   Hi,

   definitely a good move.

   Here’s the link to the unified diff on trac.vtiger.com for those who like to patch the install using patch command instead of overwriting existing files:

   http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset?old_path=vtigercrm%2Fbranches%2F5.0.4&old=12052&new_path=vtigercrm%2Fbranches%2F5.0.4&new=12177

   Keep up the great work!

   @vtiger team:
   It may be nice if the vtiger version number is also updated. This will help administrators in identifying the latest version. If the core release and patch are separately maintained , then there is high chance for missing the security patches.

   @Carlo
   Thanks for posting the link to unified diff. The vtiger release maintainers always missed it.

   Hello, thank you very much for the contributions.

   My comment: After installing the patch is impossible to see the list of users of the module for configuration, I do not see anything, just the title of the module.

   You will have some experience with that, how can I resolve it?

   Regards.

   Hi Salvador M.

   We are unable to reproduce the issue reported by you, we need some more information to reproduce it, for that can you provide your server access on which vtigerCRM is installed.

   Hi J. Salvador Martínez,

   We are able to find the cause of your issue, its with your directory permission and no where related to the security patch.

   Please go through this link (http://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/Vtiger_CRM_5.0.4_-_Installation_Manual_for_Linux#Prerequisites_2) before installing the vtiger CRM for the directory permissions otherwise some things will not work in CRM properly.

   Greetings, Asha. I was wondering about the process for backing up the source directory. Sorry for my ignorance but I’m a MS guy not a LI(U)NIX guy (please don’t shoot me!) and this is unfamiliar territory.

   Thanks,

   Hi WineLover80538,

   When we say backup your source directory, we just mean that keep a copy of the source directory somewhere else. Just to make sure that if anything goes wrong, you can copy back your old source.

    What is the average response time for patches when security vulnerabilities are discovered?

    Hi,

    Is it recommendend to patch fresh installation before calling install.php, because it seems so from install script changes point of view?

    what is the proper patch command to use? i keep getting failed to execute errors when i try a dry run.

    my src dir = /var/www/html/salescrm

    so i dl and untar the zip to that dir. then i copy and paste the unified patch file into a new file (patch.txt) in that same src dir. then i run:

    patch –dry-run -verbose -p3

    patch –dry-run -verbose -p3 (used less than symbol here) patch.txt

    but each patch attempt says hunk 1 (or 1 & 2) failed. i tried unzipping into vtigercrm/branches/5.0.4/ dir i made in the src dir. same result. am i unzipping to the wrong dir? am i using the wrong command? am i running it from the wrong dir? all of the above?

    thanx for your help.

    Hi mowgli,

    All you need to do is unzip the patch into your vtiger CRM source directory. (i.e., /var/www/html/salescrm)

    Hi mowgli,

    It will not overwrite all the files in the directory, but will overwrite only those files which we have included in the patch. As long as you have not done any customization over the 5.0.4 source, you can go ahead and unzip the patch without any fear.

    Regards,
    Asha

    so if i did have customization, would the patch command be the way to integrate the patch w/o altering my own changes?

    either way i’d like to know what the proper patch command/method/procedure is just for my own knowledge.

    but asha thanx for telling me how it would work w/o using the patch cmd.

    so anyone? what am i doing wrong (desc above)?
