Hi CaNNon,

Do you mean Cracker Tracker? I don't believe phpBB Security writes to log files. If it is CT, the following files should be CHMOD'd accordingly.

666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_attempt_counter.txt
666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_blocklist.txt
666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_debug_mode.txt
666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_malformed_logins.txt
666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_spammer.txt
666 ctracker/logfiles/logfile_worms.txt

No my CT is fine Teelk, I just noticed that "phpbb security" has a log, but my forum shows like 12 tries blocked but when I click "exploit attempts" it just shows this.

" 1 0.0.0.xxx 01 Jan 1970 12:00 am 1 Unknown"

So I think i don't have the permissions set right for the file?
But thanks for the try <img>

You may be in part right Teelk. Maybe it's using the database and not a logging file?

If anyone else has this issue, the fix is to reinstall the php security mod.

Upload the installer and set the config names after you've set the 3 names you need to do the edit to set those values.

The rest will be done. clear all cashe's then reset the amounts for admin and mod in the security acp.

Thats it.
