I am getting this error, is it concerning and what should be done to rectify it? Thank you for any help.

 

I have MOST of the security add ons/patches.

What exactly is the permissions on the /Scripts/.htaccess file? What are you doing with a Scripts directory? Did you actually install osCommerce into a directory named 'Scripts?'

 

And, likely, you are someone setup your cPanel options to use a custom error pages but then did not actually create them.

Scripts was part of a reference folder to my home page I designed using FilemakerPro on my iMac. There is no index file, it's all JS and CSS. When I got hacked before I did the security add ons I was told to eliminate any scripts and since my homepage design didn't depend on the scripts folder (not even sure why it is there) I deleted it. I'm trying to figure out If I can make an htaccess file to stick in there so the error will go away and if so, what should be inside that htaccess file?

 

 

My files for the home page are:

 

 

 

Then one of the files above reference a folder called Scripts which I deleted the contents of. My OSC is integrated into my homepage so it throws the error across the whole board.

We really can't help you out much when you X out all the pertinent information. The xxxxxx.html file is referencing something that wants to OPEN the .htaccess file.

 

It seems to me that this really is not an osCommerce question at all...

It's simply referencing my index which is not named index. it's a non existent home page with a permanent redirect to OSC. I am only protecting my privacy until I find out of there is a hole in my site security. That's ok,I'll continue studying. Thank you anyway. Have a good day.
