Modernvox Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Howdy! Wondering why my index page has all of a sudden decided to redirect users to a non-existing error.php? I mean, seriously the site had been working all day and then Bamm! Goes blank and shows nothing at all. Yarpool.com I don't get it? What should i be looking for? Oh yeah i am getting this error on another of my sites Cannot connect to DataBase: vvoyvwd_auctions Reason: Access denied for user 'vvoyvwd'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Script run being aborted for : Could not connect: Access denied for user 'vvoyvwd'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171357-solved-what-should-i-be-looking-for/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd change all your passwords then go fix your site. G thanks! I'm over here punching holes in walls and your telling me I've been owned. Are u telling me that someone has hijacked or hacked my Cpanel and did this? I know this is true because last week i got in 2 a little shouting match with my hired coder and that night all my folders and files were missing. I contacted the freelance site about it and once they contacted him the fikes were back up.. Of course he said "I did nothing" Need;ess to say he got his pay and now here i am again with a messed up site. Except this time all the folders and files are there, but can't open pages? Anyone want to take a look and see if they see anything out of wack because i have to be honest.. I spent a lot on these scripts and now i don't know what to do?

trq Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Anyone want to take a look and see if they see anything out of wack We can't see anything by simply looking at your page via a url. We need to see code. Did you get a zip file or similar when you first received the site from your programmer? You should have. If your not sure where to start I would start by changing all your ftp / shell passwords, remove all current files then replace them with the contents of your zip. If you don't have a zip, then you'll likely need someone who knows what there looking for to take a look for you.

oni-kun Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 "Cannot connect to DataBase: vvoyvwd_auctions Reason: Access denied for user 'vvoyvwd'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" That simply means you are denied access to the database with the username vvoyvwd.. If that is not your username, then someone has obviously uploaded .. poorly, a database which would probably contain something bad within it, you're lucky it comes up as an error. You mentioned you had cPanel? Well, Go check your cpanel logs etc! Edit: was that your database? I doubt it's a hacker problem then, go check with your staff support to see if SQL servers are up.....

dreamwest Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Check htaccess that it doesnt have this RewriteRule ^$ error.php it should be RewriteRule ^$ index.php Also error.php is refreshing constantly, start by deleting it and index.php and reupload them, change index.php to 444, if someone is hacking they will alter index.php again.

RichardRotterdam Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Do you happen to store your passwords in a ftp client? If so it could be that some virus is stealing those passwords from it.

Also error.php is refreshing constantly, start by deleting it and index.php and reupload them, change index.php to 444, if someone is hacking they will alter index.php again. If they do change it again ban everyone temporarily : I wouldn't be able to do this because all scripts pointing to index.php will no longer fuction? I guess? # limit access to local area network <Limit GET POST PUT> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 192.168.0.0/33 #your ip </Limit> I wouldn't know where to begin to place this code, sorry? Remove all frontpage "vti_cnf" directories if you have them ?

Daniel0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The file passwd.inc.php is being included. Try taking a look at that file. Sounds like it could be that one.

Modernvox Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thank you everyone- The problem was: The host changed the Cpanel password, but the db was never changed. I couldn't find the file containing then db password because it wasn't the config file it was in a passwrd.inc file Chanegd that and now it is fine. Again thanks to this community. I will always come here for php related issues and hopefully someday pass on what i have learned to others! Awesome, thanks!
