the checksum file? No I haven't yet. I'll go find the directions for that

Where do I download the FCKeditor? I'm having trouble finding it.

When I attempt to run the upgrade:

HELP?

I'm going back to upload the files again to see if some were dropped.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have been away... surgery and vacation. I'm going to try the upgrade this weekend I suppose.

Oops no the errors are all gone once he fixed things on the back end with the mod security whatsit.

nah he's actually become a friend and I've hosted with him for many many years. I get excellent support from him. In this instance I don't know that he cares to go into all the detail since he corrected the issue and has no obligation to be of assistance to other XOOPS users.

As far as knowing when it's giving the problems, from my end it wasn't affecting all existing articles. Some I could edit and others threw an error. When I tried to recreate the article by copy and pasting the text to a new article it would throw errors but I could create new articles with other content.

Host says:

Send them tohttp://www.modsecurity.org/, it's pointless me re-writing the whole thing.

We just use a default install.

I'm actually trying to plan my upgrade this time and make sure I'm all ready before hand but I have some questions.

I had a custom theme created for my site, will it still work with 2.4?

I've had an ongoing issue with tables in my articles. Where there is a table, there ends up being a HUGE gap between the table and the text above. Any chance this will be resolved?

FCKEditor upgrade-is this editor required or can I get by without it?

Some of my join dates are wrong. This goes back to when I transferred my users from Nuke to XOOPS. I know very little about databases and I clearly did something wrong so the accounts that were moved over all say Joined 12/31/1969. I can't figure out how to fix them. I even attempted to edit a couple of them directly in the database but it didn't work.


I went through all of my modules and attempted to confirm if they are compatible but for the most part the author site doesn't exist or its in a foreign language. Maybe someone can tell me if they know if any of these are compatible with 2.4

Protector 3.2 - GIJ=Checkmate Do I need this?

ThAdmin 1 - Andrica Nicolas no url Do I need this if I only have one theme and don't want people to change?

Ok here's the info:

"It's basically triggering mod_sec rules, meaning that we have to
manually whitelist some files and URL's because XOOPS and other
softwares use so many different ones. XOOPS is the only software which has needed it thus far."

I had issues with my articles module and my faq module kicking back these 500 errors on certain instances. I had to send the full text to my host so they could look it over and find the problem.

Follow up... yes way late I'm sorry.

The issue ended up being some security mod on my server back end. My web host had to go through the text and get the back end team to fix whatever was triggering the problem.

I can try to get more specific details if anyone feels its of interest.
