Didn't want a sex shop

[fatjack]

Just this minute registered on this forum. Have been playing with osc for a couple of weeks now and have found answers to all my questions so far by searching the posts - so thank you all for that.

 

I'm setting up shop for my friend

am testing online now and have already been hacked - my products box and manufacturers drop down menu has been populated with links to a sex store.

 

When I look in admin however everything seems ok - looking at files via ftp and control panel seem unchanged too.

 

Any idea how I can rectify and secure please?

 

the shop is http://www.flynnsbeefarm.co.uk/catalog/

I see no manufacturers drop menu at the site and no offsite links from the products therefore where is the issue?

[pynchon]

I see them

 

at least I presume yr man doesn't sell Bondage and Rubber Play products

 

curiously the other store is also an oscommerce one

 

could there be some mix up with the database .... that they (the devus bdsm site) could be inadvertently inputting products into your database ?

 

I've got no ideas as to a solution ... you may need to contact your hosting company for advice and investigation.

is it just me then seeing links to: http://www.devus.co.uk/catalog/index.php/cPath/19

oops sorry john post crossed over - you'd think if they were uploading to my site in error I'd see the files in admin

Everything looks good to me. I don't know the answer either, but this is usually blamed on shared servers.

An idea....

 

Search for the offending domain (devus)

 

Download a copy of the full database (or go to phpmyadmin and check each table)

open it and search for the domain name of the offending domain (devus)

 

if you find it you will need to delete (or correct) it - through the admin (or phpmyadmin)

(my guess is it is in the manufactures_info & manufactures table)

 

 

If you do find this domain there then you will need to also

 

Change the user and password for the database

 

go to cPanel, then to mysql databases, then to Add Users To Your Databases

Add a new user and password, Keep this window open,

 

open you configure.php files and changes the user and password

 

Visit the site make sure you can access it catalog and admin

 

if so, then go back to the cpanel - Current Users: and delete the original user/password.

Thanks for that, but doesn't seem to be drawing information from database - manufactures_info & manufactures table are empty a search revealed nothing will phone the hosts (compila) today.

 

btw sorry about the full quote above - not used to using this board - you'd think reply was the right button

go to you admin and disable cache. you are on a shared server, and another site's cat box etc is being pulled in.

That was it Monika - spot on - Thank You
