Zip search suddenly returning no results and admin console unavailable

[Nobletoad]

Tool has been working great since installation in November of 2010. Suddenly, no zip yields any results and attempts to log into the admin console gives an error stating that the "URL you have entered contains disallowed characters." The URL is simply a link in an email provided by support after installation so I am not understanding what it means by disallowed characters.

If all was working previously, then a PHP configuration change must have taken place on the server, perhaps by your hosting provider. If so this is probably a config setting so first check the file warpcore/admin/config/config.php.

Open the script file and look for the URI PROTOCOL section and manually set the $config['uri_protocol']
to one of the suggested flavors. I would recommend starting with QUERY_STRING by assigning that variable directly below the flow control statement like:

$config['uri_protocol']   = "AUTO";
if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'IIS') !== false)
{
   $config['uri_protocol']   = "QUERY_STRING";
}
$config['uri_protocol']   = "QUERY_STRING";

If QUERY_STRING doesn't work try sequentially one of the other 5.

both files... I don't understand

Just in the one file config.php (I corrected the statement previous post).

Does not seem to have any effect. Very frustrating. Client is chewing my @$$. When I try to login to the admin panel I get this error message in my browser:

"The URI you submitted has disallowed characters."

Does this shed any light on what is happening.

HELP!
