FIX!! 7.4 Fresh install, cant make admin :roll:

Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 11:55 pm

Im trying to install this thing to test it and i cant even make an admin!
It just keeps looping, i try to make one it makes me loggin and take me back to make an admin.

Evil or Very Mad

Any idea why?
Im going to take chats patches off for the admin file, to get to the bottom of this.

EDIT: Seems FB may have somthing to do with this. You would have thought he would have tested it Rolling Eyes

EDIT:Read Down To My Bottom Post for the Fix

Yeah the God account failed for me too had to create it manually to get the ball rolling. I was using user_prefix and noticed that the admin.php isn't wired to that completely. Might work on standard prefix??

I think there are an extra value or a missing column take your pick.

This should work edit admin.php line 31 find this
$db->sql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_authors VALUES ('$name', '$the_adm', '$url', '$email', '$pwd', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1', '0')");

change it to this
$db->sql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_authors VALUES ('$name', '$the_adm', '$url', '$email', '$pwd', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1', '')");

Not 100% why that is the way it is either there is a column or a value missing someplace here but this seems ok. Otherwise check and see if chatservs posted anything over at nukefixes on this one.

Could it be bc of that new ip blocker, i didnt have a chance to look at the sql yet. I just import and hope it works usualy Very Happy

Its still looping Shocked

Yeah I bet your right there is likely a column for the ban feature missing from the admin first function.

Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 12:38 am

Change to this instead..
$db->sql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_authors VALUES ('$name', '$the_adm', '$url', '$email', '$pwd', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1', '')");

For some reason the sql dump is either wrong or FB dosent know what hes doing Bang Head

Theres less coloums (sp)

EDIT: BC he removed some of them modules Exclamation

Look whos smart now Very Happy

Hmn think I pasted from the same file twice there thanks Stephen we're on the same page at least.

Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 4:34 am

Ya i did notice that..

Just so chat knows i put a link in his forums back to this topic.

I can tell this is going to be one of them newbie problems, like in 6.9's sql dumb not having the comment's in before the --- lines. BC we all know that FB will never fix this and when chat fixes it newbies arent going to know to go there, they would think that the CMS is secure already.
But really someone needs to get FB to fix this, hes selling it for crying out loud. Bang Head

Don't you just love when new versions come out? I have no changelog for core 7.4 to Patched 7.4, at least not yet, i'm working on a list of 7.4 fixes, when done i'll write a changelog.

where's the humanity? A new verison of nuke and not even a week later, chatserv is already pacthing it??? What the heck is up with that?
Does FB even bother testing his package before releasing it to the masses? Oh forgive me, it's only released to the Club. Well, that just makes matters worse. I would be pretty ticked off if I paid for something only to find out it's buggy...geeze!

FB added Nuke Patched 2.4 to Nuke's core so he missed out on 2.5's changes which is why there's a patch for 7.4

mmm..ok..excuses, excuses...hehe

Not sure if the patch was supposed to fix this but I am still unable to add admins, when I do it redirects me to a blank page.

I am running the patched version of 7.4

The only code modifications mad ewere with sentinel and protector, both of which are running on the site.

Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 10:11 pm

The blank page usually means the authors db table has less or more fields than required, how many does yours have? I believe protector adds a field to it and modifies the authors admin file so you might want to check that as well. Its field i believe is called radminblocker.

Thankyou for your quick reply.
It was the radminblocker. Once I deleted that everything worked fine.
Thankyou again.

For me it works fine if you do like this:
1. Backup your your "old" database (in my case from v7.3) where you already have
an admin login.
2. Use that database instead of "nuke.sql" that came with the 7.4 package.
(Now you can login).
3.Run the upgrade(in my case upgrade73-74.php)
Voil'a now it works !!!
Offcourse if you have any mods you have to apply them again.
Ps. if there's a patch file avaliable that fixes this could someone be so kind and
e-mail it to me,or post a d/l link to it
Many thanks !

So you mean the 7.4 patched version that i d/l from here yesterday is patched
with 2.4 ?.
Today i went to Nukeresources.com and saw that there's an 2.5 patch avaliable for
v7.4
Should i use that one instead ?

If you downloaded a patched version on this site it most likely includes the latest patch.
