Customizing SMF > Joomla Bridge Support
SMF/Joomla site possibly hacked
rsmini:
Just noticed I dont have a settings.php or settings_bak.php installed. I will just reinstall them and see what happens
Reinstalled via a clean download of 1.1.11 the index page now shows this

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later

Was your Jooma site up to date? Are you sure it's SMF they hacked? Make sure no scripts were placed on your server to create an entrance!
The errormessage either means the databaseinformation stored in Settings.php is incorrect or there is a problem with your server.

Thats where it gets confusing, we have no idea if we have been hacked or not. We are working on moving the joomla site to the latest 1.5 version. The host is also totally confused. We have asked them to restore the site back to 3 days previous to the problem. They are having problems with that as they say a big chunk of the site is missing and something is blocking the site from showing in browsers. The site and forum both stopped working at the same time. As far as I can tell looking at the site through ftp everything is in place
Hopefully we will be back soon as we get a million visits a month. would this be better in a thread of its own?

What bridge were you using? Did you check your database info for SMF?
For the 403 error, check the filepermissions for index.php in your root. It should probably be set to 644.

Nah, took care of that ;) I'm even tempted to move this to the Joomla board, but I'll see where this goes first.
rsmini:
I don't want to too much today other than check things as I have a guy at the host working today (Sunday) and he is going to have a good look for me and see if he can sort it. Also I will post what I have done recently to the forum to see if anyone has any clues
Thanks for your time with this I do appreciate your help
