file_get_content is in php for quite a while now.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
I'm running PHP 4.2.2.
Could it be that I've got global variables turned on? I think I had to request our server admin to do that quite a while ago to allow some kind of open source image software to run.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
That's a very old version of php (and therefor it's not working).
Can you update php to a more recent version?

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Hi, -- agreed, 4.2.2 is not the latest. but as far as I know, Joomla requires 4.1.2.
Being old and therefore, "not working" ... ? This version of php works fine for installations of PHPBB, PHPLIST, and on and on. Not sure why it's "not working" for Joomla, if Joomla requires 4.1.2 ...?
I have a little bit of confusion regarding which versions of Joomla to download. They say 1.0.12 is the latest stable version, yet the download links lead only to downloads of "stable patch package" which suggests a "patch" that upgrades a "full versoin" prevoius install.
I'm not sure why communication is not simple and clear here. Is this version I've downloaded (1.05 meg ("Joomla_1.0.0_to_1.0.12-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz") a FULL VERSION or a PATCH? If it is an upgrade patch, where do I get the complete vesion?
Anyway on this page: http://help.joomla.org/content/view/108/62/ ... it says I only need PHP 4.1.2. So, still no explanation of fatal error on install ...??

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
I was only talking about the reason why Joomla Diagnostics won't work on your installation
The function file_get_contents only exists since php 4.3.0
If I was you, I still would update to a more recent version of php, a lot of security fixes have been done since the version you are running.
Joomla has a few libraries that it can call to make it work on older version as well. Will have a look at including those into Joomla diagnostics as well.

bugmenot wrote: this tool is a great idea! but it is quite useless in its current form for people who run localized version of joomla.
it would be nice to include instructions on how to generate the joomla_1.0.8.txt file from any joomla install package.
I'm not a Unix geek so there must be something more simple but this one works to build the file :
cd to your local Joomla folder and type the following line
Code: Select all
find . \! -type d -exec md5 {} \;| cut -f 2,4 -d ' '|cut -f 2 -d '(' |sed -e 's/) / /g' | tr " " "\t" |sed "s/^.\///g">fileliste.txt
find . \! -type d fileliste3.txt <--put result in filelist.txt
change filelist.txt to whatever you need (i.e. Joomla version as the naming scheme in joomla_1.0.8.txt)
Hope this helps.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
UPDATE: I got my answer. I had to refresh without using the cache. My bad! Thanks everyone!
------------------------ >>>>
Great tool!!!! I'm installing Joomla myself on godaddy (using the godaddy manual listed on the forum). I'm installing Joomla in a sub directory. I get a Error 404 page when it tries to call lovekungfu.com/newfu/installation/index.php even though the file is on the server.
Here's the error I'm getting from the diagnostics tool...
(located at http://www.lovekungfu.com/newfu/diagnostics.php)
Error Filename Type
SECURITY /home/content/d/1/c/d1cedbee4q/html/newfu/includes/Cache/Lite.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY /home/content/d/1/c/d1cedbee4q/html/newfu/includes/domit/xml_domit_rss_shared.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY /home/content/d/1/c/d1cedbee4q/html/newfu/includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
So the files are uploaded correctly right?
The "Read More" was blank. Any suggestions?!!!
You guys are great!

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Thanks for a great tool - saved my bacon!
Transfered my site to a new host and couldn't work out why the site was only half working until I ran this little beauty which showed me about 20 files that must have corrupted on the upload.
Thanks heaps
Simon

What is the resolution if you get an error message that says,

What is the resolution if you get an error message that says,

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Hi there,
Someone recommend me your tool http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,144949.0.html to troubleshoot a problem I had with Joomla. http://www.airlibre.eu is now back online, but I'm still getting a sh*t load of error messages (http://www.airlibre.eu/diagnostics.php ) with JoomlaDiags.
I suppose this is because I'm using the official French version of Joomla and therefore the hashes are not the same as for the English copy?

- Could you confirm this is the case (errors are due to french version)
- Is there a way I could adjust your tool for the french copy?

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
If you have a French version, where the Joomla administrator back-end is translated into French, the files are not original and do not correspond with the hash contol values in the .txt control file. You will need to have a control file with the hashes for your French copy, but I don't think that it exists....Fluidetom wrote:I suppose this is because I'm using the official French version of Joomla and therefore the hashes are not the same as for the English copy?

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
You can make your own hash file by using something like the following on a FRESH copy of Joomla! (FR) and then run the diagnostic against your production version.
This will give you an output of any of the differences between the released core and your production version at least, but the French language changes may still produce some "false positives"

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Hi Folks,
I ran the tool locally (JSAS) and got just 3 messages... the explaining was clear but what do I do with it?
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
If a file doesn't include it, Joomla Diagnostics will display a warning after checking a few conditions first (to remove most false positives).
Error Filename Type
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/Cache/Lite.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/domit/xml_domit_rss_shared.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
What and do I need to add or change something?
Regards and cheers!

