Possibly hacked - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
i think hacked, i'm not certain. website had problem - registered users not log in. public home page reloaded, user did not registered content, , got no error message.
the problem may have resulted mistake of mine. keep configuration.php this:
----
<?php
require( dirname( __file__ ) . '/../joomla.conf' );
----
and have joomla.conf above document root, config data, per security recommendations.
my mistake accidentally overwrote configuration.php , put config data in it. it's @ root. few days ago. discovered when looked causes of problem. might have made site vulnerable hacks.
i talked techs @ host, , restored files backup made many days ago. fixed problem, site running ok now, no issues.
but question is, need more?
for example, if hack hacker might see secret word in config data.
so else need do?
i running 1.5.26
