Has anyone had any problems with security with their Joomla set-up? I know that hackers loved Php-Nuke. Therefore I was wondering about Joomla whether it was easily hacked? And if it is what security precautions did you take?

it's not so much that hackers know what they are doing, it what he web designers are not doing. Due to people not chmodding their files properly all hackers (script kiddies), just have to create a simple inject script and test it out and see who is vulnerable. Then either deface the page or trash a whole website.

Pretty much just as long as you chmod the right settings I think it 755 and that should prevent most injections from happening.

  5. Joomla License Question
    (1)
    I have a small question of the joomla license. I know Joomla is release under the GNU/GPL license

    information is retained. I know that this is possible for non-commercial use, but what about
    commercial use ? The reason why I ask this is because I've been asked to create a website for a
    store (a bio-store to be exactly) where the owners can place announcements from time to time. Can I

    Handy PHP Is Taking Request For Free Mambots (1)
    While developing my website which is managed using Joomla! , I found that a great number of third
    party components come with everything except a SearchBot. I find it very frustrating that a
    developer would go to all of the trouble to make a decent component and not finish the job by
    writting a SearchBot for it. Funny thing is that a full component is much more complicated to write
    than a Mambot. None of the forum bridges or components came with a SearchBot. So one day I sat
    down and started studying the process of writing a SearchBot for Joomla! . It turns out tha....

    (1)
    New version of Joomla CMS is now available as of Sunday 15th January 2006 21:00 UTC for download.
    1.0.7 is essentially 1.0.6 repackaged to fix one major bug in 1.0.6 - therefore it should still be
    considered a Security Release. It contains nine (9) `Low Level` Security Fixes, and seventy (70)
    plus minor/non-critical bug fixes. Download link:

    mambo is a hosting that supports php and mysql. After the instalation the whole site can be managed
    from the backend for any person without any knowdlegde of html, design or programming. Last month
    the developers changed Mambo name to Joomla. You can find more information in their official
    website http://www.joomla.org/ If you are thinking to use a CMS for your websit....
