fastek Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Something happened to the data base for my forum it looks like it was hacked into. I had support restore the complete site for me but the data base is still corrupted. My question is does the data base have to be restored sepratly. Rick Quote
LisaJill Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 It shouldn't need to be. You may want to submit a ticket again and ask them about it, as they know more of the history and can look at the account. =) Quote

If so check out this link http://www.kaspersky.com/news?id=156681162 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it is phbb and I think it is some kind of worm althogh not the one qouted here, My Problem now is that a full restore of my site does not fix the problem either I have even gone back as far a november 2. I was thinking maybe I have to delete my forum directory then have the site restored Rick Quote
fastek Posted December 22, 2004 Author Posted December 22, 2004 I have made some progress after I deleted the forum directory and did a full restore the virus seems to have gone, But now my data base is from a year ago I have asked tch to restore just the data base I have my fingers crossed that this will get my data back Rick Quote
TCH-Don Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Welcome to the Family and your new home! When you get this sorted out, be sure to goto cpanel > backup and download your database for your own backup. We really are like family here. So if you need anything, just ask your new family! We love to help Quote
jnull Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Another question regarding the cpanel backup relatvie to a FrontPage site. FrontPage allows you to enable chid-webs (subwebs) with different rights for browing and publishing. The rights are such that you require a username/password combination in order for someone to browse the site. Do you know if a restore from a cpanel backup also restores the FrontPage child webs with their original rights settings? Quote
LisaJill Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I know nothing about Frontpage but a restore from cpanel should, theoretically, restore ay "web protects" you have. Those are just . htaccess files so if thatis what FP uses, then yes. That said, I don't use cpanels backup/restore methods so I can't say this from experience. =) Quote
