Hey,

I just ran the latest analyzer and it said this message

Version Reason For Vulnerability
2.0.3 The phpBB group at phpBB.com frequently update their forums software to eliminate known vulnerabilities and exploits. Analyzer has found that your forums port is not the newest release: 2.0.4. Please visit http://nukecops.com in order to obtain an upgrade package to 2.0.4. By not staying current in phpBB upgrades you leave your forums open to attack. The choice to upgrade, backup, or stay at current version is 100% completely yours, all we have done is alerted you to it.

I am running phpnuke version 6.7...i want to upgrade but do i have to upgrade to 2.0.4, then 2.0.5 and so on? or is there a pack that has them all. and where can i download them.

Thanks a lot for the help

You already have version 2.0.4, but the version is incorrect in the database which is odd as i thought that had been corrected in 6.7, must be wrong in the nuke.sql file i guess, update it through phpMyAdmin with:

UPDATE nuke_bbconfig SET config_value='.0.4' where config_name='version';

is there a way to do it like you told me how to update the stats page...b4 you gave me a code and told me to make a file and then go to it in my browser then delete it...is there a way to do that with this because i have mysql-front and it wont let me change that?

thanks a lot,

Code:

<?php

include("mainfile.php");

$db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_bbconfig SET config_value='.0.4' where config_name='version'");

echo "PHP-Nuke Update finished!<br><br>"
."You should now delete this upgrade file from your server.";

?>

So now what version is it upgraded to? I cannot get to the forums admin panel...i couldnt get there before the upgrade either so i am hoping that a new upgrade will fix it.

You should now upgrade to BBtoNuke 2.0.5 then to 2.0.6
