It sounds like someone “nice hacked” you. They probably changed that specific file so it is displaying that warning.

Open configure.php in notepad and search for the text of the error message.

If it’s in there, someone probably added it because they were fucking around and found the security hole on your site. There might even be a comment in the code giving you more information.

Happened at a place I used to work at. We didn’t really have much for web or network admins, so our web security was pretty weak. One day we noticed a strange little symbol appear on the main page. Looked in the code and some nice hacker had explained we had some serious security issues and we should probably address them before someone did something more serious. :lol:
