cPanel 11 Stable Release Schedule

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

As some of you may or may not know, we here at HostedFX are eagerly awaiting the stable release of cPanel 11. The latest version of cPanel is going to bring a lot of great new features as well as better security and functionality.

All things being well, we should be looking at around early August for the stable upgrade to cPanel 11 :)

MySQL Issue

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Over the last 24 hours we have been testing the newest version of cPanel – cPanel 11. During this time we found a number of bugs, and security problems, not to mention the 505 errors displayed across the server. We have reported our findings to cPanel themselves, and await a response. Due to this we have delayed our upgrade until cPanel fixes all known bugs.

This time of testing has essentially only been carried out in order to improve your experience as a customer and we thank you for your patience during this time. You may view the new features that will be available when we do upgrade to a stable release of cPanel 11 here:

We have now downgraded back to cPanel 10, and all should be working as normal. We had an unfortunate MySQL error which has now been resolved.

Once again, thank you for your patience,
Gareth

[Warning] TopSites

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

In the past week there have been issues on several servers which point back to TopSites installations. TopSites is a popular site ranking script which you may be familiar with.

The problem we see is that many different IPs (most are hijacked PCs located in Turkey, used as bot networks) are hammering these TopSites directories, acting as mini DoS attacks against those servers. The last security advisory for TopSites was last year, but apparently it remains unpatched. This does not give us much faith in the developers - it could have been fixed a long time ago, then we would not be dealing with this problem now.

The bottomline is that we are forced to disable the affected directories as we find them. We do recommend replacing this script with a similar one. We are likely disabling TopSites in all Fantastico panels.
