how did you you figure you have RC4 now if all you get is a white screen?
I seem to remember you telling you were running RC3 before.

There is no way an upgrade happens on it's own, or even by a simple mistake click - And if your host did upgrade you to an RC version without communicating with you, I would switch hosts if I were you.

EDIT:
if I got the address right, you can just add /index.php to your url and you will see the forum. Indeed on RC4.
The server is just showing PHPInfo to you if you go to the domain directly without specifying a file to load, and this would be a configuration issue on the server side.

Thank you. We managed to fix it. Now its 2.1 and working.
