Title: SMF 1.0.9 and patch for 1.1 RC3 released
Post by: Compuart on October 29, 2006, 05:57:14 AM
Simple Machines is happy to release a new update to Simple Machines Forum 1.0 and 1.1. This release addresses a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the search function. Also a few smaller issues have been addressed.

Note that the fix for the SMF 1.0.x branch will be released as new version 1.0.9, while the fix for the 1.1 RC3 branch will merely be released as patched version, the version of the forum will remain 1.1 RC3 (therefore, most of the modifications should remain compatible).

If you currently have installed 1.0.8 or 1.1 RC3, you can do either of the following to upgrade:
* Use the package manager in your administration center - one click, and you're done.
* Download the update archive file from the download page, and upload all of the files from it.
* Download the modification file, attached to this message, and modify the files manually according to it.

and for the others who are still using 1.1 RC2?

Post by: Compuart on October 29, 2006, 09:29:56 AM
Since most modifications have been made compatible for 1.1 RC3 by now, those still running 1.1 RC2 are advised to upgrade to 1.1 RC3 or to apply the changes manually.

Thanks for the update.

When I tried to post this into the board I moderate, I got a fatal error on Post.php file. In case you might want to know.

Nice guys! I am going to update my RC3 now. Well I don't think you will be able to make any other patches for 1.0. :P There is no room in those decimals. :P  Also, shouldn't put the 1.0.8 into the archive now.

Lol. I have never seen version decimals used in such a way. Hopefully we won't need 1.0.10 though.

Indeed, the version of Recent.php should be changed by the patch. I've re-attached the patch to the first message and updated the patch in the package manager. Thanks for noticing!

there are still modifications not updated. and for a site heavy modded is not so easy
btw, I modified this patch to work to RC2-2 and it works just fine. tks anyway.

Yep, BUT all 3 RC2/RC3 patches I have noticed are the same fixes from the 1.0.x series.

yes, there are few boards where we cannot start new topics without errors, but the topics are inserted. I hope they are looking on it.
I think is related with develop version; it is sure is not related with this patch because, at least,  on the few forums I apllied the patch (2 RC3, and 1 RC2-2) I did not get this issue.
but the team will solved this, just give them some time

I'm struggling with learning this system, but upgrading from the version my web-host provided (1.07) to 1.08 was one-click simple.  And the same goes for the upgrade to 1.09!!

It's nice to know that I don't have to struggle with this aspect of the program!!

I am still on RC2 because I have so many mods and custom themes I was waiting till the final release so I do not have to do all the changes 2 times.
Is this a patch that Really needs to be done ?

Request clarification re: Recent.php

I need to apply the changes manually using the 'updated_files_SMF_1-1-rc3-1.zip' file.

File 'Recent.php' Software Version is labeled SMF 1.1 RC3 in the zip file.

My questions:

Is this the actually the SMF 1.1 RC3-1 file, and can I just edit the version number?

Is this the old SMF 1.1 RC3 file, and if so, will the new version be made available?

Thank you.

That depends on the degree of security you would like. The vulnerability that's being fixed by this patch is not very severe, but it's only the weakest link that counts when it comes to security.

As said in a previous post, you can apply the changes manually by opening the modification in a text editor.

That's just an archive containing the files that are being changed. If you would like to use the package, download smf_patch_1-0-9_1-1-rc3-1.tar.gz from the first post and upload it to the packages directory.

The version of this file is indeed not correct. You can safely change it to 1.1 RC3-1.

I just downloaded the updater-package manually from the website, the one for 1.0.9 and an error (old files) occurs, in the included upgrade.php the version has been set to 1.0.8...

