Site crash after 5.2.14 (missing class.phpmailer.php)

[criat]

Immediately after the update I got this error:

 

Warning: main(/home/crweb/public_html/includes/class.phpmailer.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/crweb/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 0

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/crweb/public_html/includes/class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/crweb/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 0

 

Then I created an file named class.phpmailer.php and added this content

 

Now the error is:

 

Warning: main(/home/crweb/public_html/includes/licensefunctions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/crweb/public_html/dbconnect.php on line 0

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/crweb/public_html/includes/licensefunctions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/crweb/public_html/dbconnect.php on line 0

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to WHMCS_TokenManager::init() must be an instance of WHMCS_Init, instance of WHMCSCore given, called in /home/crweb/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 0 and defined in /home/crweb/public_html/includes/classes/class.TokenManager.php on line 0

 

Luckly I have the backup, I'll just stick to 5.2.12 for a while.

I have a valid class.phpmailer.php in the includes folder (updated to 5.2.14). Apparently, you are missing files.

Rolled back to 5.2.12 and it's working fine.

 

What happened?

 

@SiteOx, I see. I don't have it at all. I'll donwload the full 5.2.14 version and get the missing files from there.

 

Is it a real security breach to use 5.2.12 for a while?

[SeanP]

Maybe there are issues with full version (files missing)? I would put in a ticket to WHMCS, and ask why the file isn't there.

 

I did an incremental update from 5.2.12 to 5.2.13, then to 5.2.14. It is very easy to just copy over the files in the incremental updates.

 

There were security issues found in 5.2.12. However, to my understanding, only one of them was publicly disclosed, and to exploit it you needed to be able to login to the admin area as an admin. The rest were found as part of the ongoing security audit. However, if they can be found in a security audit, they can eventually be found by hackers and made known, publicly. So, in my opinion, it always best to be on the latest version. Especially, since this is billing software and contains sensitive information about your clients, business, and finances. You don't want to wake up one morning to find your system has been hacked.

I just downloaded the full 5.2.14 version, and see the class.phpmailer.php in the includes folder. Maybe some files didn't make it over to your server when you uploaded them?
