Blank main page

Postby carlsojos » Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:24 pm

For some reason it appears that there is no index page for the site right now- I don't even see any HTML when I check the source at http://www.pscave.com. The rest of the site seems unaffected and can be browsed normally.

The main page has been replaced by weird PHP code targetted at a WordPress installation (that doesn't exist) multiple times now, only to be reverted an hour or so later.

Missagh is looking into it.

I have received a respond from tech support:

Hi!

There was a hack/abuse that cleared the index files on a few accounts on that server.

But this was on the 20:e !!

We restored the blank pages with backup index files and it should be ok again.

The index files we see on pscave.com and /forums has not been changed again after this date.

Strange!

We are scanning your account for virus/spyware now

There is nothing that I can do currently besides monitor the site if there will be any further blank pages. It would be very helpful if you guys will report if the index page goes blank again. Thank you!

Page is still blank for me, I haven't seen it get restored. (Late reply, I didn't notice the thread start).

If you can get past the index page, the rest of the site is still here and fully functional.

@carlsojos It works fine for me and I have not received any further reports about this for days now. Can you please do the following:
* Empty your cache and see if it works
* If not, please test it in a different browser
* Empty cache, restart computer and try again

It would be helpful if you could do this as I need to confirm that this problem is still current before I forward it again to my host. Cheers!

Okay, for some reason Chrome didn't want to reload the page- loading in IE tab worked fine and clearing my cache fixed the problem.

Yeah, Dreamer had the same problem. It seems like Chrome likes to be very aggressive in its caching, much like Internet Explorer.
