babyewok Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My WHMCS was hacked last night by some a little wotsit (trying very hard not to turn the air blue here!) and although I have made lots of changes to logins, etc to prevent it from happening again, I have been advised to upgrade to the latest version (I currently have 4.0.2). However rather than the standard upgrade, I have been advised to completely delete the old install and start again. I want to keep the databse untouched if I can, so would really be just deleting and reinstalling files - are there any databse differences between v. 4.0.2 and the latest version? Also if anyone has any advice on how best to upgrade/resolve this I'd really appreciate hearing from you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted October 10, 2011 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted October 10, 2011 You can delete the 4.0.2 files except configuration.php you must keep that. Then upload the 4.5.2 files including the /install directory, now when you visit the admin area for the first time your database will be upgraded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
