Mainfile.php Sentinnel Edits Don't Match Current File

New Member Joined: Feb 20, 2006 Posts: 6

I have looked around your forum, but I haven't found the answer I am looking for.

Here is my problem:

I have uploaded all the required files for NukeSentinel™ 2.4.2 71-79. I have also edited all the files except one: mainfile.php | The proposed edits do not match at all with the current file.

Current:
Edits:

Installed Nuke: 7.6 - Nuke Patched 3.1

Could somebody help with the code.

Thanks!

Apon,
If this is a new site....I would wipe it and go get the current version of RN. It is a complete site ready t go with all the goodies inplace.

If you don't want to do that for what ever reason....Go get RN and run a file compare on the mainfile out of RN and yours to see how Raven did it.

When I did my 7.2 site mine did not match either. What I did was look at the logic and figure out what they wer trying to do where it made sence for the changes to go.

Thanks Dave,

This site is about a year old with several modifications and a pretty sizeable database.

I wish it were new, I would have done just that!

I will download Raven Nuke and check it out. I wish I could just get the modified 7.6 code and drop it into the site.

Question: What's the next best alternative to NukeSentinel? ...If I can't figure it out, I will just remove it.

There is not an alternative that I am aware of. Do you have a file compare utitily?

Try this...
http://winmerge.org/

Open your Mainfile in the left hand window and RN mainfile in the right hand window. It will highlight the diff's. Should be pretty easy to pick out what you need to do.

If nothing else....Post them both for me and I will look at them. I do not have a raw 7.6 mainfile handy....

My guess is Raven or one of the other Folks around here will catch this thread and point you in the right direction.

Just add this line in mainfile.php after where the other ones appear

Code:




@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");

Evaders99: You are everywhere! - Do you mean all I need to do is just to add that one line to mainfile.php and forget about the edits?

Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 1:21 pm

Yes, no further edits are needed

Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 5:43 am

I carefully checked all edits, uploads and included the one line in mainfile.php

When I uploaded the EDITS: Calling the nuke portal in the browser results in a blank page! Nothing comes up at all, not even error messages!

I have re-loaded the backup copies and I am on the verge of giving up on NukeSentinel.....I have edited lots of php files before and none has ever given me headaches like this Sentinel thing.

In my download, there is no " includes/nukesentinel.php"

just

html/abuse
html/admin
html/blocks
html/images

I don't see includes anywhere!

Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 9:46 pm

Never mind, I have removed NukeSentinel from my site. I may still install it in the future if the installation process is better streamlined.

Don't get me wrong, I believe it's great software and so are some other that I downloaded from this site and installed in mine. For now I will pass.

Keep up the good work.

My appreciations.

i have the same issue:

I would like to resolve though Smile

have tried

[quote]Just add this line in mainfile.php after where the other ones appear
Code: ‹ Select ›

@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");

[quote]

here is my issue:

everything is going fine, i think, all table's created.

In mainfile7.6 it says the following...

which is great but in my mainfile.php i have

Code:

if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');





} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');





} else {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');





}











@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."db/db.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/sql_layer.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/ipban.php");





if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {





  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");





}











if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  if(empty($admin_file)) {





    die ("You must set a value for admin_file in config.php");





  } elseif (!empty($admin_file) && !file_exists($admin_file.".php")) {





    die ("The admin_file you defined in config.php does not exist");





  }





}

any ideas?

TIA

Maclain,

After this code here:

Code:




if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { 





  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); 





}

Add the line that Evaders99 mentions up above.

Also, you mention that you are using 7.6. You could also take the mainfile.php from the RavenNuke76 1.05 distribution (no NSN Groups) and use that if you have not made any other mods to mainfile.php.

ok now i have

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');





} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');





} else {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');





}











@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."db/db.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/sql_layer.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/ipban.php");





if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {





  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");





}





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");








if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  if(empty($admin_file)) {





    die ("You must set a value for admin_file in config.php");





  } elseif (!empty($admin_file) && !file_exists($admin_file.".php")) {





    die ("The admin_file you defined in config.php does not exist");





  }





}

and still get a blank page going to the sentinel module.

also get the following error on go to sentinel admin panel

Quote:

NukeSentinel(tm): Error Loading Functions

It appears that NukeSentinel(tm) has not been configured correctly. The most common cause is that you either have an error in the syntax that is including includes/nukesentinel.php from your mainfile.php, or you have not added the NukeSentinel(tm) code to your mainfile.php. Details for including this code are included in the download package in the Edits_For_Core_Files directory.

Maclain, I noticed in another thread that you finally got yours going. Congrats! I'm having the same problem you were and I was wondering exactly what you did to resolve the problem.

Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 6:50 am

When all else fails, follow directions. Rolling Eyes

I added this:

Code:




@include_once("../../includes/nukesentinel.php");

instead of this:

Code:




@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");

It came to life after that. Thanks to everybody who works hard to figure all this stuff out.

OK that sorted it.

Just incase anyone is searching this forum and has same issue, here is what i did to resolve:

Ok, I had this same problem, and i have now fixed it after MANY patch attempts.

So, here is the final main.php code that relates to sentinel, for all you that need it Smile

The main issue is altering this section

}

in actual fact you need to find code

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');





} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');





} else {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');





}











@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");

AFTER ADD

Code:




@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");

which results in the following

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');





} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');





} else {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');





}











@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."db/db.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/sql_layer.php");





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/ipban.php");





if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {





  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");





}

the rest is as says in the Edits_For_Core_files - mainfile7.6.php.

As I say, i had all the issues mentioned above, and strongly agree with the not making changes to released patches.

Hope this helps anyone else looking to install sentinel on patched 7.6

Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 3:41 pm

yup, helped me...first bit of code edit does not even exist in patched nuke7.6...I wonder why the authors have missed this?

I re-iterate...This code

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');





} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');





} else {





  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');





}











@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");

DOES NOT EXIST in the mainfile.php patched 3.2 for Nuke 7.6 either...HAHA! UGH!

Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 10:08 pm

It's in the package I downloaded when it was released..

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');


} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');


} else {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');


}





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");

Is there anyone out there getting to work on nuke 7.9?
