index.php mixup
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Web
Last night I was up till 8AM, then woke up again at 11, been out for the last 12 hours. I come home and login to my computer, and the moment I do that Ian messages me with a link to the 540 site…
I click wondering whats up…and OH DEAR GOD…what do we have here!
Well it may not be the calamity that you imagined but it’s probably close enough…
I had been playing around with an online service by My Movies, and had somehow edited index.php in the 540 folder instead of in another folder. So I’m going crazy opening up Editplus, SmartFTP trying to login and somehow the server knew the urgency of the matter so it started rejecting all my connections.
But luckily I managed to get on, and upload an old backup file. Because the dynamic content on the page had been ‘include’ed, there had been very little content change since I had backed that page up just under a year ago.
Now the only thing left to update is the picture on the home page, I swear I had changed it and replaced it with a different one, but I cant remember which one now.
Anyway, life’s back to the regular old 70bpm, and I can try and resume where I left off in the morning - when I was in the middle of:
- 3 SSH Sessions
- 3 Browsers with a bajillion tabs
- 2 Irc Channels
- e
- Fixing a web application that didnt want to start with Apache
- Trying to implement muh
- And a partridge in a Ruby tree
So if anyone happened to see the perpertrating page, and also is looking at this now, I do appologize.
I also want to reassure you that I have properly scolded my text editor, and I am fairly confident it won’t try anything like this again!
