Updating and Integrity Checker

[gwbonline]

I also update to PivotX 2.3.2 and the integrity check says the following:

You are running PivotX - 2.3.2.

Could not download file (md5sum_2-3-2.txt) with check sums from pivotx.net - either there is no file for your version or pivotx.net is down

The following problems were discovered:

pivotx/db/ignored_domains.txt.php is suspicious.
pivotx/db/blocked_ips.txt.php is suspicious.
pivotx/templates/contactengine.php is suspicious.

Do I have to wait for the file with check sums to be available again and do an other check?

And can I savely delete the first two mentioned php files (I know what the third file is)?

Just download http://pivotx.net/files/md5sums/md5sum_2-3-2.txt manually and upload it to your db folder. (Your server might be blocking the download.)

Yes, you can safely delete ignored_domains.txt.php - it's not used any more.

Yes, you can safely delete blocked_ips.txt.php, if you haven't blocked any IPs in PivotX. Alternatively, you can check that the file contains just IP addresses.

Guys, I've only just popped back to this post and I'm glad it raised such an in depth conversation. I took Harm10's advice to compare the unknown files with the latest release. As you suspected they were just from old releases apart from the error_log file that was generated by my host server.

From the discussion it looks like there might be a few ways to do this. I simply took a backup then overwrote folders apart from the root folder (.htaccess etc), the db, template, images and extensions folders, hence the stray files. I guess I could have created a new PivotX folder and copied those customised folders over that, which I think is what hansfn says. That would have been cleaner for me and left me with a local backup should it have failed.

I agree that upgrade packages and automation is too much for you to maintain, but some instructions would be a good idea. Even if they're the ones hansfn posted here added to Part 4 of the PivotX documentation.
