Something is adding 1. before 3 root files Topic is solved

[srab]

Hi, I have a problem something is disabling my site version 3.9.1, site is without any nonjoomla extension or plugin.

I found that something renames these files :
configuration.php
error.php
index.php

to
1.configuration.php
1.error.php
1.index.php

FTP hosting is secured by only one IP address to login, admin also.

Do you have any advise?

I just found out , that I had wrongly setup $log_path

Wrongly was there "www", right is "logs".
public $log_path = '/mnt/data/...../www';

Is possibility, that was the case of renaming? Because when I upgraded Joomla, files in logs folder rename same with prefix 1.

Is it still working for you ? We have this problem for a couple of months now and it's the first time I found out someone with the same problem.

No, after I had corrected $log_path in configuration.php, everything goes well.

Correct $log_path in configuration.php to reflect the proper log path

I think it's unlikely that your log path is changing file names. If it was I would expect the path to have the number 1 in it somewhere. When we see odd file names on a server it usually means the site was hacked.

That is incorrect. I have explained the reason. Don't post conclusions if you are not aware of what is happening

I've been struggling with this same issue since moving a site and the past three times, I just go in and delete the "1." added to the front of the three files (configuration.php; index.php; and joomla_update). I checked the path to the logs and perhaps Leo can answer this one (you've been so helpful in the past). The actual path to get into the logs folder is: "/home/***/***.com/logs" The path that is in the configuration file is: "public $log_path = '/home/***/***.com';" To fix it from adding the "1." to the front of the files, would I add the "/logs" and is that the proper line item, i.e. "public" because I did not see any other, unless it is in another location? I am not super techy so I really appreciate any help.

For me it was solved by correcting $log_path and $tmp_path.

You can detect your absolute path by this,
1. create path.php and paste code below.
2. put path.php to root of your site via FTP
3. run path.php via correct url https://www.yoursite.com/path.php
4. copy result to $log_path and $tmp_path in your configuration.php file and add /administration/logs & /tmp to $log_path and $tmp_path.

Code: Select all

<?php
    $path = getcwd();
    echo "Your Absoluthe Path is: ";
    echo $path;
 ?>

4. copy result to $log_path and $tmp_path in your configuration.php file and add /administration/logs & /tmp to $log_path and $tmp_path.

Thank you for this.

Quick Q: please can you clarify the above instruction? It doesn't make sense

TIA

Here is an example. The script may display the following absolute path:

Code: Select all

/home/fwbkxyzh/public_html

Now you can edit the server paths in the file configuration.php or in the back end at System - System Configuration:

Code: Select all

/home/fwbkxyzh/public_html/administrator/logs
/home/fwbkxyzh/public_html/cache
/home/fwbkxyzh/public_html/tmp
