whoa kaotik, that's not the cause! Don't scare people with hackers when it's actually security that's causing it: it's a lockdown!
The cause is most likely that your host moved your account to another location, but kept an alias link pointing to your old path. XOOPS tends to detect the *real* path, and not the symlinked one, where this is concerned. Actually, this is a security system kicking in, preventing others from accessing your mainfile.php file from other accounts on the same server

So, now you know the cause, how to solve it? You will have to find out the *real* physical path to your website. One way to do that is to create a file called 'test.php' (or whatever you want to call it), and put the following code in there:

Then, upload to your site root, and load in your browser. Then you get a long page with all the php info for your server and account. See if you can find a script_path entry, or something similar, one that should display the whole path to your site.
Perhaps a developer will say that there is an easier way to detect the physical path to your site, but this worked for me
