Downtime II - MH-Razen - 02-27-2013
Hi guys,
well you surely recognized that LFE was down (again), this time for two days. Simple answer: we got hacked and the webspace was used for several stuff which wasn't in the TOS of my hosting company. So the account was locked and I had to sign a security paper blablabla ...
Problem: Neither me or BluePhoenix got time to fix the major problem right now, so we had to make a choice - choice was to put a write protection on the complete website. This won't have any effect on the forums beside the attachements and avatars are locked - you won't be able to host here anymore, just on external hosts.
That's it for now, have fun here ^^
Bye
Razen
Good job, man

It looks as though several posts from after 22 February is deleted, is that a side-effect or something?
EDIT:
An HTTP 500 Internal Server Error is entirely unrelated, right?

Edit @ up's edit (
): yeah, not related. Ignoring it is best

I have looked at the code that deals with avatar-uploading. Basically, it goes like this:
- Upload to LFE
- Let a user specify an image-file to upload it
- Transfer and store the file on the server (if necessary, replace the old one with the new)
- Perform a few calculations (especially image size so that it'll be displayed correctly all over the place and auto-resize / throw an error in case the dimensions are larger than acceptable)
- Update the respective entry in the database
- Use an external host
- Follow the link specified
- Because of security-reasons, PHP cannot get image-data from a non-local place. Hence, download it and run the same calculations as in local mode
- Update database-entry and delete the downloaded copy from the local server
