I know NOTHING about mysql so please bear with me.
I use something called livesite for my website app and it creates these things called forms when anyone can post on my site. I didn't know about he forms when I setup the site and now I have 75000 spam forms submitted. I still don't know how people (or robots more likely) are doing it, must be a back door somewhere.
Livesite only allows you to delete one form entry at a time which will obviously not work for me.
I know the back end is mysql but my ISP will not help because its not their problem.
Can someone please give me the absolute idiots guide to deleting a bunch of records in mysql. All the records look like this on the livesite management page:

My site has been compromised with ZmEu attacks. In the logs I find suspicious user agents named - ZmEu.
The site returns 500 internal server error. There are no related error logs in the apache error log.
There are several dummy files all over in my server. I removed all of them.
But still the site is down.
What is the main target for such attacks?(What files are modified and how do I get them back?)
Where should I look to fix the issues?
If anyone has undergone such situation please give your advise.
update: Its wordpress site which is not working. There are other apps in sub directories which are working fine.
Thanks in advance,
You restore from a backup in this situation.
It will be tough to sort through and reverse everything 100%. The hacker could have even changed the modification times on the files, so you'll never be able to tell what has been accessed or not, without combing through every line.
I have been working on a sharepoint search tool. I know very little about sharepoint so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a number of tables on a sharepoint site. One of the tables contains the "People" in the database. I have the ability to view this table as a linked table using access, but my coworkers do not have the permissions to do so. My way around it was to use a make table query insert a table into a shared folder and give them read only front end in access to search for the client and when they find them open up a hyperlink to the person on sharepoint. The search feature works great, but I have to manually update the local table (using make table) (which I am not able to do if someone is using the search).
As I see it there are two ways I might be able to solve this, but I am open to any ideas I am by no means an expert:
Is there a better way to search in sharepoint? - I am hoping to have something where they are able to enter in a first name last name dob etc and find the results that match the fields and allow a partial match (so if some fields aren't entered they are ignored). I have not found anything that was able to help me do this, but I do not know what it would be called so if you know what I should look into I would greatly appreciate it!
Is there a way to update the table in Access while someone is using it? Is there another way to accomplish this in access?
What direction do you think I should take? I am usually able to find the information I need online, but I have not had too much success with this.
Thank you!

This syntax will get you to your hidden user content type list on a SP 2010 site - and you can change the view on this to give you different fields. I haven't yet found a way for this to link to anything that gives me site/list/library access rights, but have found it EXTREMELY useful in place of anything approaching a third party central user administration tool. - You might be able to do something with this for what you're trying to do.
I have been working on a submission form for two of our employees' to enter tax data. It is an InfoPath 2010 form, which is connecting to an Access 2010 accdb. The purpose of the form is to pull related data from two source tables (one from the old dB that was used, and the other from APX which houses additional information) to prefill as many fields as possible. Everything works fine when running it from my computer, or directly off our server. The problem I am running into now, is that our two users have access to the files, can open them with InfoPath Filler, but upon opening, they get the "InfoPath cannot connect to the data source...". The funny thing is, is that last week, they were able to connect and submit data with no problem (then one day I came back from lunch and it no longer worked). How I had to originally set them up was to create a certificate, make the forms full trust, added both user ID's as being able to have read write access. When I run the form from my desktop it works without a hitch. I even tried remapping to a mdb to see if it was a version issue. The dB is stored on a shared domain, \testdomain\, for arguments sake. Then they access the form via the same directory. Just to note, SharePoint is not connected in any way. All the searches I have done have yielded no solutions. I am thinking it is a networking issue, and have a meeting with the network admin in a few hours. But, what I can't figure out, is how it worked before, and not now. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what could be causing this? Just to clarify, I can run the same xsn form they run, from the same server location, without having the issue they do. I truly appreciate anything anyone might be able to offer!
Ok, finally figured out what was causing the problem (totally feel dumb). Apparently the servers used randomly get backed up, and when they do, the permissions get overwritten. If anyone else runs into this, review the access permissions for the directory and all the files. Thanks Nathan for your advice!
So I am a bit new to MYSQL and I've been learning allot more about relational databases but I am a bit stumped with one subject in mind. I notice allot of sites have things like domain.tld/variable. I understand how this works by using /?variable=name but most users would never use that. So how does one go about letting users pull content based on the principal listed?
Actually, that has nothing to do with databases.
When the url is accessed, url rewriting is used to change the url behind the scenes. While the user enters domain.com/data, the php script (or anything else) at domain.com?variable=data is opened.
I am currently working at a large company on a school placement. The group I am working in supports a fairly complex Access DB which houses a myriad of data, and has 40+ forms. We have been running into a problem that no one (not even the vets) can figure out. I've been asked to search the internet for any info, but can't even find anyone that has even had a similar issue.
Here is the problem:
A bit ago (read: before I got here), the company did an upgrade from Access 03 to 07. Everything was fine. My first task when I arrived was to insert a snippet of code to record which user was making modifications to different DBs (because of the removal of the mdw). This went fine, and we threw the whole thing into production.
A few days later, we received our first phone call, "Help! I keep getting an error, and can't access the db!" The error was 'The VBA modules in this db appear to have been saved with errors, etc, etc'. We obviously had corruption issues. Funny thing is, when we went into the code for the forms, it was all gone, save for "Option compare DB" at the top of every form. So we had 40+ forms that all said that, and nothing else.
We promply re-upped a backup, no big deal.
Two days later, same thing. Re-up the backup.
This happend a few more times. Not just the same user on the same machine. However, didn't happen to me, or to my mentor.
Then we thought maybe the issue was the way we imported the forms with the new code, so we installed the backup, and copied the forms over one by one.
Next day, same issue.
By this point, we thought that it must be the five lines of code we had added (who knows why), so we just ran with the old backup, no changes.
It's been about two weeks now, no issues. Until this morning. One particular user had this happen four times yesterday (not to any one else).
Anyone ever heard of such a thing? What could possibly be the problem? I'm sure there are a wide variety of possibilities, and I am sure I haven't given enough info to narrow it down much, but I don't know what else to write (never worked with a large Access app before).
I'm obviously stumped, but so are all the clever vets I work with.
EDIT**
For clarity: All of the forms are perfectly fine in terms of their view. I can open them, and they look absolutely normal, just no back end code....
Each user should have their own front end, vanishing code is a corruption issue and you are losing all the advantages of a split database if the users do not each have their own front end. you can get additional protection from compiling the front-end into an accde or mde file.
The usual argument against each individual having their own copy is that it is difficult for developers to keep the various copies in synch, but there are several solutions for automatically rolling out updates to users, for example, this one by Tony Toews: http://autofeupdater.com/
