Boss Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nick I realised soon after my lst post that the command your suggesting I run to create checksums is a Telnet command. I can not do a telnet on my server. So I can not run this. Also I realised that when I posted here the first time I had missed a page of this discussion P2. So I did a complete new download from the WHMCS site a compared files to original download and a huge amount of files had changed. So just finished uploading the new files, only to find that still I have a lot changed files but now I have 401 instead of 399 as before. So I guess the checksum on the WHMCS server is also out of date. So it kind of makes this whole program of no use to me as I see it. Is there some way you can set this up so that it's a one click function to create a checksum file from the version of files I/we download at the time. Rather than relying on someone else to have either done the job (created the checksum file) or created the checksum file from the same version we/I have downloaded. As I'm sure this is not the first time Matt will slip in some changes to his first new version of a zip file. John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 The problem here is that if I updated the checksums file I published previously to the new one - it'll stop other people's copies working. I'll download a copy and generate you a checksums file for the latest silent version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Try using this checksums file: http://ecwhost.com/WHMCSchecksums/sums.3.6.0.md5.new Upload that file to your WHMCS root and rename it to 'sums.3.6.0.md5' - the module should start using that file instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberhost Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It would be nice if Matt would issue a checksums file with each "slipstream" update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nick Thanks, I tried your version and it brought the number of changed files down to 118 this time. I'm guessing that there has been another slipstream update since I did my download earlier this afternoon. As I also re-uploaded again a number of files from my latest download and it made no difference at all. It's looking like Matt or someone is wrecking this great program for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted February 20, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just to clarify, the only additions made to a zip file are those for bugs identified in the first 24-72 hours after a new release. I'm not going to force people to experience bugs just for those who downloaded it as soon as it was released. There are no changes made after that time without a version incrementation.

Matt I also thank you Matt. That helps so that we know what to expect and how to work around things. I will ask though, Matt. During those first 24 - 72 hours, if you update the download zip, and with each update you do in that time, do you also at the same time update the checksum file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 It would be nice if Matt would issue a checksums file with each "slipstream" update. It'd be nice if Matt updated the version number when he changed the download . I'll talk to him, see if I can persuade him to stick in a checksums file in with each archive.

If you send me the zip file you downloaded I can generate the checksums file for that specific archive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt doesn't have anything to do with the checksums - I generate and host the checksums file. I'll not generate a new checksums file until a couple of days after initial release from now on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neobug103 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well its been how many weeks since 3.6.0 checksum was released? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 According to the file modification time, I published sums.3.6.0.md5 on the 8th of February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neobug103 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ah, okay. I was just looking at your first post there and it only had 3.5 checksums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balebond Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just a post to say thanks for this mod. After installing the file from http://ecwhost.com/WHMCSchecksums/sums.3.6.0.md5.new It works like a charm on my v3.6.0 install and I look forward to a less painful upgrade to 3.6.1 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 When will 3.6.1 be released? It's been 2 weeks since 3.6.1 was released... The 3.6.1 checksums file is already up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neobug103 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I only see: http://ecwhost.com/WHMCSchecksums/sums.3.6.0.md5.new Does this work for 3.6.1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 The checksum file for your current version is loaded - it'll try to fetch it automatically, it doesn't need to be posted to this forum. People won't need the 3.6.1 file (which is available to the automatic system already) until the next version is released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAJI26 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Nick, where does the sums.3.6.1.md5 file gets created, and if I rename my admin folder can I change it in your script? ( under missing files it shows all the files that should be in the original admin folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 The checksums file isn't created by the module - it's published on my server. The module automatically downloads the appropriate checksums file for your version. If there is a sums file in your whmcs root then it'll use that over the published version. Regard the admin folder name change, I've made a change to the code so it'll automatically do this (if the custom admin path is saved in the configuration file. I'll release that later today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Checksum results show Total files changed: 311/961 ive re-uploaded files and compared files to the latest and still get the above, however i havent changed that many files. ive also tried uploading the checksum folder into the root, and for some reason that says 311 missing.....Strange im using the latest version of whmcs 3.6.1 whats the problem do you think..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baja Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Maybe your ftp client is not actually overwriting the files correctly. What are you using to do the upload? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Guys, planning a 3.6.1 upgrade from v3.6.0, so i thought i'd run this tool, an dgot some surprising results Pass 1 using a root copy of checksum file Changed Files (444) Missing Files (345) Unchanged Files (146) Total files changed: 444/935 Have done some customising and added a few files, but not this many. So thought i'd try the server version of the checksum file Pass 2 Changed Files (1) Missing Files (934) Unchanged Files (0) Total files changed: 1/935 upgrade.php When do i go from here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
