Security advisory for WordPress and other PHP sites

Web site owners using the WordPress system should upgrade to version 2.6.2 immediately. This important security release adds protection against a SQL Column Truncation hazard and other security issues.

The security risk affects all PHP applications, WordPress included. Particularly vulnerable are those websites allowing open registration. More details about this issue at http://wordpress.org/development/2008/09/wordpress-262/

If you have questions about this advisory please contact me right away. Use the contact form here.

Labor Day Holiday

The TAPACOM office will be closed Monday, September 1 for the Labor Day holiday. The network will still be monitored and emergencies will be handled appropriately. To report problems check the contact page.

Enjoy your holiday!

New Support Program Starts this Month

TAPACOM has instituted a new support program effective this month. The key change is that clients hosting their web sites under the TAPACOM Hoku and Big Kahuna plans are provided one hour of support each month. Support services include web site updates, structural changes, programming, etc.

Wiki Wiki hosted web sites are not included in this support program.

WordPress Boot Camp

I’ll be conducting a workshop on using WordPress to create and manage web site projects.

The WordPress Boot Camp will show you how new technology tools keep web site development projects within anyone’s means and abilities. And they will help to keep the management of existing web sites less labor intensive.

The workshop is hosted by the Hawaii Macintosh & Apple Users’ Society, Inc.

When: Saturday, July 12, 2008 at the Manoa Innovation Center (9:00 AM to 3:30 PM).

Seating is limited, so register early. The first 10 registrants will receive a free WordPress t-shirt (subject to size availability).

Emergency Maintenance Notice

One of the TAPACOM servers exhibited problems last night at about 7:00 PM and was taken offline. Service is currently being performed and the expected time for restoration of service to this machine is 11:00 AM today, Tuesday, May 13, 2008.

Affected services include: secure web store, mailing list services, web hosting and mail.

Thank you for understanding. If you have any questions about this please contact Eugene at 808-550-8554.

Update
All services restored at 10:00 AM this morning.

CGI switched off …

One of our client’s hosted web sites reported that their form was not working. Troubleshooting discovered that CGI and another server side tool was not configured. In the past it was. There was no indication why this configuration setting suddenly “switched off.” A check of all other sites hosted on the affected server showed no others with the same issue. Monitoring will continue to watch for this problem.

Please report any other similar issues immediately.
