Well I installed this the other night to see if it worked, it did send me some emails saying there were hack attempts, but all of them except for 1 were legitimate board request. How can I be so sure, well my i.p. created them.
Since then None of my members can log into the site and I keep getting error messages non stop literally for the past 14 hours. I had 24000 new error emails when I logged in to my gmail account.
So my question to you is could this be because the information in the config.php file does not correspond with the real password for the root directory. t.b.h. I am not sure if it is still correct or not as we do not own the server that we run the boards on and we do not have permission to access the root directory. We only have permission to access the forums directory and lower. I messaged the server owner, hopefully he will know if the passwords match up and maybe be able to fix them if this is the case. Here is the message maybe you can tell me for sure if it could even be created by your hack or if I should be looking into another problem.