I updated from the package manager.  Everything went smoothly, but then, we had an issue with one of our mods.  It mentioned the following:

Unknown column 'mem.pmAutoRespondAwayMsgActivate' in 'field list'
File: /home/arsport1/public_html/smf/Sources/Load.php
Line: 476

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum files are currently at version SMF 1.0.9, whereas your database is at version SMF 1.0.8. It is recommended that you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

So, I checked and noticed that all of the files were the ones updated by the package manager today.  However, since I ran it through the package manager, I did not run the upgrade.php separately.  So, I uploaded the upgrade.php to the site and ran it.  I got the same error message as above quote from dphreak with the exception that my forum shows it is at 1.0.9.  What can I do?  Or should I do anything?

Please make certain you uploaded the new versions of all the files included in the package.

Click here to try again.

I have tried upgrade files to upgrade SMF, but got the same messenge.

Oh, yes, I use the default theme without any modification, and use English as default language.

Any suggestion?

When you click on the Package tab in the Admin section of YOUR forum, it should show right up :)

Cheers,
J

I download update files to upgrade from SMF 1.0.8 to SMF 1.0.9, but got a messenge something like

QuoteThe upgrader found some old or outdated files.

Please make certain you uploaded the new versions of all the files included in the package.

Click here to try again.

I have tried upgrade files to upgrade SMF, but got the same messenge.

Oh, yes, I use the default theme without any modification, and use English as default language.

Any suggestion?

There was a version number in the previous packages from the download page that hadn't been updated.  To get the upgrade working you can either download the files again or replace the following in upgrade.php:

Code (upgrade.php) Select
define('SMF_VERSION', '1.0.8');

by:
Code (upgrade.php) Select
define('SMF_VERSION', '1.0.9');

I installed the update on RC3 and everything went good, but I'm wondering how to edit the forum version in the footer? I edited it index.php and just changed the version to SMF instead of SMF 1.1 RC3 but that didn't work. I also edited index.english.php and changed some code to this.

$real_version = $forum_version;
$forum_version = "SMF";
$forum_copyright = '<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/" title="Simple Machines Forum" target="_blank">Powered by ' . $forum_version . '</a> |
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/about/copyright.php" title="Free Forum Software" target="_blank">SMF &copy; 2001-2005, Lewis Media</a>';
$forum_version =  $real_version;

This method worked before but now it doesn't.

I also tried this method, in index.php after loadUserSettings(); I added

if (!$user_info['is_admin']))
  $GLOBALS['forum_version'] = 'SMF';

and this method doesn't work either.

Quote from: Compuart on October 29, 2006, 05:57:14 AMwhile the fix for the 1.1 RC3 branch will merely be released as patched version, the version of the forum will remain 1.1 RC3 (therefore, most of the modifications should remain compatible).

So I guess the version number won't change :-)

Unfortunately, Ive ran into problems using the package manager to update my 1.0.8 to 1.0.9
Ive tried two different zips now and both result in the error
" The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted. "

I also downloaded these zips several times, no change....plus tried the gzip versions as well.

I have had no problems using the Package manager since changing my hosting to avoid the "safe mode" issues.  And as I remember, the 1.0.8 upgrade, had a single link for me to click within my admin CP to initiate the upgrade via the Package Manager...which was not the case this time.  I had to download the update to my local machine and attempt the upload via PM.

Im most likely just not "seeing the forest because of the trees" here, but before I do a manual install....I would appreciate any suggestions to get the PM to work! 

One thing I noticed in the 1.0.9 update files though.....
I unzipped the files (and no, I didnt try to upload the uncompressed files..lol) but noticed that it did NOT contain a file called "package-info.xml" .....so.....could this be the reason for my unsuccessful attempts at install via the PM?

THANKS!!!!!!

Oh and btw...love the halloween theme!!!! :)

Ive not tried that one today....but did the gzip file that was on the downloads thread...sometime last night.  Same result.

What Ive tried most recently is the " updated_files_SMF_1-0-9.zip "

so NOW HOWEVER....I guess I need to insert my "DOH!!..homer" smiley here...lol...because I just did the upgrade successfully using the PATCH gzip file!!!!!

