Why: .../admin/index.php?_sx_=9d7c5ecd

Post by burlington »

This is related to my posting: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 28&t=74060

If I try to login to .../admin now, I get:
.../admin/index.php?_sx_=9d7c5ecd

Frankly, I really don't know where to go from here, apart from ditching the whole damn site and starting from fresh with the latest CMSMS version and a clean server.

Any advice would be appreciated please. For the record, whatever I do on this site is for free.

Thanks

Martin

That in itself doesn't say much...
However _sx_= does hold the session id in some versions of CMSMS and is a valid parameter.

Are you saying you get that in the URL and can't do anything in the admin or ?..

This is all that happens, and there is no access to the login facility.

If you go to yoursite.com/admin/login.php and don't see the login inputs or get a 400 no such page error then someone renamed the admin folder or they hosed the site...

Thank you everyone for you help. The problem has now been solved, I hope.

My website host got on to the issue and he wrote:

<quote>
I've just analyzed your error_log (which is quite large whilst filled with a single error, and I shall remove it), and it seems that one folder the CMS was trying to access had no permissions (public_html/uploads/images/dump).
</quote>

The hacker seems to have had a great time and my opinion of the hosting company has gone up by leaps and bounds.

Again, than you.

ps the same sort of lettering still appears at login but I can now get in!

For anyone else reading this, if you get to ".../admin/index.php?..." you are already logged in, if you aren't seeing anything that you can do it is either because your user doesn't have any permissions or that there is an error that is preventing the page from loading.
