EC2 Wordpress Lightsail Disappeared

Question

So I have this wordpress site that has been up and running with no issues since February. All of a sudden at around 330am, I am now getting a 404 error. When I check the var/www/html folder it's completely empty. No wordpress instance at all. I checked the database (phpMyadmin) and that is there. I do not know what could have happened and how to resolve this.

Answer

Hello,

I am not familiar with an event that could cause your instance to lose the content of its "var/www/html" folder.  Have you taken any manual or automatic snapshots of this instance?  If you have, the fastest recovery may be creating a new instance from that snapshot.  We have snapshot guidance that may be helpful which you can find here: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/understanding-instance-snapshots-in-amazon-lightsail
