Trouble with permissions on Linux/Unix servers

[genealogynetwork]

I fixed the all capitolization issues to lowercase and the issue still persists.  I also opened a support ticket from the freewebspace provider.  I received half a response so far.  This is what they indicated.  To the effect follows.... (and I admit, it is strange to me, too.)

"You have to delete the words and phrases "MADRID" "The" "bank of ireland" etc. from your site.  We have a script that disallows these items and will shut down any url that contains these items...."

(WHAT?, I said. " There is no such thing in my html whatsoever.  So again, I am lost as to what you are referencing.)

I do have a database attached to my site and the database has options to upload files.  The permissions were not set to keep out malicious users and someone planted, I suppose, the words above "MADRID" "the bank of ireland" and so forth into my database files without my knowledge. 

I deleted the suspect file and reimposed the proper permissions.  The webpage still cannot be viewed.

It was stated further by the freewebpage support provider that there was something in my database that needed to be deleted in my "bot page" - wherever that is on my SQL database, I don't know.  I am clueless as to how to operate this database.  I just need it for the forum.

I just created a phpbb3 forum and had set permissions and so forth this week. It hasn't even been used yet!  so, I'm waiting until tomarrow to see if the page is viewable after deleting the suspect file that was uploaded.  I couldn't even read the webpage as there were a bunch of symbols and so forth.  I assume this was the page that had the suspect wording...

Thanks for all of your help.

PS

The index file that was originally created was renamed.  The renamed html page is  viewable , contrary to what the webspace provider indicated to me today.

They said a script shuts down your site when these words appear inside your site url  "MADRID" "the bank of ireland" etc.  and the number 51 appears instead of your webpage.

Still stumped on this. 

  "MADRID" "the bank of ireland" etc. 

But one page is still viewable, which is scary as they said a script is being used by their servers to prevent viewing anything on the url because of  "illegal wording" maliciously uploaded/placed on my site.

Opened a second support ticket with this free webspace provider concerning the same above issue and opened another free account that did not utilize an SQL database in order to test the so called script.  The database was not the issue.  51 still appears on the page.

Still a 51 on the index page on both sites, but other pages that I have created/uploaded (ftp)can be viewed without .css.  All pages view correctly in the online html editor, but do not appear when called by http address.

Day 4 no further response from the provider.

It must be to do with lower and UPPER case spelling of the file name style.css.

When you see your list of file names in ftp view - how is the file name displayed?

Style.css
STYLE.CSS

It has to be all lowercase letters:

style.css

style.css has to be in the root (the first directory) directory with index.htm.

I thought that the css was the issue.  Today the pages are viewable (for the time being - I'm still holding my breath.)  This is what I had to change in order for their script to allow my page to become viewable:


I reported:
This was frighteningly strange to me as I did NOT see what Technical Support said was appearing in my index.

Technical Support Said:
This is a message from our content filter script that searches for forbidden words in the pages scripts or the database content of our clients sites. The number that you see is related to one of the counted words or phrases that you have to clean from your site or database in order to be able to view your page online again:

“Overdrafts”+”Business Services”+”Online Banking”+”Specialist Sectors”,”bank”+”of”+”ireland”+”Website”,”CAJA”+”MADRID“+”bank”

Customer service replied again saying that there were suspect words in my index html file. The suspect words appeared in the following context. I hope someone will find this helpful.  I've been at this for some time now trying to figure out the problem.



Genealogybank.com - The link is no longer correct as the word “bank” is NOT ALLOWED.

In Item link # 32. Genuki.org.uk - Large collection of genealogical information pages for England, Irelnd, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. - The word Ireland is intentionally mis-spelled because the word “Ireland” is NOT ALLOWED.

After removing these two words and mis-spelling them the suspect word “of” was skipped by their script. (thank goodness as it appeared nearly too many times to count.)

And now the debut of my website:

LOL


Thanks to everyone here for the kind advice and input.
