Help!

[LazyAK]

My site www.arcadegems.com can not be visited.

I have some thing pop up asking me to download a file.

It was working 10 minutes ago, I have not touched my site in ages.

I could not reach tech support from the host either because I get the exact same pop up when I try to load one of there pages.

Does anyone know what I have to do? Is it a server problem?

Can't you get into FTP? Check the index file.

I can but I have not changed a single thing in ages.

I do not know why it would stop working all of a sudden.

g8zv585l because thats the filename for some queer reason

How did you find that file name?

I have to rename the index to that correct?

I dont have a lot to lose, so I decided it, figuring you mighta been hacked or it were a virus. leavin it the same would be alright, just rename it to g8zv585l.php for now, and see what happens.

Is this the publichtml index, or the index.tpl file from the template folder?

When I changed the name on the publichtml index, I got the 403 error

I don't know honestly ;p

but heres the beginning of the PHP code

<?
//Purpose: This page will handle the bulk of the GameScript.net functionality.
// It's main functions will be to display the categories and games on the main page
// , handle game play display and all other pages.
// This is a templated system and will allow users to display any number of games for each
// category in the database in any format between 1-3 games per row. This will give them
// much more customization opportunities than before.
//
// To display a 'normal' page, as in non-functioning, the user only needs to pass the name
// of the template to this page and it will be displayed as 'content'.
//


require("system.class.php");//include the main game class
$sys = new GamesSystem();

//grab the variables passed via the Url
//see what we need to do
$action = (isset($_GET['action'])) ? $_GET['action'] : '';
$page = (isset($_GET['page'])) ? $_GET['page'] : 'index';
$search = (isset($_GET['search'])) ? $_GET['search'] : '';
$id = (isset($_GET['id'])) ? $_GET['id'] : '1';

might help you figrue it out

It's not a filename not having an extension, it's your server not recognizing the MIME type as something it should process. This can be caused by a number of reasons, but restarting your server should fix it. If you don't have that kind of access, contact your hosting company and let them know what has happened and they'll restart it for you.

If their website is doing the same thing, they're running their site on the same machine. I'd go with a larger company if I were you.

Unless they're on a distributed platform, in which case they're likely upgrading the grids software - but it shouldn't take that long and it wouldn't be done at this time so I'm going to go with my first explanation and recommend a different host.
