JOOMLA / MAMBO --> Urgent Updates Needed

[Mark]

I'm on Cyclone and in cPanel right now.

I'm in now, but I dont know what happened before. IE just refused to display a page and when I tried firefox with http://www.yoursite.com/cpanel it changed it to the charlotteweb address with port but still wouldnt display it.

I am nearly finished upgrading but I sent you an email just now with a quick question, then Im done

Ok, I've emailed everyone individually regarding their present installations.  (And now I need a nap!)

We've set the servers up to email me summaries each day of what installations exist and what versions they're running.  I'm hoping we'll have all of this behind us in a day or two.

I appreciate everyone's speed in addressing this.  It's never fun when emergency patches get released but these are pretty significant so I appreciate your prompt attention.  You all are the best!    

Cheers,
Jason

as a quick follow up, my third ftp program still didn't group change folders' CHMOD, I have to go in individually and change them.  Ugghh.

Yuck.  Sounds like you need a better ftp program! 

Just FYI that I did find a freebie ftp that allows for recursive chmod'ing on folders --- fire ftp (a plugin for Firefox).  Not the greatest UI out there (you will have to spend time getting used to it) but it functions.

Thanks for sharing.  That looks pretty neat. 

I always fear browser-based ftp usage but that one looks promising.

Meh, that one is OK, I don't like browser-based FTP because you have to leave the browser open. And one of the things I hate about FF is that anything you have open with it (including multiple windows) all close when you use the File > Exit (or Alt-F, X) which I always do. Many a ChatZilla disconnects resulted so I had to download XULRunner so that I could run ChatZilla stand alone. Now if that FTP plug-in worked with XULRunner, then that'd be cool too.
