CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm running CMSMS 1.2.3 on an Apache 2 server running PHP 5 and mysql 4. Yesterday, while trying to add an event to my calendar, the calendar admin page (after a very long wait) was blank. View Source in my browser was also blank. I tried this in several browsers on my machine (a Mac), and several other machines in the house (another Mac and a Windoze box running XP) with the same result.

I tried reuploading the entire CMSMS install to my ftp server to no avail. I desperately need to access the calendar because as a musician, it lets people know where I'm playing, etc. The calendar on the site views just fine. The url to my site is www.toddreid.com. The calendar can be accessed by clicking the 'gigs' link.

Any ideas? Any help is most appreciated!

What is your php memory_limit? If it's less than 16M, you could try adding:

ini_set("memory_limit", "16M");

to your config.php file.

Nullig,
It's set to 64M in both my .htaccess and my config.php file...it acts like a memory issue, but info.php tells me that:

                      Local Value    Master Value
memory_limit 64M           32M

So, it appears that I've got plenty of memory. Should I try, via phpmyadmin to delete what's in the calendar tables?

You could try uninstalling Calendar and re-installing it, to see if the issue resolves itself.

Well,
I found that I have apparently been hacked (or some serious bug of some kind). I went into the table in phpMyadmin and found that there were over 65,000 events in the calendar, all having NULL for all fields. I emptied the table and that did the trick. The module was simply getting overloaded.

Thanks for you help, though.

Reid, did you ever find out what caused you to get hacked? I'm a musician too and am setting up the calendar in some pages for folks and it would be a nightmare if there was some vulnerability that created 65,000 entries...

thanks!

CMSMS ver. 1.2.3 had a vulnerability in it, not calendar...
