    I’ve just looked in my log files and found that a series of files have been put in a sub folder of my css folder of my template.

    There are about 1200+ HTML files in there, with a css file.

    Would 777 permissions have caused this problem? opening?

    here is an example file

      What version of MODx are you running? Do you have access to your apache access logs around the time of the creation date of those files?

        Looking at the logs now. I can’t delete the folder off my server either it says permission denied. I can rename it though.

          I think you’ll need to look for a POST ... what version of MODx again?

            You should be able to go into your domain’s Control Panel (Cpanel, Plesk, etc) and delete it.

              Version is 0.9.6 - not sure how to look in the log files. I will search for POST in the file.

              Still can’t even through cPanel. I will try the legacy version of the file manager now though.

              [edit: tried with legacy version, still no dice - have now contacted provider to delete for me]

              Thanks

                OK, host has sorted the problem with deleting the files;

                apparently, from my host.

                You should be ok now, the folder was uploaded as group nobody which is quite commen when a script uploads something, this is what prevents your access.

                Kind Regards,

                Still very concerned about how access was achieved. Can someone help me get the permissions correct. I’ve changed everyting to 775 as a precaution. some were 777 some weren’t.

                I’ve left Cache, Files & Images are all still 777

                Is 755 correct for the others?

                Thanks in advance

                  There are so may POST from my IP address and a few from some others (I presume when they fill out the feedback form on the website). Not sure what to do here guys...

                  undecided

                    Permissions "being right" completely depend on how your server is set up.

                      Start looking at the dates around when the files were created... figuring this stuff out is never easy. You might want to talk to your host about this.
