Discussion about: Upgrade immediately to Joomla! 1.0.11

[astridv]

If you have loads of sites to patch:
- change globals.php before uploading (so Emulation is off)

- note that the configuration.php has only ONe extra line $mosConfig_mbf_content='0';
Rather than filling out all the config details I added the one line to all config files.

- Overwrite the admin.mambots.php in the package with the changed one.

[mporcheron]

done from 1.0.10 to 1.0.11 overwriting files with Filezilla FTP client.
at first time polls and some menus in the backend didn't work well.
at second overwriting it works well but:
- JCE comp: if i chose JCE Configuration from the menu an alert says: Restricted Access and i can't access jce config (even if it's still working)
- JACPLUS: doesn't work so i've uninstalled it and now i'm re-installing it.

I know for sure that the JCE config is a mambot and subsequently requires the offical patch for the mambots section.  See edition at the end of this post: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... 55967.html.

Upload it to administrator/components/com_mambots

Thanks astridv - your post saved me a lot of time!

Upgraded to 1.0.11 with no problems
I uploaded the file through FTP manually

I noticed a new menu item ( Check Version ) Under ( System )


Nice work guys

[globule]

As previous updates, some small bugs sometime appear with the upgrade patch.
Upolading the full package solved them.

What I recommend to do :
- use the file manager from your hoster panel to create a copy of your site in a subdirectory (faster than FTP)
- correct the configuration file, and .htaccess if needed
- upload the upgrade
- test this copy (mysite.com/mycopy) as deep as you can : regiter a new user, submit a new article, create a new section etc...

If it works correctly, apply to the production site.
This prevents from bugs if you hacked something and forgot it!

$mosConfig_mbf_content='0';

What is that one for?
I indeed see it in the dist file.

Hi JM,

From what I can recall, this is for MambelFish, now known as Joom!Fish multilanguage extension...

[chris_t]

this is a real pain in the backside. i only finished upgrading to 1.0.10 last week, as i've made dozens of small hacks throughout. to now have to go through that all again is unfortunate to say the least.

can anyone tell me, briefly, how 1.0.10 and 1.0.11 differ? i've already secured register_globals, emulation, magic quotes, my .htaccess etc. why do i still need to upgrade?

[RobInk]

Hi chris_t,

Check the full changelog to see whats been changed/fixed: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/1841/78/
As you can see quite a lot of security fixes. My advice would be to upgrade, even if it means fixing/patching your files again.

Hi JM,

From what I can recall, this is for MambelFish, now known as Joom!Fish multilanguage extension...

hmmm.. Wondering... I see it in the dist indeed for ages (saw it in a 1.0.7 at least) but a new install does not populate it.

How is it I have a Joomfish driven site and this config is nowhere to be seen in the admin?
Maybe it is only an artefact of the old mambelfish times and beginning of Joomla. 

[RobInk]

Maybe it is only an artefact of the old mambelfish times and beginning of Joomla.

Think so too, also implemented several multilanguage sites, never seen it as an option in global config either.

[crash777]

While this is nice to know... it does not call out files that were modified. Is there a list that shows which files were modified?

If anyone else is using Fantastico:

I just did the upgrade by FTPing the files using FileZilla to my site. It upgraded fine.
For upgrade instructions go here:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,33226.0.html

Fantastico is sensitive and though I never doubted that an upgrade would work, I wonder if it will "break" the link to Fantastico rendering future upgrades in fantastico useless..

Wondering when we can expect an official upgrade through Fantastico or do they only wait for major releases?

Hi,

WARNING!
------------GLOBAL MOD EDIT: last minute small bug found in admin.mambots.php
While waiting for new package, find file below.

This is an official fix!

I used the latest 1.0.10 to 1.0.11 bz2 patch file from forge.joomla.org with md5sum:

6af7ded3b0cd8c9988e1ee4e8698142c  Joomla_1.0.10_to_1.0.11-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.bz2

This md5sum didn't match what was posted on the md5sums link on this site, but I think it's still ok since there was an "original" Joomla_1.0.10_to_1.0.11-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.bz2 file posted first which I believe matched the original md5sum on this site.

Either way, I grabbed the file you announced here and transferred it to my server.

I use JCE so will test and hope all is ok.

Thanks.

Michael.

1.0.11 addresses several vulnerability possibilities in Joomla and in PHP itself... the most notable of the PHP vulnerabilities is the Zend_Hash_Key_Del_Or_Index () but that could allow an attacker to potentially feed malicious data to any PHP script via the URL.  It also addresses a potential spamming issue that required a pretty extensive fix and some smaller SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities.  Some of those vulnerabilities we rank as critical as they can lead to compromise of the website while most of them are very low risk.  For a list of the files that have been changed since 1.0.10, just download one of the 1.0.10 -> 1.0.11 patch packages as that will only contain the files that have been modified but keep in mind there have been several files modified.

