G'Day happy smiley peoples... hope all is well where you are and not too wet...
i am having a problem with one of my sites
its using 7.6 patched
www.lismorespeedway.com
i am getting errors in admin.php, modules.php, somaire.php (menu module) and others....
i am getting a number of error messages.... the most common being
| Code: : |
| Warning: opendir(modules) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /usr/home/web/users/a0019619/html/admin.php on line 252 Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /usr/home/web/users/a0019619/html/admin.php on line 253 Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /usr/home/web/users/a0019619/html/admin.php on line 258 |
and you can change admin.php for another file mentioned above....
i also get the error
| Code: : |
| There is a big problem here: we do not have a Homepage!!! [ Add a Module in your Home ] |
on the home page
when you click modules under admin it comes up blank....
--------------------
I have tried....
uploading new copies of all files i think could be related.. (ie new copies of root .php files somaire files ect
had a look in the database but dont really know what i am looking for.. so left it alone... but nothing jumped out at ame as being wrong...
hope you guys can help would be much apreciated...
really hope i haven't missed something really simple here...
cheers
my other thought is that i have been hacked and they have changed something... so if this should be in security sorry
Hmmmm, is your main modules folder actually there?
Seems to be a permission problem... thanks.... i have contacted my site admin....
Hey guys... this is really funny....
this is the reply email i have received after quiering the issue

now thats all well and good... fine something needs an update... so i sent an email asking which file i need to update... and ask for the origanal email they said telling me to fix the problem
their responce
| Code: : |
| I was unable to find the original email sent by our admin, but this is the note on the account: "The script they are using is vulnerable. Hackers able to scan other servers from our server. chmod'd 000 modules folder." Please let us know if you need additional assistance. |
so they cant tell me which file/s i need to install an update on... and even if they did they have chmoded the modules directory 000... which means that I do not have access to change anything.....
they are so helpful arn't they.... .
Change hosts... they can't find the mail they sent you originally and they won't say which module is at fault so disabled the whole modules folder, including your ability to actually fix the issue they are asking you to fix... So - what has suddenly changed on your site that they make this change now... why not much earlier??
yeah i am changing hosts...
just thought it was a funny story that i would share...
as to whats changed... i have no idea... LOL
they still havent told me what the vulnerabilty was even...
