Firstly, that's the good news.

When you say "upload a php file" do you have a clue as to which module was used (if any)?

What does Protector's "Protect Centre" say?

You need to look at your server logs for the time in question and go from there. Where was it being uploaded to (which folder)?

Also, looking at the list of modules you have, it might be that its a server security issue rather than a XOOPS module issue.

You have to match the dates in both. Then in the Apache log you can do further lookup and follow the trail by IP number and/or browser signature.

That's very radical, but mosttimes other ways are used to compromise the server.

I'm with Ghia - sounds a bit hasty to me

Protector caught the attempted upload and it may have been a one-off.

But it's your site so who are we to comment
