Help!!!!

Hey guys,

Whenever people try to log in, they are getting this error all of the sudden, it appears in the middle of the page, and they cannot login

PHP Code:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/extreme-/public_html/forums/includes/init.php
Line: 27 


At the very top of the page, above my forum logo, this message is generated too:

PHP Code:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /global.php on line 659 


I made zero changes to the website, so I have no clue why this is happening. Big problem is I cant even log into the admincp! it throws those errors and send me back to the login screen. I'm currently running vb 3.0.7..

THANKS!!

BUMP! Please, someone has to have some idea what is going on. Please help me. We've ben down for weeks.

Well, it's unlikely that you're getting this kind of error on an unmodified board, so let's first try disabling any Plugins you may have installed. Place the following on its own line in your includes/config.php file:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then try logging into your AdminCP; see if the problem still exists.

Thanks for helping me! I added that line, and when i try to access the admincp i get a white screen with the following message:

PHP Code:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: %1
Line: %2

You're positive that you haven't made any file modifications to your board whatsoever?

Correct. My board does have hacks installed, but the last hack I did was a year ago. Like I said before it just started happening out of the blue a few weeks ago. I'm baffled why it's happening.

disabling hooks does nothing seeing as you don't have any.

an unmodified global.php isn't even that many lines in 3.0.7 , so, my best guess is you installed a code hack incorrectly.

forgot a closing } in an if or loop?

something had to be changed recently. stuff doesn't just break unless you have a hard disk error or something

[Big J]

I'm serious guys, I have not changed a thing for almost a year. I even did a full DB and file system restore to a week prior to my site going haywire, but it's still screwed up. Could I have been hacked in some way?

Protoman - I already tried commenting out the code from the hack that is on line 659, I dont get that specific error anymore, but everyone is still unable to login. I cant even get into the admin CP. Still throws this message:

PHP Code:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent. 


I even uploaded the default 3.0.7. files, but the errors remain the same.

[Kirk Y]

Ha ha, sorry. I just assumed you were running 3.5.x/3.6.x.

I'm at a loss then... if you've uploaded fresh files and still have the error, it's got to be something on your server's end. Try asking your host.

When was your last backup done? Do you have an autobackup going? Take the last backup before your site went hooey and reload.
