If anyone has applied the hacks and updates for the security, I would sure appreciate being able to download a copy for a clean install.
I had hacker files all over the place.... wasn't sure what I could delete and what I couldn't. So I copied the root and the database. Figure I can reinstall, then upload the database. Pull out images/movies and the such from my root copy and be back in business. <img>
If not it'll be 4 or 5 sets of updates to get a current (secure) setup again.

This is going on a fairly heavily used site. Is using the BETA going to get me in trouble? LOL

test it using XAMPP or the safe backup tutorial. If it works then just roll it into your live forum after making more backups of course. <img>

I'm a Mac user on a Unix server.... and I have no live forum to roll it into. I had to wipe everything clean. Too many rogue hacker files to clear up.
I take it the beta HS meant isn't 1.41, but the phpBB upgrade to 1.4 IM, which is also a BETA.

If anyone is interested I applied security patches "rev 05" to the upgrade package. The only other modifications are:
1) it is packaged as a tar ball instead of zip.
2) All the script files have been converted to unix format (dos2unix - to get rid of the ugly CTRL-M's at the end of the lines in some files).
It is ready to use and located [url=ftp]HERE[/url].

Alright.... if my schedule is okay, I'll try this tonight! I still have to start with a new current version of phpBB correct?

I used the file I posted by the instructions. I ran the update scripts through my existing installation and when it came to step 5 (or 6?), I installed the new files from the tarball, copied the avatars, upload files, etc. into the new directory, ran the chmod's and copied in config.php. worked well, like sh*t through a goose. no previous phpBB installation necessary.

Installing now. I did have to install phpBB first though. I had nothing, no database, nothing.

Almost back up and running. Shoutbox was back, removed it again. Side to side scroll bars were back, fixed that again.
I lost my extra Qbar menu at the top - NOT fixed. I also need to edit my BBcode to remove the [you] feature. (Heavily abused on my site) also not fixed yet.
I really think that's it. I did have to clear a lot of cache files to get everything back up and running.

Sorry, forgot to disable BBcode in my post. LOL As you can see I'm not used to it working.
Where is that lil' buggar? I've looked at the .tpl and .jv - must be somewhere else?
Also, anyone have a clue on the Qbar? I take it, it's not part of the database?

Rebuilt the Qbar menu... Not sure how I got it up by the top menu before, but I kinda like it on the top left section.
Also found the [you] code to comment out again. Forgot it was in the includes/bbcode.php file.
Few more images to upload (forgot my vast number of smilies). Then I should be ready to open it back up. I hope.

Hot dang.... if any of you remember, I've fought an issue with Quoting a post that someone used " in and everyone tried about everything to help me. Nothing seemed to fix it. It would make this:
"hello" "hello"
instead of
"hello"
--------------------
IT WORKS!!!!! <img>

Spoke too soon. Quick Quotes isn't working now. Works here though.

Still haven't figured out the quick quotes.... and I've noticed when uploading an attachement to a thread, it inverts the jpg to look all funky. <img>

I don't have any extra templates installed. Just the default. :shrug:
