End of life for PHP 4.x announced
July 19, 2007
On the 13th of July 2007 the PHP development team announced the end of life for PHP version 4.x.
What does end of life for PHP 4.x mean?
- Support for PHP 4.x will end 2007-12-31
- Critical security patches will be released util 2008-08-08
What is Doreo doing to support PHP 4?
We have been working on the PHP 4 vs. PHP 5 problem (behind the scenes) for several months. The biggest problem that we face is that not all PHP programs will run on PHP 5. Almost all programs can be modified to run on PHP 5 but we are doing our best to not break any existing client sites. The solution that we have come up with allows us to run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 on any Doreo cPanel account. At this time we don’t have any details on the solution but we are hoping to have more details and an implementation plan available in late July or very early August.
cPanel exploit discovered
September 24, 2006
On Saturday Sept. 23rd a root level exploit was discovered on the cPanel control panel that Doreo uses. Shortly after the discovery of the exploit a patch was issue by cPanel. The patch has been applied to all Doreo cPanel servers. We have audited all Doreo servers and at this time we do not believe that we were affected by the exploit. We will continue to monitor this situation.
