I have 3 websites hosted on the same web hosting, and I have a problem adding new content to the Joomla powered sites. (All 3 of them uses Joomla) There are times when I just can't add any new content to the site because everytime I hit the submit button, I always get kicked out of the administration area and to the homepage of the site. But there are also times when there is no problem at all. I put this problem to the Joomla forum but nobody there seems to know the answer. Noone has given me any solutions yet. Has this ever happen to any of you? Now i even have another problem... I just went to my site http://www.financialfreedomawaits.com and I got a weird page titled "HACKED "........................ Can anybody please help? I contacted support a few minutes ago.
Reload a backup asap and make sure the host receives the tt. In regards to the original problem. The server you're on may be overloaded. If you are using a cpanel host go look at the "error Log" (you can find it on the cpanel front page). Look for things like this: If there are entries there, submit a tt with your host. If you don't get a response from them you may also want to post the additional information on the Joomla forum and possibly even on webhostingtalk.com . Good luck, -jay
I just checked my error logs and apparantly there are 300 errors just for today. Thank you so much for giving me the hint. I have contacted support about this.
Seems like your site has been compromised. Lately, I've noticed many webmasters complaining that their sites have been hacked especially by a Mosavi1986. I'm not sure if this would help, but typically the configuration.php file was replaced. You may have originally set the permissions to 777. Have the backed up configuration.php restored and you should be fine.
obenix, thanks for pointing that out. i think you're right. I noticed that my configuration.php was set to 777. how do I restore the backed up configuration.php?
Use your backup. There should be a configuration file saved in there. After restoring, remember to set the permissions back to 644.
But the perms on configuration.php should be set to 777 right? Because the Global configuration writes new data onto the configuration.php
Nope. Not necessary. Prior to changing the Global Configuration, set the file perms to 666/777. After changing and saving, change the configuration.php perms back to 644. Leaving it on 666/777 perpetually is dangerous.
It's a very good advice, believe me.... I've learned my lesson. Also, if you are using Joomla 1.0.7 or 1.0.8 you can check the box that says "Override while saving" and update the configuration without having to change the perms to 777 prior to the update. Less hassle.
