Help me Fix a problem please

[jscrilla]

I have an error when I try to pull up my site now. It was working when I went to bed last night, but I'm afraid someone might have messed with it.

 

Anyways, the error is related to this bit of code in my application_top.php file:

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '.php');

 

What is this doing? How can I fix this?

 

My error logs show this

 

[Thu Oct 26 01:28:02 2006] [error] [] PHP Fatal error: main() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/development/docs/shop/includes/application_top.php on line 285

It can't find your language directory. If the files have not been changed then your database may be corrupted. I suggest gonig into phpmyadmin and doing a repair on all of the tables. Be sure to check the status afterwards to make sure they are all OK.

I tried what you suggested, but to no avail. I can't figure this out. The entire site is just down for some reason.

Ok, so I reinstalled the database and it worked. I guess that'll teach me not to do a backup of it. I still think someone purposefully crapped it out cause i didn't secure my admin area.

Databases can become corrupted for a variety of reasons. If your host doesn't do daily backup, then you might want to get into the habit of doing so yourself, or installing the automatic backup contribution.
