Mysql 5.1 Insecure

[paladox2014]

Hi mysql 5.1 is insecure accurding to this http://blog.cpanel.com/no-server-left-behind-removal-of-mysql-blockers/ you should update heliohost MySQL server to 5.1 or 5.5. and php 5.2 to 5.3 or 5.4. and then upgrade the wiki software so that It is using a supported release.

 

Hi stevie mysql could be updated because if you look at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html it says the upgrader will attempt to repair any tables.

Johnny is already running 5.5. There are no immediate plans to update Stevie (any update would come alongside a cpanel update).

Hi but what about heliohost and helionet server being updated to php 5.3 or 5.4 ad MySQL 5.1 or 5.5. Since your website is running on a really old php and MySQL version.

The software we use for our website (Joomla with a custom theme) won't run on newer versions of PHP, and newer Joomla won't run our theme. It's also related to the lack of time for Krydos to do much on here. Cody doesn't have cPanel on it since it doesn't host user accounts and only runs the forum, wiki, and website (and I think some background stuff that's not related to any of the above), so updating it is not as important as servers that the general public can use. If anything gets an update, Stevie would likely get it before Cody does.

 

For now, we're more 'It ain't broke, don't fix it.'

Could the wiki be upgraded to 1.19. since it include security updates and your wiki is running an alpha version of 1.19. not stable version. 1.19 is last mediawiki version to support php 5.2.

 

and wiki upgrading doesent take too long since your already on 1.19 alpha.
