IntegraMOD

I have been hacked and site wiped by hackers to the root directory.

My SQL database is totaly intact.

I"d like to reinstall from scratch if possible and re-link to the SQL database I have (over 250 users).

What is the BEST way to go about this.

Install phpBB 2.0.21 and upgrade that to IM?

or

Install IM and go the multiple upgrade of phpBB to bring it up to 2.0.21 status?

I'll be changing the "Powered By" text in the footers to image links to help cut the search by hackers down.

I'll also be implementing the security patchs ASAP.

Currently working on phpBB to 140 upgrade but it will be a little time before it goes public...

That would be great!

I'm waiting on My Host Provider to find out what happened to my root directory

I will be able to use my exhisting SQL database?

What's different between this and the BETA upgrade in the download section for 1.40?

OK

I have DLed the 140 beta and phpBB2.0.21

do it extract them both... make the security edit in the IM update.... copy the files to the pbpBB folder... upload it and install?

In that order?

Or


Do I make the edits in the 140 beta
upload and install the 2.0.21
upload and install the 140 (security edited)?

then I need to know how to point the forum at my exhisting SQL database.

I am by no means an expert on this but this is how I would do the re-install.

1. Create a folder and upload integramod 1.40 files.
2. Create a temp database for your new install.
3. Install integramod 1.40 as per normal install instructions connecting it to your temp database.
4. Download and apply all the updates 2.0.17 through to 2.0.21
5. Download security patch 103
6. Apply all the latest patches from this topic [url=http]HERE[/url]
7. Then once your forum is up and running with all the patches you can do either of the following.

Option 1, Delete all the tables from the temp database and and import your old database.

Options 2, Re-create your database and edit your config.php to reflect your old database values.

I think that will get your new forum up and running with your old database. Like I said above I am by no means an expert at this so if someone thinks that this is not correct please correct me.

Thanks

I have the new board up online w/ patches

I installed the phpBB 2.0.21 and the used ther IM 140 beta and atted the patches

I just need to point it at the old database.

Yes edit config.php and replace it with the old database values

Well I have the house rebuilt... just need to slap on the paint and wallpaper...... exterminate a few bugs and hold an open house.


Ok someone remind me why I prefer IM... again

a few problems....

the subice templates are screwed... need to know how to get them reinstalled

Avatars are not working now.... nothing in profile to even upload an avatar.... and the ones transferred over from the old system are Xed out image missing... but I see them physical in the folder.

other than that and tweaking the icons and menus a little it seems to be ok....
all the topics are there...videos play... images in the gallery...

all is good in the world......

Take a looksee and I'm open to suggestions.

I like the humor

DOH!

ok I missed the set for the Avatars... that's in the box...


Now about getting the SubIce styles right

should I uninstall and reinstall the styles?

If you have another style install... make that the default, then uninstall subice and reinstall it... might help but if the its the same... check the upload went ok (sometimes these file get a little corrupted) <img>

I have replaced the text links on my site in the overall footers with temporary image source links to help cut the search engine hackers

Mike... let me know when "formal" images are available....

Gang... you should rename the images something unrelated to IM a phpBB and put them in your site image folder.

Code: Select all

   <a href="http]</</a>    

This is how I did mine..... the specific site info edit to generic.

I have the versions and copyright incorperated in the images

My site background is light blue... but you get the idea

It's available to beta test guys... why not join them or we might be able to sort something out for 140 guys this weekend or before even... time allowing..

Mike

Mike that was a little vague...

what exactly is available to test?....

why not join what?

he was saying, why not join the beta team and that we have changed the copyright info from text links to images in the 141 beta. Im sure the footer images will be released soon for 140 users also.

I made a quick footer image... will this work?

Ah

I see Helter...

If I had time I would... but I have a plate full as it is

work, family, etc... I'm lucky to have time to keep my own site current and try to find time to fly once in a while.

And I'm no programmer anyway.... I'm in live television production... I just learn what I need to know on the fly...no programing training at all... but I know how to find what I need to know pretty handily

I'll keep an eye out for the foot patch


btw

If possible you should try to make the copyright images dynamic... set something in the install if possible so the installer can name them what they want...that way hackers will not have a fixed target to aim at.

also

thanks again for all your hard work on IM and getting the raid quashed so rapidly.

D

Its just the modified style footer containing the text images but you have already done your own. Helters version uses text images so it looks like text... I will post the update later (same up for 140/141)

Mike

the image links seem to be working.... almost no googles... just ones specific to ballooning.

RC4 is released and has the new footers.

Hi gang

I just took a look at my "Exploit Attempts"

found this

phpBB Security
IP Caught For Caught On Attempts
1 0.0.0.xxx Wed Dec 31, 1969 4:00 pm 1 Unknown
Goto page Page 1 of 0

looks screwy to me.

had this same thing in one of the old IM versions as well.
