My host has changed some security settings on my server because of a hack attack, and now the upload file feature of my forum has stopped working. I have an unmodded forum, and have not changed anything at all that would affect the uploading.
Here's is their email they sent me :
What was happening is your upload script was trying to access resources outside the root folder which in the new setup wasnt permitted.
To resolve the error all you need to do is modify the part of the code which tries to access outside root folder resources by either commenting the call to the method or by removing it all together and that will resolve the issue..
It also explains why our script was able to upload without an error, because it wasnt access resources outside root folder..
Any ideas on what needs doing to resolve this? I'm no programmer and nothing stands out as to what needs to be done
Thanks in advance
