    Hi,

    looking for someone to possibly shed some light on some strange goings on with Joomla on Blacknight

    Background
    * Friend developed a site hosted by blacknight - I got a backup from him (done through Akeeba)
    * While working 'locally' seems as if ftp details were still in the configuration.php file and DB got corrupted

    Current Issue
    * I also have a hosting with Blacknight so decided to set up a dummy site on my own hosting
    * Set-up my own DB
    * Used the backup I previously had and restored on my own hosting - everything fine
    * Now the funky part - the other site also is now back online
    * Seems as if both are sharing the same backend - is this possible ?
    * Now I can log into the backend through both domains
    * Surely this is a massive security issue
    * Can you advise what steps to take;
    - to ensure my site is isolated completely from the other site
    - have checked both configuration files and my one contains ftp details for my webspace
    - the other configuration has the other ftp details

    hope this is clear ???
