vBulletin 4.1.9 infected with malware

[mickreid]

I've a forum with 5,000,000+ posts now. I bought vbulletin5 and for a while I was testing a migration from vb4 (I talked about it here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...onnect/vbullet...

Thanks for the advice, trying the hack product now. I don't have VBSEO installed....

I can't seem to find anything using the above methods. I'm pretty sure it has to be in the database somewhere since none of the website files contain the error (and I wrote over all existing files with...

Hi,

My site has been blocked by Google for over 24 hours for malware. Google webmaster tools show javascript being randomly inserted into certain pages. I have downloaded and searched every...

[mickreid]

To be fair to them - they had to take this plunge on their own public board so they could see what the rest of us will face when we switch. Have patience - as long as the finished product is good I'm...

I was using Memcache on my last server, but when upgrading my new box had PHP 5.4 installed and I've struggled getting the memcache PHP classes configued so disabled it - I'll get there eventually....

[mickreid]

Thanks for the advice. I had a professional Linux expert configure my last server and I recently upgraded and haven't got him in to optimise yet (as throwing a lot of power at it has probably hid inefficiencies)...

Yes it's very slow. I've disabled Facebook as well (it was throwing errors anyway).

I'm on a dedicated box with Xeon 12 cores and 32gb of ram. My vb4 live site is here http://www.not606....

I've managed to get it sorted now.

Just to let everyone know how I got around the issue in case it happens to anyone else. After finishing Alpha 27 and when I was prompted to upgrade to version...

[mickreid]

Only from a few moderators who I've let in on the test. They seem quite positive so far about the test and general usability - the obvious questions about missing functionality has come also.

If anyone is interested I've got a test beta for my site with almost 4 million posts up here http://www.sportingspy.co.uk/vb5

A lot of functionality does not work yet - for instance when...

I got this going through SSH - doing it through the web interface worked fine. .25 -> .26 is not a big update so even if your board is massive the browser based upgrade works fine.

[mickreid]

Hopefully they just want to do it right this time. The CMS on VB4 was not fit for purpose.

As a programmer myself I prefer to get BETAs out early because there are a million different environmental...

[mickreid]

It's only upgraded to Alpha 27, I'm trying to upgrade to Beta 25 - the upgrade.php script automatically takes me from completing 5.0 Alpha 27 to trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.0 again. Presumably that 'upgrade...

[mickreid]

So, upgraded to 4.2 again and ran the update again and got the same result.

It seems to revert to try to update from 4.0.0 after finishing 5.0 Alpha 27.

Straight after this I...
