Admin_Main Disappears repeatedly????

Post by OnCJ »

Script URL:
Version of script: 2.2
Hosting company:
URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: admin main

Write your message below:

Ok this is weird, admin_main.php keeps being deleted from the hosting server. I just installed hesk and it seems to be working well but this is the second morning in a row that admin_main.php is not in the admin directory. I know for a fact I re-uploaded it to my server yesterday and this morning it's gone again? WTF??

My guess, as I don't believe in ghosts and mysterious disappearing code, is that admin_main.php is trying to do something that is causing it to be removed by my hosting company. Please advise what is going on here?
Hesk is a great looking helpdesk, I've already handled a couple of tickets with it and can see it going into my full production setup but I need an answer to the disappearing file?

TIA

It's possible your hosting company is deleting the file because it has some encoded code inside (eval and gzinflate a base64 encoded string). The code is used to handle licensing, but some PHP hacking script use the same technique to hide source and hence some anti-virus software falsely flags any encoded PHP code as a potential flag.

Check with your hosting company - they should be able to confirm and add admin_main.php (and inc/footer.inc.php as well!) to exception list.
