-- Backup your entire database and files
-- Upload 1.3.7sr2 and overwrite your files
-- Use the install script but select upgrade instead of new install

Geeklog security issues (and 1.3.7sr2 update)

I unpacked the tar.gz file, and modified the config.php and lib-common.php files. I ran the admin/check.php script, obtaining:

>Results: 3 of 4 tests performed: 3 successful, 0 failed.
>Test passed
>Congratulations! Your Geeklog site is set up properly and ready to go.

Then I ran the install.php script and upgraded database from 1.3.5. But when I visit my geeklog site I get:

1054: Unknown column 'photo' in 'field list'

Any idea?

I imagined what happened and did a:

ALTER DATABASE users ADD photo varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL

in pypmyadmin, and now works. Thanks a lot.

(I'm still in doubt about WHY the automatic upgrade failed).

Anyway, thanks all.
