website hacked - t3z - 2012-07-13

Hi,
I have had my website hacked recently and it was suspended by the host.
It is back up again, but the website is not working and I cannot get access to the admin.
I keep on getting this error below.

Zenphoto encountered an error
MySQL Error: Zenphoto received the error Access denied for user 'terence'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when connecting to the database server.

How do I get access to Zen photo admin again and change the password.

Also when I do a google search on my name I get this!

Please help!

With thanks,

Terence

Something is wrong with the database credentials you have supplied to Zenphoto. Perhaps they got changed by your site? Might also be that localhost is not the proper database server name. Usually it is not on hosted services.

Anyway, find the correct credentials (probably ask you host) and edit the zp-data/zenphoto.cfg file.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply!

localhost is not my database server name it should be ns3.ezyreg.com
Where do I find? zp-data/zenphoto.cfg

In that folder in you installation. You will need to use FTP to access the file

Hi,

I am able to log in to my site by FTP, but cannot find the installation folder.
Any suggestions?

How should we know where you installed it? If you used any install helper via your host ask them or the provider of that installer.

Thanks for your help. I was able to fix it by changing the password to the right one in the zp-data. folder. DUH!!
