Hacked? Unusual Board Error

[Mr.Danko Jones]

http://board.gscentral.org/forum.php shows this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /www/htdocs/w0082736/includes/init.php(336) : eval()'d code on line 416
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /www/htdocs/w0082736/includes/init.php(336) : eval()'d code
Line: 416

I have tried checking the init.php file and replaced the file (which hadn't been modified apparently) with the default one from vBulletin and it still didn't fix things.

Any help?

Have you recently installed any mods? Lets test and see if it is a mod causing it.

Open your config.php and below<?php add this line:

PHP Code:

 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


So it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
/*=================================================  =====================*\
|| ##################################################  ################## ||
|| # vBulletin 4.1.4

Then check your site and see if the issue still persists, you must remove the define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); from the config.php if you want the mods running again.

The problem is on line 416 of some plugin. See if you can find one that goes in a hook location that sounds like something that would be found in init.php

Follow @Nerbert's suggestion, but this might help.

Look for plugins on "init_startup"...

In the plugin manager if you click on "Hook Location" on the top header bar -- it will sort by hooks.

Turned off the plug-ins...back came the boards! Thanks for the idea. Now to find out what plug-in is doing it!

Disable all the mods, then remove that line from the config.php

Then re enable each one till you find the culprit.

Nah I don't believe so, it is a modification that is causing the error.
