find an unknown URL

Looks like it is going to be a bitch to decode the files. I have Googled for hours and still have not found something to decrypt it. However, if there were a decrypter, Zend would prolly have a patch for it.

Looks like you will need to find another way. I will look some more.

What exactly do you mean by "all the php is encoded"? Do you mean encoded or encrypted? What algorithm was it encoded/encrypted with? If it's simply "encoded" it's a matter of decoding it. Encryption is another story.
Another possible interpretation might be compiled, given that Zend's PHP Accelerator is effectively a PHP compiler. Is that the case here? If so, a liberal application of "strings" on the appropriate CGI might prove fruitful.

I mean besides rebooting the server.......I've tried just restarting the sql service but no luck.

Any ideas?

Have you tried sending Apache a SIGHUP to force it to reload using its configuration files? In the process it will dump PHP and reinitialize everything.

Edit: After re-reading the thread, I have to ask, just WHAT are you trying to do Korp? Restart Postgres, or reload all web-dependant services??

Donkey - thanks bunches I have searched for days and the only answer to unencrypting/unencoding is good *****ing luck.

chsh - I'm trying to restart Postgres, because I made some changes to the config. The standard postgresql restart -stop - start shite doesn't work....neither does the service command for postgresql. I'd rather not sighup, I'm afraid I could do damage to the database going that route, ya know? What do you think?

Here's some more info I found out. It's using phpencoder and Turckmmcache to encrypt/encode the files. As far as I can see there is no way I can decode much of any of the files.

Hey, hey, here's an update. I finally found the little script that was used to restart Postgres. He hid it away in some random directory. Custom little jobby, of course.

Thanks muchly for everyone's help.

If anyone knows of any good ways to dissamble the code that'd be much appreciated, and teh final piece, but I'm not holding my breath.

Tragedy averted.

I will see what I can find. I thought it was Zend's encoder. If it is something else, then there might be better luck, but then again, maybe not. I know some people that crack ****, and maybe they might enjoy this. Do you mind sending a sample?