[chris_t]

i've upgraded again and am making my little hacks again.

EDIT: page title problems sorted - includes/joomla.php was the offending file.

linked titles no longer work in 1.0.11. i notice a discrepancy between the two most recent versions, in content.html.php (line 580):

new:

$row->link_on = sefRelToAbs( 'index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=' . $row->id . $row->Itemid_link );

old:

$link_on = sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=".$row->id."&Itemid=".$_Itemid);

the result: now, when linked titles are turned on, the url is my site url, rather than the full content url. help please?

I upgraded from 1.0.10 to 1.0.11 everything seemed fine. I set define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 ); in globals.php. But this morning I tried to edit a mambot setting and keep getting a 'restricted access' popup. Then it goes back to the list of mambots. The mambot I was trying to edit is now locked. This happens for ALL mambots.

JCE component seems to have the same problem. All other components and modules seem to be fine so far.

Help!

Bug with 1.0.11 : non more statistics of printed pages in the administrator back-end.
I regret them !

On my site, the hacker installed twice a Cshell and his own folders and programs with CRONs, with the help of pirating the component mambowiki.

I do not know how to set register_globals on OFF. Each time I try to use a .htaccess for that, the only result is to block all access. I am on 1and1.fr.

Can somebody explain me the right steps ? Thank you by advance !

So is there going to be a forthcoming 1.0.12 soon?  Or is 1.0.11 being re-packaged?

Thanks

from the link on the joomla front site announcement, it says ( SUNBIRD )  but when i followed that link,downloaded and applied the patch from 1.0.10 to 1.0.11 I get (SUNBOW ) on my admin. What does that mean? is it wrong release?


joomla front page announce: Joomla! 1.0.11 [ Sunbird ] is now available as of Monday 28th August 2006 24:00 UTC

admin footer after applying patch to site: Joomla! 1.0.11 Stable [ Sunbow ] 28 August 2006 20:00 UTC

also, when i look in the admin, it tells me:

Your version of Joomla! [ 1.0.11 Stable ] is
2 days old


how 2 days old??



if there is going to be a fixed release of 1.0.11 planned in the next few hours or days, i would VERY much like to know, since I and many others have multiple sites to patch...


tell us

[jtruelson]

Looks like Websmurf has Joomlaboard listed as one of those extensions fixed due to the RG_EMULATION flag. Check this post for the upgrade: < http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,86525.0.html >.

Thank you, Amy, thank you Websmurf  - that fixed it.

Thanks to all devs and testers for fixing the next layers of security holes. I would appreciate a clarification please on what this is meant to mean:

Is this a repack with already identified bugs/additional changes (a sort of 1.0.11a) or is it going to be 1.0.12?

please advise? We are not waiting to upgrade so many customers every two days or so 

cheers

I've got a problem upgrading from 1.0.7 to 1.0.11
Template is out of whack and the login gives me the following
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: josspoofvalue() in /homepages/mysite/modules/mod_login.php on line 91


I can get into control panel but when I go to modules>site modules
my-site/administrator/components/com_modules/admin.modules.php on line 28
It's also telling me that it is still at version 1.0.7
Am I missing something?
What to do

[joomlan]

Hi,

I upgraded it to 1.11 ,but I am getting this message now :Restricted access for both Admin & Front end  !! What did I do wrong ?

What are the steps to upgrade ? What did I miss ?


Thanks

It is good to know that security take precedence here.  I have 29 or so Joomla sites to patch. 
I've done two so far.  Problem with Joomlaboard (latest version) encountered.

Selecting an existing topic throws the following:

An invalid post id was requested.

\n

any thoughts on this?

I had that same problem when I updated to Joomla 1.0.10. And I am not the only one. Have not found the answer yet, not on these bords not Joomlaboard forum borads.

[nandoprieto]

I upgraded "immediately" from 1.0.10 to Joomla 1.0.11 and when I try to install any template, language, component, module or mambot this is what I have:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ftphostaccnt in /vhosts/ecc.univalle.edu.co/administrator/components/com_installer/admin.installer.html.php on line 160

I suspect this is caused because recently I uploaded the SafeMode patch for Joomla 1.0.10 which can be found at http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/l ... 4BD54DD761

If so, where can I fing the safe mode patch for Joomla 1.0.11?

If not, what did I do wrong?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

At zuze, about the issue with joomlaboard, check http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,86525.0.html
Register globals emulation = 0 is causing problems with several extensions. You will find a fix in that topic.
