A full description of the issue:
1. Some weird characters appears at top left corner of some of my pages (including top page), these characters are "uth'; ?>"

2. After i login as webmaster and go to System - General Settings, it returns me with a blank page with above error messages.

You could have a look at my site:
http://kokhwa.orgfree.com
You are welcome to login as admin to see the 2nd problem as well
[edited by Herko: NEVER EVER POST ADMIN ACCOUNT INFO ON ANY PUBLIC FORUM!!]

Any hints or comments would much appreciated. I have google around but couldn't find any relevant help, please enlighten me. Thanks!

1st: never EVER post admin account details on this (or any) forum! Ever! You may compromise everyone on that server!

2nd: the notices are not the problem, a corrupt file probably is. This means that a file was not uploaded correctly during the upload, and is showing you part of its content (the "uth'; part), in stead of being properly parsed. You could do two things:

either reupload ALL the files (except mainfile.php) to the server, or find the one that is broken (by doing a full text search for the specific snippet you see on every page), and replace it with a decent one.

Hope that helps.

Herko

p.s. I edited your post to remove the admin account info...

Re: Xoops 2.2.3 problems at orgfree.com

Sorry for that, i didn't realise it could be so serious. As i think i can remove everything from my file manager and database if someone did something bad on it, as my hosting account login is different with the XOOPS webmaster login. I just want to show the broken of my System-General Settings function.

Thanks for the suggestion, i shall look into it. So it's a problem with uploading file...hmm, previously i thought it's a problem with php 4.4.1 or because the ads insertion script by orgfree.

Re: Xoops 2.2.3 problems at orgfree.com

I have solved the first problem. The problem lies in corrupted xoops_version.php in /modules/system. An extra php close tag (?>) was found at the end of the file. I removed it and the funny characters on my page disappear.

However, it doesn't solved my second problem. System-General Settings still return me with a blank page with the php debug message. Any idea?

I think most probably it's something unstable with the host server. I didn't modified anything but some time the "General settings" can be shown, but some time it just return me blank page. It's really strange..any idea?
