Can't Stop the Hacking

[twonky]

HostRocket has been a very stable host for me, the few problems I've had have been taken care of quickly.

This latest hacking thing just ticks me off. What's the purpose? My site had probably...

I apologize that you take strong exception to it, but when I have you guys telling me the host is responsible and the host telling me something in the application is responsible and I have no way of knowing...

Apparently I've made it on some list at this site.

They aren't doing anything destructive to the database. All I do is upload a saved template and everything is back to normal.

But how are they getting in? Does anyone have a clue?...

Does anyone have any clue how to troubleshoot this stuff?

My point is, it's not continuing. It's only the forum home page that still has the problem. Every other page is fine....

My forum was recently hacked and the team here helped me make some progress.

I'm stuck on one last thing though. The main home page for the forum is the last thing that's not working, every...

The only way I think I can explain this is by pointing you to my forum and the page I'm trying to make work.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm getting started right now.

I am moving my vBulletin install from one physical server to another. I want to install it on the new server first, then export from the old and import to the new. Then remove it from the old server....

What template do I modify to insert code in a thread only after the first post?

[twonky]

I'm sure that what you're saying makes complete sense to you but I'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying I need to do.

If you could spell it out for me in just a few steps...

[twonky]

Ok, I think I understand then.

Are you saying I should install v2.2.5 on the NewServer and import the data from my OldServer and then perform the upgrades?...

[twonky]

I'm not sure I follow.

Here is the current setup.

OldServer: v2.2.3 with no XML support for PHP so it won't run v3.0.1

NewServer: Nothing installed yet

I am running v2.2.3 right now on a server that is ill equipped to upgrade. I tried installing a clean copy on the server but it's having problems with XML. I'm pretty sure that it's not setup to be able...

[twonky]

I'll be glad to install any of those things if necessary. Do you have a link you can give me on how to do it with those applications?

[twonky]

I'm having the problem with the blank install.php page. I think it's due to my PHP not being compiled with XML.

I have root access to my box. Can someone point me to instructions on recompiling...

[twonky]

Once I get the database upgraded, can I then export the data from the old server and import it to the new version 3.0.3 server or will I need to install the same version on the new server, import the...

[twonky]

I am currently running version 2.2.4 on my server. I would like to move that database to another server and upgrade to 3.0.3.

Whats the easiest way to accomplish that?

Would you mind sharing how you added those fields?...
