Title: phpBB admins/experts required
Post by: Horness on September 20, 2006, 14:36:02

I'm in the process of migrating a couple of forums over to a linux server with PHP and mySQL support.  The forums will then be running phpBB 2.0.21 (and probably Coppermine gallery)

Is there anyone here who could spare some time to check over the sites once done to make sure things are secure and done correctly?  I know phpBB can be quite vulnerable if not done right, and would like a "trusted" second opinion.  :wink:

Cheers
Horness

with PhpBB subscribe to the security mailing list and check the emails,  if you get told it's been updated, update it...  *especially* if you're unsure about what you're doing...

Thanks datalas.  :wink:

Being "Microsoft savvy" means I'm used to looking out for security updates.  :roll:   I've subscribed to the mailing list, and gone through all the updates mentioned on the support forum regarding security etc.
I'm quite happy with the linux side of things, but wanted to be sure that phpBB was not left with it's pants down.  :lol:

Install went smoothly, and 99% as planned.
