Phpbb Upgrade

[AmeriDan]

A friend of mine had his phpBB board (ver 2.0.6) hacked last night via an SQL injection and Modcp exploit.

 

After helping him get patched up I was wondering if at all possible to:

 

1) apply the patch file (here) for 2.0.8 (docs here) to my site which would require access to the command line.

 

2) And perhaps upgrade the PhPBB2 that you offer to ver. 2.0.10 for future users of your system.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Peace,

since we dont offer shell access the command line patch is a no go, there are patches avail that you can ftp up and simply run the upgrade script.

 

The version of phpbb that is included in cpanel is provided by cpanel.net not TCH. It is up to cpanel.net to upgrade the scripts provided.

I just didn't want to have to manually reinstall all my mods and themes, which will take hours again, when

 

you should run the following command: patch -cl -d [boards] -p1 < [phpBB-2.0.8_to_2.0.10.patch]  This should complete quickly, hopefully without any HUNK FAILED comments.

 

would have taken minutes in comparison and would have retained all the mods and themes.

 

Oh well I'm a :Nerd: so I'll probably enjoy doing it all again.

 

My bad for not checking for upgrades, I'm glad I only have 7 users so far....
