Defenestration Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 A few times during the 2.2 beta/RC stage I have tried to connect to the IPB forums, only to get an "IPS Driver Error" - There appears to be an error with the database. Why is this ? Has the forum been hacked ?Also, when I clicked on the Buy Now link for IPB about 20 minutes ago, I got the following error:IPB WARNING [2] rss_parse_feed_from_url(/home/invision/public_html/customer/core/sources/ips_kernel/class_convert_charset.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory (Line: 609 of /home/invision/public_html/ips_kernel/class_rss.php)What's that all about ?

Quillz Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 It's probably because of all the traffic that IPS is getting right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 It's probably because of all the traffic that IPS is getting right now.It's probably a DoS attack on the servers, I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon C Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 It has nothing to do with 2.2 or IPB's security, as confirmed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defenestration Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 The second error explains itself, see bolded part.IPB WARNING [2] rss_parse_feed_from_url(/home/invision/public_html/customer/core/sources/ips_kernel/class_convert_charset.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory (Line: 609 of /home/invision/public_html/ips_kernel/class_rss.php)I realize that, but why was this file missing ?It has nothing to do with 2.2 or IPB's security, as confirmed here.Thanks for the info. Stewart mentioned that the problem has been formally addressed. Does this mean that it was a DoS attack or some other problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it may have been a security thing, if people could see the SQL stuff maybe they could compromise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I noticed that when this showed the mysql error wasn't being displayed (same as when on my test site I changed the password in conf_global.php)Have you removed the mysql error from display??
