Jack_mcs Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think someone else had that problem and mentioned they had to create the reference file first, or something like that. It is in this thread though so you can easily find it.

mshisha Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well I have tried every which way - creating sitemonitor_reference file first - changing all the sitemonitor files to 777 - not creating file first - ......still get these error alerts coming up. BUT it is working fine so .... great contribution just me has the little hiccup - and I can live with it to have that added sense of security on my website.

Guest Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 my email results are posting the same stuff in it day after day (a file i edited 2 days ago is still showing up as recently modified) this keeps building daily, unless i manually delete & restart the reference file. would it be possible to re-generate the reference file after each scan? so the results are fresh, like that of logwatch?

Guest Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Jack,I've installed version 1.5 In Site Monitor -> Admin, I get this error when clicking "delete reference file": Warning: fopen(sitemonitor_reference.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/myusername/public_html/admin/includes/functions/sitemonitor_functions.php on line 208 Failed to open file sitemonitor_reference.php I changed permissions for sitemonitor_functions.php but it makes no difference. Can you advise please? Isabella Did you get this resolved? I have the same situation because my web host does not allow fopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i am wondering if there's a size limit for your shop and this contribution. i've been getting this showing up in logwatch: WARNING: General Protection Faults in these executables php-cgi : 2 Time(s) the timestamp in the logs correlates to when i ran sitemonitor. quick searches mention the error stems from memory, but i am on a dedicated server with 2048 MB (far more than my site really needs to function properly) i disabled sitemonitor for a few days, the errors no longer show up.

♥Biancoblu Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Isabella Did you get this resolved? I have the same situation because my web host does not allow fopen. Gosh, sorry for my delay in replying, I hadn't checked this thread until today :blink:. To anwser your question, no I didn't get this resolved until I changed hosts/servers. Did you find a way round it though? @Jack I have what will probably be a stupid question, but this contribution doesn't detect changes in database, at least it doesn't for me, is that correct? And on timeouts, is it possible to instruct the server not to time out after 30 seconds? When I run sitemonitor, sometimes it's fine but other times it keeps timing out.

And on timeouts, is it possible to instruct the server not to time out after 30 seconds? When I run sitemonitor, sometimes it's fine but other times it keeps timing out. No, it doesn't check the database. There's no reasonable way to do that since the database is always changing. It times out due to the limit of the server. It might be possible to fix that using sleep commands but that would also open a hole where changes might go unnoticed. If you can cut down on the number of files being monitored, the timeout won't happen. If you can't, you can run more than one instance of the script and have each monitor a smaller set of files.

Thanks, I'll try that. @Coopco I'm glad you found a way to make this work as this is indeed an extremely useful contribution to have.

NEW FILES: Found a new file named store/images/1001.jpg.thumb_ 190x253.jpg Assuming that image is the result of some thumbnail contribution, the thumbnails may change often, depending on your setup. If that is the case, it probably would pay to monitor the images directory. Or see if the thumbnails can be stored in a sub-directory and then don't monitor it.

Petter On a server where there is apublic_html directory, the www directory is just an alias for it. But I'm not sure what happens to the code if you intermix those, as you have. I suggest using the public_html directory, that includes the configure file for the site, to avoid the possibility of such problems. Also be sure you have changed the username in the settings to the actual username.

I just had to alter the configuration file manually and put in the correct path, mail address and such. I have also protected my admin folder by .htaccess and .htpasswd and deleted the file manager so I hope I am better off now. Any other suggestions on how to protect my shop from beeing hacked would be appreciated. Petter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
