Hello

I am following advice at http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/313323-how-to-secure-your-site/ to secure my new and first osC store and have just installed Site Monitor. At Step 6 of the installation:

1. I got from clicking on the first 3 buttons "Warning: fopen(sitemonitor_reference.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in catalog/admin/includes/functions/sitemonitor_functions.php on line 308
Failed to open file sitemonitor_reference.php". What must I do to resolve this?

2. I clicked on the fourth update button "Manually Check for Hacked Files" and got "Checked 103 directories containing a total of 635 files. Skipped 427 files. 2 suspected hacked files found.
Hacked Files Found
images/yahoo/index.php
includes/modules/payment/paypal_standard.php". What would be your interpretation of these results and what would you do to resolve the issue if any?

Thanks
eka

there should be no php files in your images dir, so you have been hacked

ideal solution is to ask host to wipe site & restore with know clean backup.

Otherwise check every single file on the site, be especially suspicious if there any files/dirs you cannot delete.

Looking at file dates can help in finding when hack occured first.
