After Installing Reflar Polls Extension from Bazaar, got Virus Alert from Server

iRobin

Hi, I just installed Reflar Polls extension from Bazaar and got an email from the server saying the following,

'ClamAV detected virus = [{HEX}php.exe.globals.411.UNOFFICIAL]': /home/username/example.com/vendor/reflar/polls/scripts/PreCommit.php

now the site goes down, with the following error,

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Flarum\Http\Server' not found in /home/username/example.com/index.php:14 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/username/example.com/index.php on line 14

I am unable to uninstall any extension from the bazaar. now i am locked out of my website. i am accessing ssh now to uninstall reflar polls extensions. do i need to follow any other step to fix the second error?

iRobin were you successful at removing the polls extension via composer ? (composer remove reflar/polls). The uncaught class error is still present ?

Maybe the antivirus deleted some files in vendor, breaking the install. You could delete the vendor folder and run composer install in the Flarum folder to reinstall all dependencies. Before doing that make sure you have a file named composer.lock in your Flarum folder, this will ensure the exact same version of every dependency will be installed as before.

clarkwinkelmann Thank you so much. you saved my site. after removing reflar/polls via SSH the site immediately came back online. i see the reflar polls gone from the extensions area. but i am unable to uninstall any extension. do i need to perform the composer install again or i can fix this error by any other way?

Thank you so much for your time.

Robin.

Ralkage

With regards to ReFlar Polls, we may end up just removing any custom script files we created in our extensions over at ReFlar at this rate. But I can assure you that our scripts were created for extension development purposes as such for formatting and making sure our code match that of the PSR standards.

iRobin

Ralkage the extension was perfect. i really likes its Design and the way it blended with the Flarum. I still suspect my server environment and permissions that is causing the problem. as i said before, i am still not able to uninstall any extensions normally. i need to do it via composer.

iRobin you mean you can't install anything via Bazaar, or also via Composer on the command line ?

What happens when you try ? Is there an error message ?

iRobin

clarkwinkelmann i can install, but when i try to uninstall from extensions page, i see the following error at the left bottom corner of the screen "Oops! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again." any idea?

clarkwinkelmann

iRobin you should find the error message in the Flarum logs (<flarum>/storage/logs) or maybe in the Bazaar history tab (click the history icon at the top of the Bazaar page). Alternatively you could enable debug mode temporarily in config.php and try again to see what the error says.

matteocontrini True, it has been fixed for beta 9, but all "Uninstalling" does is roll back the migrations, making you lose all the data related to the extension (except some few exceptions).

iRobin Uninstalling from the admin dashboard is not a feature unless you are using flagrow/bazaar

iRobin assuming everything is working for you again, you are free to install polls again, I removed the file that was giving you the alert after seeing another report from a user.

iRobin

clarkwinkelmann sorry for the delay. i removed it and my site is back online now. thank you so much.

datitisev yes, i am using bazaar and still i am seeing error "Oops, something went wrong" when i try to uninstall or enable any extension. installation happens without any problem from the bazaar. but when i navigate to extensions page to enable it, i see an error. At present using Composer to install and uninstall any extension. enabling takes some time though. works after several errors.

Robin.

matteocontrini

If I remember correctly that feature is broken for everyone in beta8 and has been fixed in beta9

datitisev

matteocontrini What feature do you mean ?

matteocontrini

datitisev uninstalling an extension from the "Extensions" page (Flarum core)

iRobin

Kyrne Thank you very much for the update. i tried installing it today morning and got this error when i run migrate command in the terminal.

iRobin Yes, I had the same issue. You'll need to remove the "end_date" row from the table for the installation to complete properly. Do you have access to phpMyAdmin or something like that ?

iRobin This also might help ? https://discuss.flarum.org/d/9762-poll/136

iRobin

[deleted] Yes i have access to PHPMYADMIN and just found out i have some permission issue over there. unable to drop the three tables related to Poll extension. created support ticket so check that with my hosting provider.

[deleted]

iRobin Ok. If you do drop the tables rather than just the rows, you'll need to recreate them using the SQL from the post I enclosed. Let me know how you get on.

It's unusual to now have full access via phpMyAdmin yourself BTW....
