Hello all,

Somewhere i made a mistake with my PHP-Nuke site.
I have changed something in a script somewhere so now i've no access to my Forum, Forums-Admin, Member-list, Private Messages,Submit-News,ViewOnline(users).
When i try to access it says "Hacking Attempt"
Who can see the connection between these scripts ?
My site works with:
PHP-Nuke 7.6 / 3.2b patched / BBtoNuke 2.0.21
Sentinel 2.5.11
Approved Membership 6.1.6-7.6-3.2
Forum News Advanced 3.0
and with many Mods installed.
Last Mod that i applied:
Complete Banners 1.3.4

I need some help to solve/debug my problem or can give me a hint how to track this down.
I hope someone has some time left to help.
I tried everything but with no result, i'm calling for help !

Whe you get the message 'Hacking Attempt', is anymore information displayed?

Well, it is a good bet that it is always related to the last mod you installed. Wink

Did your install of "Complete Banners 1.3.4", by chance, require any changes to mainfile.php? If you just replaced your mainfile.php with whatever was given, that is always a NO-NO because mainfile.php is used everywhere, so one small difference / error in coding can mess up your entire site. You have to make these edits very carefully.

I searched through the entire PHP-Nuke source code and that exact error message is related to the defined constant of IN_PHPBB not being there. I am guessing that your code issue might be somewhere around this code:

Code:







if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');


} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');


} else {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');


}





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."db/db.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/sql_layer.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/ipban.php");


if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {


  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");


}





if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  if(empty($admin_file)) {


    die ("You must set a value for admin_file in config.php");


  } elseif (!empty($admin_file) && !file_exists($admin_file.".php")) {


    die ("The admin_file you defined in config.php does not exist");


  }


}

Good luck.
