Can't access forum index page

registered · Worker Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 211

Here's a new one. I think I may have been hacked, but ain't too sure. I can access every page in my forums EXCEPT the forum.html (forums.html) or (forums.html?file=index)

Every other forum page works, except the index.php page. I have checked the .htaccess and cannot find anywhere it is being blocked or redirected. I checked the server logs and file dates and have not found anywhere anything has been changed.

Every other page works:

http://www.bootleghollow.com/forum-1.html

From there log in with the username and password below and move around all you want:

Uname: ElephantMan
Pwd: elephantman

Everything works.

Anyone ever run into this before, or know how to fix it?

Site is http://www.bootleghollow.com

This one has me stumped.

Have you turned $display_errors=true; in config.php?

Yas, I have left it on to try and locate the problem. No errors come up. It's like somewhere there is a hidden deny access to modules/Forums/index.php

At least that's how it looks. The server doesn't even recognize the file as being there. The only way I can access the file is by directly typing in the address http://www.bootleghollow.com/modules/Forums/index.php
Any ideas? I am stumped big time.

This just keeps getting better. I can log onto the forums using my pockerPC! It is running Windows Mobile 5, but still can't get in with IE or firefox.

OK, I have resolved this problem. It seems the PJIRC Chatroom script to put the Chatroom Statistics on the Index of the forum all of a sudden started causing problems.

I have had this installed for several months, and this is the first time it has ever caused a problem. Needless to say I removed the code for this in the index.php.

Whew! Wasn't hacked after all. God bless NukeSentinel!!!!!!
