I would say your problem is just with that particular module. I run PHP5 and have never encountered any problems because of it. If you go with Drupal or Joomla, you are going to wind up losing in the long run in my opinion as both are severly lacking in several areas XOOPS is not. Find another module like magazine, or have someone create one would be my advice.

Ok, I think I banned my own IP out of accessing the site!

How do I get back in? I put a list of banned IP's into protector. I guess I could edit the db table...

Do you think they logged in through myads or did they actually login as the admin?

You were suppose to setup an emergency Rescue Password in Protector in case you did that:

If you are banned out from your own site, access XOOPS_URL/modules/protector/admin/rescue.php and input this password.
Don't forget setting the password before you are banned out by some mistakes.
If this option is blank, the script disabling ban IP will never work.

From that script you pasted,it looked like they got in through MyAds to me, but one of the geeks here would be best to answer that.

Ok, password change coming up...


If thats the case, uninstall MyAds.

That is also a Turkish IP, and Turkey is currently a hotbed for hackers http://www.zone-h.org/

If your site is being rear ended through your host, he has to fix it. Someone may have admin rights to your host.

On the front end. The less you have exposed (viewable) to non-registered users the better

Turn Register Globals off with a .htaccess file:

php_flag register_globals off

Change your admin password to at least 12 random numbers and letters. Do not use common words, there are dictionary hacks for that. Like this: mKk08JjjUR9a

Make sure all your modules are up to date.

Did you do what Protector suggested under the
Security Advisory tab?

You may have patched MyAds, but that doesn't mean it's not vulnerable.

You can also change registration, so it requires admin approval. You can then google the person that registers, username and email, and see if they are posting in hacking forums.

There is a limit to the amount of information one can put in the signature area.

I have a couple of members that need to have the signature area increased for more information.

How would I change the amount of information that can be loaded in the signature area?

Thanks,
