Ok i downloaded php-nuke 7.7 from phpnuke.org.
All Modules that came with it work fine, all is well.
when i install other Modules all i get is "acsses denied" when i try to go to them.

I read something in the docs saying i have to edit some things.
im sure there must be something in more simple turms telling me what i need to do.

Also what is with all the patches on this site, can you explane what they do?

Yes Im a Newbe. somewhat
I remember a time when all you had to do is upload it to the Modules section and you where done! may have to run some SQL scripts but that was it.

Now seems as if you have to be a php freek just to get stuff to work.

Im sure i must be missing something..

I strongly recommend that you consider using RavenNuke - available here - instead of 7.7. With RavenNuke, much of what you might want - security patches, NukeSentinel, NSN Groups and more - has already been integrated. It also has a pretty straightforward installation. You won't need to be a PHP guru to make it work.

That said, having basic editing skills would be useful as you may need to make changes for other modules you might want to use.

fix many of the security problems in the PHP-Nuke available from phpnuke.org. However, versions 7.7 and higher have security holes that cannot be fixed by a patch and cannot be protected by NukeSentinel.

Hope that helps...

The module may use a different authorization check. You would want to use the newer standards, in the Patched files, phpNuke 7.9, and RavenNuke

See: File Access Checks (Access Denied)
It depends on whether this is a block, module, or admin script

Ok first off, Im not that good a codeing and i do understand some things from hacking invison power boards with code someone else wrote.

I may take a little more time and relley become a pain in the ass. Embarassed

I do know i will have to change the pages in the modules but what files?
All of them or just the index.php file, see thats the part that has me pulling my hair out. LOL

It would be changes to all of them. You would have to find any of the deprecated code and convert to the new one

so i would have to replace:

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

with this:

Code:

modules/*/*.php
if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);

in every place that i find one of these?

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
if (!stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "modules.php")) {

Well i have it installed and all seems to be working fine,
Had a little MySql trouble so it took some time, seems i exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 10000).

I called them up and chewed on some butt and got them to bump it up to 50000.

All is well so far.

will the Gallery Module work with this version?
If not be four warned, LOL i will be back.

Thanks you have been a big help
