phpMyFAQ

Why does phpmyfaq use the most different datetime formats? Almost each table seems to use its own format. varchar(15), varchar(14), varchar(20), int(15), int(11) are found :shock: Why not use the datetime (or timestamp when appropriate)? Actually It would make it easier to access data in a structure...

nice to see our program at work!

THX - It worked as it should! but I believe if would have been much easier for both of us if the docs on how to upgrade told it all! Then at least you would not have been disturbed! :lol: If you want to go deeper into the last error, than I can tell that this FAQ is not hosted at some typical webhos...

go to www.webyog.com/faqnew and choose any other language but german and english! It returns: Warning: mb_language(): Unknown language "da" in /home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faqnew/index.php on line 132 and even more garbage in japanese etc ... So /faqnew IS 1.5.2, but that languag...

I just upgraded to 1.5.2

It seems that only german and english are known with 1.5.2!?

Any fix?

Basically I was in the proces of upgrading from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 when I discovered the vulnerability and the 1.5.2 release.

I think I'll take the latest nightly then!

Thanks again!

The nightly build from today already has patches

Does that mean that 1.5.2 has the same vulnerability as 1.5.1 ?

Let me propose for the future that phpmyfaq does NOT show version information. It is too easy to construct a robot that finds all vulnerable installations.

phpbb2 removed version information for the same reason.

It is sufficient that the admin panels shows it!

.. that when we installed first time we had to log on the server from commandline as ROOT using SSH and change credentials to get write-access for installer.php - so that is probably it this time too. A special privilege problem on this server. Typical *nix issue! Nice to be able to send work on to ...

CHMOD level is 755 and I log on with same credentials as when installing first time.

but .. Error: The file ../inc/data.php or the directory ../inc is not writeable. Please correct this! Error: The file ../inc/config.php is not writeable. Please correct this!

I also replaced the .htaccess from the old /faq to the new.
Did that before running the script.

Warning: main(/home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/inc/data.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/install/update.php on line 27 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/inc/data.php'...

Replace everything exept the /template directory ?
What about the database? Any changes to this?
Should the update.php file be executed (if there is any) ?