Since most modifications have been made compatible for 1.1 RC3 by now, those still running 1.1 RC2 are advised to upgrade to 1.1 RC3 or to apply the changes manually.

there are still modifications not updated. and for a site heavy modded is not so easy
btw, I modified this patch to work to RC2-2 and it works just fine. tks anyway.

PLEASE!! Post that patch!

I too have a heavily-modded RC2 board and CANNOT take the time to convert everything over to RC3. In fact, there are STILL mods I am using which are NOT migrated to RC3.

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but I recently upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8 via the package manager with no pain.  Now, with the move from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 it keeps asking me for my ftp info while that has not changed.  it reports success on all files, but keeps asking me for the ftp info.  I guess this is not the fault of SMF, but it would be handy to know where to start...

Thanks :)

OK, i managed to do the update on a remote dedicated Debian Etch server by un-tar'ing the file in the right directory then running upgrade.php, which ran thru just fine.  however, when i go into the admin section of the forums and check the detailed versions, there are still several files in red that lists "1.1 RC3" as the installed version while "1.1 RC3-1" as the current version.  i am not sure what else to do to upgrade those files. 

the ones still needing to be updated are:
ManageBoards.php
PersonalMessage.php
Recent.php
Register.php
Search.php

am i up to date and those just report inaccurately? 

thanks.

I used smf_1-0-9_update.tar.bz2 to update my forums, and the version number in upgrade.php is 1.0.8.

Now I have updated all my forums successfully.

I'm only a new SMF admin, been using it maybe 6 weeks now.

In Package Manager I follow the link in:
QuoteA security issue has been identified in SMF 1.0.8. You can install this patch (click here to install) to easily update yourself to the latest version.

and get:
QuoteThe package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

I DEFINITELY installed 1.0.8 using "smf_1-0-8_install.tar.gz" (it's still in my download folder) but when I check the Mod List i have:
QuoteMod Name     Version
1.    MySQL 5.0.12 Compatibility Update    1.0    [ Uninstall ]
2.    SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update    1.0    [ Uninstall ]
Does this mean I'm 'half running' 1.0.7. I didn't install it, How is this possible? What gives and what do I have to do to upgrade? Why can't I uninstall the 1.0.7 patch?

Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.
I recently upgraded my forum to RC3 and perhaps some permission accidentally changed.

From what I know. Package Manager Updates Only changes the file versions on the files it edits.. Thats why you got the problem..
You have to edit the file manually and change it..
You can do that to all your files so they all say 1.0.9 if you need to..

Whoa how easy was that!  :D
Package manager - there's an update, click here to install, test successful, install, done.

Contrast that with "another package"

Email - there's a patch. Bang head on desk, "OH NO! Not again"
Go to site, download zip, hold breath, unzip. How many files this time?
Only 43, Oh good, It'll only take me 3 hours.
Run file compares, mark up changes, apply changes.
Go back to site as one lot of code that needs to be changed doesn't seem to be there.
Post on board. Remove post as there suddenly seem to be many other identical posts.
Wait for reply.

you know, something weird happened, once I updated to 1.09   now, when I try to posy something as link - it adds a whole bunch of extra stuff (like a copy of a link within the url brackets)  and it refuses to change the color of the link text.  never happened with older version, so what gives?  i don't know if anything else is going to act up, since posting the link is the only option I've tried since update, but I wanted to let you know..

I'm running 1.1 RC3.  I applied the patch through the admin panel.  I'm also running a wrapped forum inside joomla 1.0.11.

Now when I post to a wrapped address like http://www.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=6&topic=406.0 the address trunctuates and sends my members to http://www.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&amp;Itemid=6&amp;top

So, how do I go about fixing this problem?  You cannot link at all...even using url tags won't make this work.

Do I need to start this thread in the joomla sub forum?  Or is this a problem for everyone?  You can see exactly what I mean in the second reply to this thread: http://www.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=6&topic=405.msg3289#msg3289

Hi,

So I downloaded updated_files_SMF_1-1-rc3-1.zip and uploaded the files. All is working OK, but it still says 1.1RC3 in the bottom, not 1.1RC3-1.

