Orca script hangs

OK so the problem is that Orca now just shows the root tree for only one of my sites. All sites are on same server. This site with prob is hosted in sub-directory...

This is the url that it brings up after clicking on the Forum tab: www.bearvalleyvoice.com/community/orca

If you type in this: www.bearvalleyvoice.com/community/orca/index.php you can see the forums.

Also...interestingly, if I have the Forum set to members-only then why can I get in when not signed in as a member?

Need some help on this new problem when it was working before beautifully. This site is on SAME server as my other two sites using DV6.1.4, but this site is in sub-directory.

It has been running for a few weeks now...and I didn't notice this issue until yesterday.

Well so far I have checked the .htaccess in Orca folder to make sure that it says:

AddType application/xml .xsl



RewriteEngine On



RewriteRule ^group/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=goto&cat_id=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)-([0-9]+)\.htm$ index.php?action=goto&forum_id=$1&start=$2 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=goto&forum_id=$1&start=0 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=goto&topic_id=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^user/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=goto&user=$1 [QSA,L]



RewriteRule ^rss/forum/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=rss_forum&forum=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=rss_topic&topic=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^rss/user/(.+)\.htm$ index.php?action=rss_user&user=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^rss/all\.htm$ index.php?action=rss_all&sort= [QSA,L]

Then I added:

AddType application/php .php

Where do I go from here?

Since this site is in a sub-folder, if I made some security changes such as Mscott recommended...would this cause the prob?

i.e.

6. Block "libwww" bots and "remote file includes"

These lines in your home directories .htaccess will block ANY thing with the user agent "libwww" or "Wget".. they are both bad guys 99% of the time

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^libwww [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Wget
RewriteRule .* - [F]

This lines will block any remote file from being included in a local file, which is what is happening with this recent deal:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^http [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.+www\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.+https [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.+\.txt [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ftp
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]

5. Put appropriate .htaccess files in the 777 dirs.

.htaccess files are recursive meaning that if you put one in a directory all the subdirectories are effected. So in my media directory I block ALL scripts like this:

<LimitExcept GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>

<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|pl|py|bak|txt|htaccess|htpasswd|log|zip|asp|sh|shtml|js.*|gz|tgz|tar|php.*|htm.*)$">
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

That "limitexcept" blocks all "put" and "post" requests too. You CAN'T use this in a directory that has .php files inside it.. or any of the sub-dirs. But it SHOULD be inside ALL the /files directories for each ray widget, and the /media directory.

Still having this issue as well.....

errors after mod install.. roll back...please post issue if your mod messed it up or its code based.

I had to make a request to support@boonex.com to fix whatever was happening.

I had rolled back install to files when worked -- pre Mscott security items. Still had issues with Orca.

They fixed the site back to working condition, but I have no idea what caused it nor what they did to fix. I know this is frustrating and doesn't help anyone else or me for that matter. But it is fixed.

Perhaps artur can post what he did to fix.
