Hi everyone,

Just a question that may point to something being wrong… or it may be nothing!

I just loaded up the forums in Safari and, once the page had loaded, a file called 'forums.applenova.com' downloaded to my Mac.

It's 4.3KB in size and seems to contain some PHP code for the front page. As I said it may be nothing, it's just never happened before for me.

Any ideas guys?

J.

Ahhh! I was going to start a thread named: I got your search.php right here.
Then link to the file I have 200 copies of on my desktop.

But yea, what happened? Did Apple find the secret forum with all the good rumors?

^^ One more quality post from the desk of Ebby. ^^

Same thing happened for me on all browsers and friends using Interner Exploder on Windows.

Seems ok now though?

Seems like all the pages are working except the main page...

There's some interesting stuff in the PHP script though:

Code:

Yes. Very strange. I keep getting the php download for the main forums page as well, and a WTF page at http://www.applenova.com/.

Sure. Anything you got when the site was down.

I was out all afternoon and have no idea what happened (or that it happened at all).

No clue.

It was a server problem beyond our local scope.

*ahems*

It was my fault. I'm sorry, everyone.

I was reinstalling a clean version of Quicktime. When I opened my FF, and went to Applenova, I got a dialog to download a php file.

So I guess my installation mocked everything up.

I'm really sorry. How can I make it up?


Edit= In seriouisness, I'm still getting prompt to download php files if I hit the VTP or VNP link.

Clear your browser cache. Still an issue?

Anyone who is still getting PHP code (or any other weirdness) when you access a URL or link, first clear your cache and then if you still get the code, send a copy to my email address above.

I'm well aware of how search bots work. I don't intend to leave it up there forever.

Clearing the cache was all I had to do with Firefox. Got in with Safari to figure out what was going on. (don't use safari much at all)

I did not save any of the files that downloaded, or tried to.
