Hacking WordPress on my server

  • I’ve had some hacking into my servers and htaccess files across all my wp web sites recently. Least this is the conclusion I’ve come to?? I still haven’t got my sites up after two weeks now.

    Not only that i didn’t know where to start because i could not even log into the servers and the ftp stopped as well.

    So far i have found that each of the htaccess file have been either changed, deleted or removed, something different for each site.

    I get 500 internal errors on loading any site 2.9.2. There is some villans out there that really try to mess your world around.

    Yes i believe that could of done some difference somewhere. Site two is up and running again now, all pages seem untampered with. But when clicking on any of the Simple:Press Forum thread it loops around to the same permalink to the original forum page number.

    I haven’t upgraded the Simple:Press forum to see if that renders it compatibly with WordPress 3 (next try).

    Site three is now getting this Mysql database page error as pasted below! The MyPHPAdmin and there is a second (foreign) database in there as well as the one there used to be.

    I’m actually not sure what action to take with this below error.

    Error page when trying to load third site:
    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the jaffas2_wrdp1 database.

    Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user jaffas2_wrdp1 have permission to use the jaffas2_wrdp1 database?
    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_jaffas2_wrdp1. Could that be the problem?

    That’s quite descriptive. Are you sure that the “jaffas2_wrdp1” database exists and that the user “jaffas2_wrdp1” has permissions to use it?

    I’m trying to determine where to give permissions so that word press can access the database… to see if that’s a solution to the problem!

    You can probably set that somewhere in your hosting provider’s control panel. If your hosting provider uses cPanel, the section would be called “MySQL Databases”. If not, look for something called “phpMyAdmin”. If you still can’t find anything useful, contact your hosting provider.
