Title: Does CPG 1.6 contain newest security update (from 1.5.46)?
Post by: nl on April 08, 2017, 09:34:25 am

Hi there.
I have installed a 1.5.46 on a PHP 7 system, which currently is downgraded to an earlier release of PHP in order to run (.htaccess change).
I have to "upgrade" to PHP 7 soon, and would like to know if the mentioned CPG 1.6 (cpg_installer_stub.php) does contain the newest security release - or there is another way to install this release?
Looking forward to an answer for this :D - while I try installing a phpBB bridge. ;)
Thank you! :)

Yes, all security updates applied to 1.5.x line are also applied to the 1.6.x line.

You have several ways to install 1.6 over 1.5:
You can get the latest release (https://github.com/coppermine-gallery/cpg1.6.x/releases) and manually place the files in your install.
You can use the upgrader (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,78505.msg381584.html#msg381584) to do the work for you when you are logged in as admin to your gallery.
You can use the installer stub (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,79013.msg383037.html#msg383037) to perform a standalone install .. either new or over an existing install.

If you want to try a different method for user synchronization between phpBB3 and CPG, you could try this:

For use with CPG 1.6 you'll need the updated plugin attached here.

Thanks a lot for your help :-)
Though .. I've just tried it over again - deleting everything and set up from start.
Last time, I had trouble with https vs http .. At least I think it was the issue.

Now, in the new setup, the following happens:
I go to https://mysite.com/cpg
Here I click on Login, which returns me to https://mysite.com/phpBB3
Where I do the login, and I will be returned to https://mysite.com/cpg .. but still not logged in  ???

Any quick solutions before I start all over again?
