While moving several Joomla web sites of various versions to a new hosting service, I noticed on the new hosting service that Joomla! 1.0.12 Stable while logged in as Admin had this message:
"Following PHP Server Settings are not optimal for Security and it is recommended to change them: PHP magic_quotes_gpc setting is `OFF` instead of `ON` Please check the Official Joomla! Server Security post for more information." Not remembering if it should be ON or OFF or if it matters these days, I downloaded the latest version of Joomla and installed it to do the pre-check installation. It didn't complain about PHP magic_quotes_gpc being OFF. So my big question for this wet Saturday afternoon is, should this be OFF for all modern installations of Joomla, or it isn't a security issue anymore? Yes, I plan to upgrade all the Joomla web sites to the latest. I presume the best way to do this is follow the chain of patches?
