CMS for my website - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

**kziclan** · #1 (**permalink**) 21-07-2007, 20:54

Hey, recently there has been a problem in the forum admin section of my nuke-evolution install. Everytime i attempt to enter the admin panel i get the message "Hack attempt" i have posted my query on the nuke-evo website, they have gone through all possibilities with me that could have been my own fault, however even after a clean install of the CMS i still get the message. Basically my question is: has there been a change to your hosting that could have caused this? and is there a way to solve it?

Thanks,

Aleem.

Hello Aleem,

As its a Nuke CMS so definitely there has to be something with our security settings. Simply open a ticket from http://support.eukhost.com and mention that you need your ticket to be answered by senior system administrator only.

You will get detailed explanation for this problem. Most of the CMS are still running on 5 - 10 year old background and they are highly insecure.

Well it does not mean that you website was under a "Hack Attempt". All CMS application have a security setting that does not allow the world to broswe the included PHP pages/codes. That is, all illegal browsing will through that message.

For example:
If you try to broswe:
http://domain.tld/cms/includes/
OR
http://domain.tld/cms/login_required/

will generate that message. It has nothing to do with the Hacking in any ways.

I think the problem is with either sessions or mod_security settings on the server in your case.

LOL changing hosts did sound a bit random.

Ive opened a ticket now anyway.

Ive already disabled mod_security

This problem has been sorted, it was an error in the config.php of your CMS that was causing it.
This has been fixed and replied.
