'register_globals' : on Not secure
This setting invites a variety of injecting attacks.
If you can put .htaccess, edit or create...

/home/preemie/public_html/cms/.htaccess

php_flag register_globals off


What should a htaccess file look like,
each time i make one i get a internal server error.

thanks, but this is 2.01? Is that still ok to use to upgrade from 1.01. i am looking at migrating but I just want to secure the site for now as It obviously takes a lot of time.

thanks, we got protector up and running ok, except someone still managed to hack user.php which i easily uploaded from backup. Any ideas how they did? Alos WF-Sections V1.02 is not found on the web link suggested.

suggestions?

Followed protector step by step however the module never appears in the list to install and the admin page loses its format until i delete protector from the modules dir

Also wf-sections 1.02 download gives a 404 error

here is my config, a made a XOOPS_TRUST_PATH folder in my directory ie /myfolder above public html

Yeah, almost daily my XOOPS kids site gets hacked by some Russion or turkish outfit, well according to their lovely pictures.

I am at a loss to stop it. They seem to get the ftp password, upload a new index.php and xmlrpc.php.

Any suggestions or help. I would need specific help if possible as i am nopt a developer or designer so it would have to be step by step, preemie.info is the site so any one who would not mind could jump it and help me out.

Originally i used the built in link module however where i referred to them as the most popular they refused to open only when I went direct to the links themselves. (just went back to home page)

We installed wf links. Although it looks fine when you click on a category it just goes to a blank page.

You can see the main index and the number of links and you can see all the links in link order in admin and now popular and recent blocks work ok. The opposite of my original issue.

I am not a developer but need some suggestions.
