SMF 1.1RC2-1 security patch installation instructions

« on: March 30, 2006, 09:47:00 AM »

If you are using Joomla-SMF 1.1.01(you should be!) here are some step by step procedure to install the SMF 1.1RC2-1 security patch.

1) Login to Joomla Administrator
2) Select Joomla-SMF->Configuration from the Components menu
3) Click [ unpatch ]
- This link is in front of the text "Patch SMF Source Files"
4) Access your SMF installation directly using your SMF Forum URL
- This is NOT your Joomla URL, i.e.
  - http://your.site.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=20
- Your SMF url would be something like one of the following:
  - http://your.site.com/smf/
  - http://you.site.com/forum/

5) Login to SMF
6) Access the SMF admin
7) Select Packages
Under "Latest Packages" you will see instructions about this security patch. Click the link this patch (click here to install)
9) SMF will then test the install and prompt you with a button labeled Install Now, click the button
- You should be taken to a page with the text: "The package was installed successfully." If you aren't, please report these problem to simple machines forums.
10) Login to Joomla Administrator
11) Select Joomla-SMF->Configuration from the Components menu
12) Click the link click to patch
- This link is in front of the text "Patch SMF Source Files"

That is it. I have reviewed and briefly tested the changes and all appears to be ok.

I try to install security patch (SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0 ), with Wolverine's manual,but after installation,registration via SMF Forum is inposible.
After filling registration form and trying to submit, I get:

Fatal error: sendmail(): Failed opening required '/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\home\users\GG06-45-03-23_3sdf6456sdf46s89e\mysite.com\public_html\forum\Sources\Subs-Post.php on line 511

I use SMF 1.1RC2 ; Joomla 1.0.8
