Surely CPG Nuke is just another PHp Nuke clone/branch ? If so the guestbook should work with it.

You said you were using a mod.

No sendmail path means no sendmail. Speak to your hosts about it but it looks like they don't provide you with sendmail.

have you tried just using the default guestbook installation? See if thats slow?

He probably used Lloyds mods in which case he had no choice but to use Lloyds templates.

BASE_URL IN ADMIN/CONFIG.INC.PHP

Yup if you add the index.php it works because of the way it auto detects it's location. I think I'll look into that one.

admin/config.inc.php you need to set the base_url in there. This is the topic of many a thread in here.

hmmm did you change it to just name? I'm sure it was gb_name in 2.2. Changing the input names is a simple way of avoiding the automated spam.

Did you change the name input at some point? Check the name of the name input in your template. It should be name="gb_name".

There was no need to upgrade your guestbook from 2.2. You could of simply applied the patch. Now you have said you were on 2.2 then maybe the defacement was actually done via the admin panel. Is it only going slow since updating to 2.3.1 ?

Was it slow before the defacement or only after? Since you are using 2.3.1 I assume the defacement was a div covering the upper part of the screen. You are still susceptible to this as you are allowing HTML in posts. This means they can post ANY HTML code. So first thing to do is disable HTML.

Never used the poll myself but at a guess it submits the vote to the page it is on so you end up back at the page the voting was on but seeing the results. Possibly I'm wrong, Auron is the Advanced Poll guru.

Wonder if Auron means Au ron. Au is chemical symbol for gold so golden ron? Sorry been a long day.

The question is does your new host provide the sendmail function? You could ask them or you could make a new file called phpinfo.php. In that file put
Now upload the file and view it in your web browser. It will show you all your PHP settings. Look for sendmail. Some hosts turn off sendmail as it can be used for spamming.

Banned IP's are stored in SQL so file permissions would make no difference. Are you putting them on different lines?
