Phpbb wtf

by on Sep.01, 2009, under Software

Today, phpbb decided to fuck with me.
Or with lotjuh that is. She went to our forum, blank page.
I went there to check, works fine for me. Meh. Probably firefox fucking up as usual.
She tries lynx. Blank.
She tries telnet….

benv@janeman:~:1>telnet forum.handofhades.eu 80
Trying 80.69.76.81...

What. the Fuck.

So, I check the server logs. Nothing.
NOTHING!!!!

Restarted apache. Nothing (surprise!)

Started php myself on index.php. Nothing.
Strace on php to try to figure out what the fuck.
And then I get a glimpse of where it goes wrong when I see it enter a cache dir.
The cache dir has tons of stuff, but most of them look like these:

-rw------- 1 www www 316 2009-08-23 18:42 sql_a10522de103f7e26c0338f4a3982efe0.php

You get the point.


root@blue:/www/vhosts/forum.handofhades.eu/cache# rm sql_*.php

Fixed. Piece of cancer. Thanks for telling me…
