Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Downgrading to Joomla 3.6.3 is strongly dis-recommended as Joomla 3.6.4 is a security release that solves a security issue with older J3.x versions.foxter wrote:I have updated my website from j3.6.3 to joomla 3.6.4.

So that means that it is browser setting related and not a Joomla issue

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before someone advertised to the world how to exploit Jooma sites that have not been updated with the latest security changes. I've just read how it's done. Unfortunately there are people who will use this kind of information and embark on attacks on vulnerable Joomla sites around the world. Whether or not this causes a similar wave of hacked sites as we witnessed a year ago (and because site owners are sometimes a little cavalier about keeping their sites up-to-date) remains to be seen.
This probably means that people face three choices:
1) Update their sites to J! 3.6.4 now—and potentially deal with any other, probably unrelated, problems as a matter of course (and we'll do our best to assist them here on this forum);
2) Quarantine their sites now: i.e. put them offline—deny hackers the opportunity to exploit those sites—while upgrading them one by one before putting them back online again; or
3) Take their chances and risk being attacked (but, remember, there were plenty of warnings about this).

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Hi, I just updated 2 unrelated sites (3.5 to 3.6.4) and in the end the instalation asks for user and password to complete the update - since it is the first time I encounter this - is this normal? or it means the sites been compromised?
Thx

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
I have updated our website to the latest Joomla! 3.6.4. Website is running as per normal.
But when I try to go to Extensions > Manage, to install/update extensions, I received a 403 error: Access to the Joomla! installer is disabled. Upon checking on the permissions, everything seems in order; folders with 755 permission and files with 644. Tmp and log path are correct. Would appreciate your help and advice. Thanks heaps!

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Does Joomla! have a mailing list that just announces new Joomla! releases? I'm just looking for something that sends me an email whenever you release a new version of Joomla! I don't want one that is littered with other discussions.
Does one exist?

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
In your Joomla! site, there is a plugin titled "System - Joomla! Update Notification" that can send emails to the appropriate super users when a new version of Joomla! is available. You can even customize the information sent.jsparek wrote:Does Joomla! have a mailing list that just announces new Joomla! releases? I'm just looking for something that sends me an email whenever you release a new version of Joomla! I don't want one that is littered with other discussions.
This plugin periodically checks for the availability of new Joomla! versions. When one is found it will send you an email, reminding you to update Joomla!. Pro Tip: You can customise the email message by overriding the language string keys PLG_SYSTEM_UPDATENOTIFICATION_EMAIL_SUBJECT and PLG_SYSTEM_UPDATENOTIFICATION_EMAIL_BODY.

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
HI everyone,just in case someone made a silly mistake like I did. I went thru gazillion of 403 error related forums and at the same time consulted with one of the server administrator. Finally, upon checking, the server administrator (who also has a superuser account for our joomla website) informed us that RS Firewall's configuration has disabled access to the Joomla installer.Farah Y wrote:I have updated our website to the latest Joomla! 3.6.4.

Upon checking on the permissions, everything seems in order; folders with 755 permission and files with 644. Tmp and log path are correct. Would appreciate your help and advice. Thanks heaps!
So we fix that and it's ok now. Thank you all!

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Automatic security updates would certainly be appreciated. I was victim of recent vulnerabilities 20161001 to 20161003. New admin accounts appeared in the users list before I managed to run the update. Could you tell me if I should be cautious and clean the whole Joomla installation and probably even the server (cf. Joomla Security Checklist) or would be enough to continue with the current setup? Of course I removed the new admin accounts, but it seems nothing has been changed in the installation or on the server.

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
yes, the vulnerability you point at was an issue with the user registration allowing for these kinds of 'administrator' registrations among others. You do not have to have any further fears. If you removed those users you should be fine. If you want to make sure all is ok subscribe to myjoomla.com and the first scan/audit is free. That will give you peace of mind for surelippa wrote: or would be enough to continue with the current setup?

Re: Discuss Joomla! 3.6.4
Although "can not enter" could mean anything, I am assuming that you mean "cannot edit". If you had read earlier posts in this topic you would have found the answer to your question. There is nothing, specifically, in the update from J! 3.6.3 to J! 3.6.4 that contributes to your problem. The issue came about when updating to J! 3.6.3 from an earlier version of Joomla. If you have not seen this problem before it is probably becausesebamasaguer wrote:After the last update I can not enter the module manager-> modules
a) you have not tried to edit a module in the backend since updating to J! 3.6.3; or
b) you were using an older version of J! 3.x before you updated to J! 3.6.4 today.
In any case, the issue is documented and the reasons and the solution can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=710&t=937052
