DesertRain Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 It's been up and running for a good 2 or 3 months and all of the sudden it just... dissapears. Here is the link: http://www.shoku-dan.plutosking.com/forum/index.phpIt just shows a table error message. Nothing was done to it before this happened, it just... died.I'm really new to this and trying to help a friend, so, please give me some help if you can ^_^ The owner of the forum is just out of ideas so I thiught I'd try posting here knowing someone must have an answer for us ^_^basically the host had a little issue Sephy (the owner) couldn't access FTP to update the main site or anything and then suddenly the forums said that the tables didn't exist.Here is a link to the main site: http://www.shoku-dan.plutosking.com/They are using a temporary forum, but have no idea how to save the posts.

Cenobitez Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Looks like some has deleted ur database, prob an injection hack, contact your host see if they have a back up they give you from a few days ago, or whenever it last worked.Also update to latest forum software, personally i only use PHPBB and SMF (PHP Freaks uses the latter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRain Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks!But, they are hosting it... downloaded it from Invision Power Board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenobitez Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You host should have a daily back up, and prob a weekly back up, its as well to set a cronjob to backup ur DB every few days as well :) If your going to reinstall go with phpbb or smf, just for extra security, but i have never really used other say better or worse, i have just never needed anything else :)http://www.phpbb.com or http://www.simplemachines.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procode Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I used IPB many times before and never had any hacking problems. I think it's great software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenobitez Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Like i said procode, I have never used it, or any others back in the day, i used ubb and phorum, but not used IPB, looks very like an SQL Injection dropped their tables, which leads to believe its insecure.