And the reminder on the package tab is still there. Should I do smth to remove that or just leave it :)

Cheers!

Nobody reply on the above.

I did the update manually by replacing the 6 files but when i go to Admin-->Packages, i saw this
QuoteA security issue has been identified in SMF 1.1 RC3. You can install this patch (click here to install) to easily update yourself to the latest version.

If you have any problems applying it, you can use the version posted on the downloads page - although, any modifications you have installed will need to be uninstalled. Please post on the forum if you need more help
.
basically the same thing as what manji has mentioned earlier.

Please let us know what should we do to get rid of the reminder.

Hi.

I updated to 1.09 very easily.  I'm still too new at this to risk a release candidate, and here is a good example of why:

I used package manager to upload a "Users in the last 24 hours" mod.

Works Great!

The only reason I have not posted that in the bit where the mod came from is that now I can't update ANY more mods at all!

I tried the member color mod, and some tests, but nothing works.

They are all giving the legendary "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF." message.

I think I need to manually change a 1.08 to 1.09 somewhere, but am totally lost as to where!

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Peace

Currently using 1.0.8.  Everytime I try to upload the patch, regardless of if I do so manually or via the package manager, I get the following error:

QuoteAn Error Has Occurred!

Here is what I have for line 1307:

Is there something I need to change in that string of code in order for the patch to work??

Migraine, to solve your problem, CHMOD your forum's Sources directory to 0777. This can be done via your FTP client, or via cPanel's File Manager (if you have cPanel access).

Consult with the theme author to make it 1.0.9 compatible. Also, you are hiding the copyright text on http://klrworld.com/forums with black, the text must be clearly visible on all pages, please alter your style sheet accordingly.

I'm not hiding anything- the black bottom is part of the Ig-Oh theme, not intentional by any means on my part.

I wish I knew how to change that file, but I'm very new at this. Maybe the theme author has a fix-

Any advice on changing the color would be appreciated-

I'll contact the Ig-Oh author asking for an update as well.

Sorry for the ultimate newb question, but......
I just recently took over our site.  The forum is currently SMF1.0.7.  The mods listed are :
1 - SMF 1.0.6 Update
2 - SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update (marked as installed)

When I go to the Package Manager, there is a statement at the top saying that a security issue has been found with 1.0.7.  When I click the this patch update link, it says that it is going to install 1.0.8.
How exactly do I go about upgrading to the most recent version?  This will be my first attempt at this so any detailed assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated!  What all needs to be done before I upgrade?  I really don't want to cause any down time on our site.

Nope. You can have your 1.0.7 to 1.0.9 in minutes. :)

Also you could do a manual upgrade if you want. But package is easier.

- Extract its contents into any folder on your computer
- Upload the files for 1.1 RC3 over your files for 1.1 RC2
- Run upgrade.php in your browser
- When it says that the upgrade is complete, delete upgrade.php

Hi.

Me again...

I never resolved my previous question, but I think this will shed more light on it!

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum files are currently at version SMF 1.0.9, whereas your database is at version SMF 1.0.7. It is recommended that you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

Ummm...


I don't have a copy of upgrade.php, and can't find it!

There's nothing at .../smf/upgrade.php  and I downloaded the 1.09 package again, thinking I could pull out that one file and upload it, but could not find it included there!

I tried searching around, but could not find where to get a copy of the correct file.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be Very Grateful!

Thanks.

Peace.

Actually, scrub that.  The temp directory created was chmod to 755 and the server wasn't letting me chmod it to 777.  I deleted it again, created a new one and chmod that to 777 which allowed the upgrade :)

Two questions, please:

Do the SMF 1.1 RC3 files on the Downloads page already come updated with this patch?

I would like to try a test forum from this release before updating my live forums, if I use the Install version for a new forum, will it be a hassle setting it up to use my host's database service?  Would it be easier for me to instead use Fantastico in c-panel to set up their offered version of SMF and then use the Upgrade version on top of it?

