Thanks... I'll do that.

I was updating our website's phpBB, and accidentally deleted an important directory. I'd backed up the site a month ago, and tried to download the backup, but I'm completely unable to access or work with it because of permissions issues. When trying to get the file over FTP, I get the message "backup-9.27.2005_16-34-43_*******.tar.gz: Permission denied Error -160: could not start data transfer" What can I do? We need our BBS back! EDIT: I've tried changing permissions from FTP, the file manager, and cron... all report that they are unable for permissions reasons.

Permissions turned out to be the main issue — my ftp client kept changing them. Thanks, Bruce. Don — I wasn't the original site writer, but I believe it's homegrown. I'll keep updating its checks as the attempts get logged. And thanks to everyone else for the warm welcome.

I realized yesterday that a contact form on our site was being exploited (header injection). I've been trying to block it, but things keep getting through. I decided to set up a logging system — when someone uses the form, everything they submit is stored to a file using fopen, fwrite, and fclose I spent all day trying to add this to our script. What I just realized is that if I call, for example, fopen("contact.log","a"); , the script crashes. EVERY TIME. I've wasted a day, and don't know what to do…
