Hello,
I am trying to restore a cpmove file and I keep getting this error:
/scripts/restorepkg usage: /scripts/restorepkg [--skipresellerprivs] [--force] user
Security Note: It is recommended that you do not restore a package from an untrusted source.
If you choose to ignore this warning, you should use --skipresellerprivs to minimize the risk.
So, I'm thinking wtf! I have restored hundreds of them without this happening. I couldn't find any solution so my last grasp was to look at the script and try to see what is triggering this error.
When I looked at the script I was pretty shoced to see such bad coding.
if (grep(/force/i,@ARGV)) {
$force = 1;
}
if (grep(/skipres/i,@ARGV)) {
$skipres = 1;
}
Are you kidding? In the first if, it checks @ARGV for "force". What's wrong with this?
1) If the word "force" is in my cpanel username the script goes into force mode when I did not tell it to!
2) Should not be case insensitive!
3) It should be checking for "--force"
All of the above apply to the second if as well and what is up with checking only for the "skipres", when the switch is "--skipresellerprivs".
Now, let's look at this block where I found my problem:
if (!$user || $user eq '' || [email protected] || grep(/help/, @ARGV)) {
print "User: $user\nARGV @ARGV\n";
print qq{$0 usage: $0 [--skipresellerprivs] [--force] user\n};
print qq{\n};
print qq{Security Note: It is recommended that you do not restore a package from an untrusted source.\n};
print qq{If you choose to ignore this warning, you should use --skipresellerprivs to minimize the risk.\n};
exit(0);
}
Why on earth is it grepping for "help" and then dying? My username was "esshelpd" and I could not proceed because of this. I have modified my copy and now have no problems.
Here is what I did:
grep(/--force/,@ARGV)
grep(/--skipresellerprivs/,@ARGV)
grep(/--help/, @ARGV)
I'm surprised that I couldn't find this issue anywhere on the net. I mean any username with "help" is going to fail.
Regards,
Marty
