Wanting to import SQL DB


backup-uk

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I had an older version of WHMCS running and stupidly did not apply any security patches. Unfortunately my account was comprimised. I immediately removed the installation of WHMCS, installed a new later version as a "Knee jerk reaction"

 

I still have my old SQL Database there with all the client details etc, is there a way of importing this into the new database, or even pointing the new installation of WHMCS to look at the old database, I guess there will be different tables though.

 

Any help greatly appreciated, instead of manually trying to do this.

Install that security patch and you will be secure enough to continue with your previous version so you can at least get your support and clients back online.

Before you install it though go through templates_c and clear it out.. look for b0x.php red.php and whatever else they named their uploader scripts whmcs is not the big problem right now, your server could be compromised.

 

Look in your database admin table and make sure they didnt create a account, look through your ftp accounts etc.

 

and whatever other suggestions are in: http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?t=44066

 

 

If you had backups then you maybe could roll back enough to before the hack and patch it, clear any exploit.

I have already removed the previous installation. I know was too quick, was just worried about being compromised. I now have a new installed version with an empty database, and and old database for the previous version.

 

Is it possible to do anything with this?

As others have mentioned you should be OK with the previous installation but keep in mind that even after the patch is installed it's likely that the hacker created/uploaded a lot of dodge files you'll need to remove. Some of the common names I've seen are:

 

red.php

00.php

whmcs.php

indexx.php