The 1.1 RC3 files on the download page have not been patched. The reason for that is to make sure all mods written for 1.1 RC3 keep working properly. Only stable branches (1.0.x series) get a new version number which can be downloaded from the download page.

QuoteI would like to try a test forum from this release before updating my live forums, if I use the Install version for a new forum, will it be a hassle setting it up to use my host's database service?  Would it be easier for me to instead use Fantastico in c-panel to set up their offered version of SMF and then use the Upgrade version on top of it?
You could go both ways, but I think installing 1.1 RC3 from scratch is easier. The only difference is probably that without Fantastico, you'd need to create a database and a database user yourself (using cPanel that should be relatively easy).

Now I am planning to set up my forum with SMF 1.1 rc3. If I download it from your download area, do I still need to apply this patch for 1.1 rc3 attached in the first post ?

I noticed that files in the patch is newer than files in the install package. Why didn't you updated the package in the download area ?

Thank you !

The patch has not been included in the RC3 package to ensure that mods will work for it. You will need to apply this patch after your installation, the simplest way is through the package manager.

Upgrading without loosing my customizations (manually?)

I have the SMF forum installed as version 1.0.4, according to the admin page. Under the Admin page > Detailed Version Check , a handful of source files are showing as being from older versions because they are highlighted in red and a newer version is listed to the right of them.

I'm worried about losing the customizing and formatting of my current site if i do an upgrade.

Can I just download the 1.0.9 zip file and upload (and overwrite) only the source files that appear to be old versions according to my admin panel? Will this "manually upgrade" my site?

Or is there more to it than that?

You should then apply it manually or upload the updated files.

I'm using SMF 1.0.9. and don't know which upgrade have to install to get the latest SMF version running.

You are running the latest version of 1.0. So there's no upgrade needed just yet.

(Unless you wanna go to 1.1 ;))

Hi,

I recently moved to a VPS host. First I had some problems regarding PHP5, so I switched back to PHP4. The only thing not working right now is the package manager. If I try to upload or even update RC3 with this fix, it gives errors.

The instant link to the RC3 fix gives me the following message:

You are not allowed to administrate this forum.
Please login below or register an account with Quasar - Intron Theory Forums.


Does anyone have an idea what the cause of this could be?


thanks,

Thomas


EDIT: ok, so far it seems to be an URL recognition problem. If I put the download link between brackets in the address bar, the forum says the package is corrupt or incompatible. I also have eAccelerator installed. Would that be a problem?

OK, I tried upgrading from 1.08 to 1.09 and get this error message:

"You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory is not writable!"

Now, I tried using my FTP program to change the permission to 777, but everytime I check to see if it stuck, it shows only 775. No matter how many times I try and change it, it goes back to that. I then logged into my cpanel which shows that the permission is set at 777... Yet I still cannot get this to upgrade.

Edit: I closed my FTP, logged in again and it indeed shows the permissions set to 777. Still can't upgrade...

In a previous post someone mentioned something about a temp file within the Packages directory, I don't seem to have that directory in mine. I've upgraded before (I think it was from 1.06 to 1.08 or something) with little or no problem.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

OK I'm surre I'm running the RC3, so why this ?

An Error Has Occurred!
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

TheMovieman:

Awfully strange, but if the software can't write to the Packages directory, then something is still going on. Try creating a directory called "temp" inside the packages directory with permissions of 777 and try again.

stuartbrandon:

Try downloading the update package onto your computer, then uploading it that way with the package manager.

Nope, still get the error. I closed my ftp program, opened it back up (just in case) and the Packages folder has the 777 permissions, and so does the temp folder I created... I didn't have this issue the last time.

However, I just thought. I had a critical error a couple months ago when I tried upgrading via fantastico and I had to open a ticket with my hosting company to get the backup online. Could that be why? I'd rather not use Fantastico again, so hopefully this will be figured out.
