Renew config by file issue

[julos0877]

Hello Virtuemart people,

I found a strange thing with my websites with virtuemart.
The SQL table virtuemart_configs has been reset without any action from me.

I have 3 websites with virtuemart in my server and the 3 websites virtuemart config have been reseted.

Do you know if we can disable this possibility ? Do you know if it's possible that a robot can launch the process ?

Problem appeared with : Virtuemart 2.0.20b, 2.6.10 & 2.6.12 with Joomla 2.5.28.

Many thanks in advance

Did you click 'Renew config by file'?

Renew config by file
Deletes the stored configuration in the database and reset it with the values from the file /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg. Be aware that it does not take the values from the virtuemart_defaults.cfg-dist. This file contains the default configuration shipped with the core. So you can adjust the virtuemart.cfg to your needs and use it as a kind of backup.

If you didn't, I would take take a look into the _virtuemart_configs table and note the exact time it was modified and the user id in the modified_by column. Then check which user has this id. With the time stamp you can also check your access log and have a look what was going on at that time.

Hello jjk,

The reset has not been done by me or other people.
I checked my database backup and see below the difference between before and after the issue :
The modified on and by are equal to 0 after the reset.
