    • How to "freeze" tikis? i.e. keeping them online for archive/nostalgia

    Posted by eSeL posts: 40 Austria


    hi,

    we are using several tiki setups.
    the ones we use are up to date

    now we would like to "freeze" to older tiki setups
    - one is 1.9.7
    - one is still 1.8.5!

    i.e. archive their status quo
    i.e keep their contents available online

    but de-activate the wiki (and everything)
    that there is NO security breaches
    without having to constantly update them...

    we were wondering what would be the best way to achieve that
    and came up with no better idea then blocking EVERYTHING via a .htacccess file

    is there a better way to "secure" older tikis?
    maybe there´s something i could change in the config.php??

    i could also update them for the LAST TIME
    but i would not want to keep updating several tikis for the rest of my life (or my server´s life..)

    tx for any hints!

    but that would not prevent any security holes /breaches through other access-"holes" on the server through tiki, would it?
    - those tiny holes that get discovered in the course of time and fixed via the updates..?

    i am not an admin
    but i thought "older" software versions are the main security threat, aren´t they?