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
i tried your diagnostics program and it was really simple to use and worked fine. my only problem is teh same thing a few people mentioned, it i sshowing up as all files have some sort of error or there is warnings, security and tons of missing files. i am at my wits end here. i am getting a bunch of ....... (can not use the words I want to say here) hacking into my server and using it for DDOS and IRC stuff. It has happened many times and I do not know what I am suppose to do about it. I have tried everything to secure my server and sites but still it keeps happening.
can you please tell me what I am doing wrong and why your diagnostics is showing all these errors and missing files. it even does this on a fresh joomla 1.0.12 install. please help. Also, how can I secure my server and joomla sites from these hackers using it to save bandwidth on their own sites?
Also websmurf you seem to have a ton of knowledge in this area, i would like to speak to you via email or phone if possible, maybe we could work something out in the way of you securing my server, if this is something you may be interested in. Email me at steve at mad.ca or phone 905-824-2202.
Thanks
please advise

Today I though of a cool little tool to find corrupted files on your server. I see a lot of threads on the forum currently that are caused by files that have been messed up during installation.
This little tool will compair the file hashes on your server with what it's supose to be. Download:
http://www.joomla-addons.org/option,com ... id,23.html
Instructions:
- upload both files
- go to yoursite.com/diagnostics.php
The script should list what's wrong with the files on your server.

Security concerns or bugs may also be reported within the Quality and Testing Work Group Forum, in the event that a major or serious security issue is found by developers or end-users, they may also reach the "Security Response Team" via the Developer Site, Reporting Security Issues.
In addition to the above information, you may also find the following tools of interest;
As you are already aware;
Joomla! Diagnostics by WebSmurf
This tool will compare your existing installation against a known good file list of Joomla! and highlight any missing, potentially corrupt or modified files, as well as providing some security related tests.

As for conrinuing to be exploited, potentially this is "from inside" maybe on a previous exploit something has been left on the server, which is normal cracking practice, which has not been cleaned, thus they are actually never completely irradicated from you server in the first place.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Hello Websmurf,
I installed your tool and it works fine but as newbie I have no back-up of my site and before I change anything I wonder if you could take a look at the result.
http://emuis.nl
Got lots of warnings and errors..... I had a problem with my tiny editor and thats why I installed JSE editor.
Reason I diagnostics with your tool is because (short topic) http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,168221.0.html
hope you'll find some time.

ps. can I install Joomla! locally and upload the missing and corrupted file's without disabling my site beyond revovery
I installed your tool and it works fine but as newbie I have no back-up of my site and before I change anything I wonder if you could take a look at the result.

Got lots of warnings and errors..... I had a problem with my tiny editor and thats why I installed JSE editor.
Reason I diagnostics with your tool is because (short topic) http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,168221.0.html
hope you'll find some time.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
what version of Joomla are you running? and which version of diagnostics are you using?
Are there certain functions disabled on your server? It seems to me there are just to many files highlighted to be good..

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics

Joomla out of the box has news in the top and main menu, do not delete news on you main menu!
that caused my problem...top news is linked to main news....
main news is the one you should link (latest and popular news) to.
But now I have the same on top menu as on the main menu!
Thats why I removed it in the first place (I had better unpublished it for undo option)
I say, better 2 then none.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
For the same error i had to spend hours and hours reinstalling , uploading hundreds of joomlys ( joomla files ) :Ppe7er wrote:You can ignore those...Muis wrote: Error Filename Type
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/Cache/Lite.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/domit/xml_domit_rss_shared.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
SECURITY W:/www/emuisnl/includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS.
What and do I need to add or change something?
(Technical background: The code in those files are included in so called "classes" and not directly executed.
Therefore the missing _VALID_MOS errors cannot do any harm in those files).
Please update the tool , it will save time of thousands of new B's like me. Thanks for the corns anyways,

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
Hi everyone,
Im going crazy with some problems in my site. Im wondering if anyone can help me out explaining how to upload and run the diagnostics tool.
My problems:
1. this message is appearing in pages like: FAQ, Articles, content pages in general. Warning: Missing argument 12 for showcontentlist() in /home/cwlmdaqq/public_html/portada/components/com_content/content.html.php on line 28
2. Everything is set to public but when trying to access a full article after reading the intro it asks me to sign in.
If anyone can help me out would be very very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Usefull tool: Joomla diagnostics
always name your site... put in a link etc. etc etc.
if site don't work leave also
version, server, what have you done before.. etc etc etc.
ps. I got most of the answers by reading... I'm always sure that my problems wasn't unique, somebody must have countered it before me.....
I am a newbie.... and every file you edit, diagnostic tool will let you know. It doesn't mean somethings wrong. See yourself http://emuis.nl/diagnostics.php
good luck
