MyBB Community Forums

This forum is hosted on my server, and it's getting an error that I can't seem to figure out. When accessing any page in the root directory (index.php, showthread.php, etc.) it simply gives the message "Access Denied".

When accessing folders, like /admin/ or /images/ everything works fine. Nothing on the server seems to be causing the problem.

This is what the page is returning:

Access Denied

The website (Once it is back online, it is potentially NSFW so warning): sextoychat.com


In addition, in the Admin CP User Management --> Edit User

The tab "Account Settings" gives access denied while Avatar, Signature, and Mod Options doesn't return anything.

Any plugins?? That text only seems to be generated by MyBB when you don't have permission to access a part of the ACP, and not in that way anyway.

Master Meta Tag was installed when this happened. I deactivated, uninstalled and deleted it though.

What is the permissions set on those files? I remember having it myself to index.php and after cmodding it the issue went away.

I looked, everything was properly CHMODed.

Quick way to rule out plugins (really wish I remembered to suggest this more often...)... in ./inc/init.php, find:

define("TIME_NOW", time());

add after:

define("NO_PLUGINS", 1);

If it's OK after doing this, it's a plugin, if it still happens, it ain't.

Ah! We're getting somewhere:

Access Denied
Fatal error: Call to a member function run_hooks() on a non-object in /home/sextoych/public_html/inc/functions.php on line 238

That's... weird. Not what I expected to happen. Did you just add that one line?? If it's giving this error then $pluigns hasn't been defined, and that code shouldn't affect that.

Yes, that's all I have added in. If you wish, I can give you FTP access to look around (if you don't have time, no problem).

I'm thinking if anything, a clean install may be necessary.

I can have a quick look now.
