Hi, In case you didn't have this patch. Patch login.php as soon as possible (old bug). http://vhcs.puuhis.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=1 For the new bug this is a quick solution * to modify the php.ini and to disable shell and execute functions disable_functions = system,system_exec,passthru,shell,shell_exec,exec * to not permit LOAD INLINE from mysql. We can disable this feature with the following line to the my.cnf in the section [mysqld] local-infile=0
