As you will be aware we will shortly be introducing some security updates and changes to our server configuration, and these changes will affect osCommerce stores
We urge all users of this popular script to update their stores as soon as possible.
Fork Projects such as osCMax, CRE Loaded, and others including my own release LoadedAU (http://www.snowtech.com.au/) will all be affected.
If you have a store installed using Fantastico or cPanel's installers or if you have installed a standard release of the script yourself please read on for details on what is required. if you have a fork based version or are unsure what your running please check with the scripts developers or drop in a ticket to the helpdesk and we may be able to point you in the right direction.
The upgrade process may involve up to 3 steps depending on what version your currently running and what updates you have already applied.
