Hi all

Our site has recently been hacked because it was not upgraded to 1.5.6 in time and this has caused no manner of problems. We have eventually managed to patch the site with 1.5.6 but we are now left with fatel erros reading:

Warning: file_get_contents(/var/www/vhosts/telscombetowncouncil.gov.uk/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/config.xml) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/telscombetowncouncil.gov.uk/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/utilities/simplexml.php on line 177

Warning: file_get_contents(/var/www/vhosts/telscombetowncouncil.gov.uk/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/phocagallery.xml) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/telscombetowncouncil.gov.uk/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/utilities/simplexml.php on line 177

Is there anybody here who has had this problem before and how do I rectify it.

Regards

you need to delete the whole site and the database,

you need to contact your host and let them know what happened, and if possible, get moved to another server, one with phpsuexec installed

then you need to restore your site from a backup made before the hacking

and…change all passwords and log ins

thats the procedure
