Getting "You can't access this file directly..."

When I try to access my index.php page, I get the message in the header. This started after I edited the style.css file in my theme and the index.php file in modules/Contents.

Any ideas on what I could have screwed up? All I did was create classes for displaying the contents of page_header, text, page_footer, and signature boxes and then modify the echo statements.

I reset all my file permissions, but that didn't do anything.

Make sure you are going through modules.php?name=Content and not directly through modules/Content/index.php

That makes sense. However, I'm getting the message on my root index page.

www.strengthandhonorlive.com/

I never changed anything on my root index page so I don't know what happened.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!

When I comment out the line this code in index.php:

Code:

if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) {
die ("Died in /index.php (1): You can't access this file directly...");
}

The page opens, but not to the correct page, but to the contents list. I also get these warnings at the top:

I am running 8.0.

You said you have made no direct edits to the index.php. You can try copying over a clean index.php from the installation source and try that. Also double check all your permissions. Maybe a permission on a file referenced by index.php got tweaked.

Thanks a lot!
