Sentinel Install Question - Help

New Member Joined: Jul 10, 2006 Posts: 14

Hello All,

So first off, I am fairly new to doing most of this here and can use some guidance. I have PHPNuke 7.8 running and I was looking at how to make sure it is secured. I found out that I should patch it with a chatserv patch and then install NukeSentinel. So this is what I have done.

Install PHPNuke 7.8 (up and working)
Copied over the most recent chatserv patch files on top of my install. (had to update config.php again)

Did the edit per the Nuke Sentinel mainfile.php for 7.8, now this is where I get lost some. I used my text editor and did the search for the items that said find this and replace with this. Did that and when I went the site it said I had an error on line 159, now that area of the code is right in the middle of the stuff I copied over.

The line only has a ï¿½}ï¿½

Here is line 127 thru 159

Code:







if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


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


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


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


   if (file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


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


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


   @require_once("../../config.php");


   @require_once("../../db/db.php");


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


   if (file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


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


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


} else {


   @require_once("config.php");


   @require_once("db/db.php");


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


   if (file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


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


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


}


   /* FOLLOWING TWO LINES ARE DEPRECATED BUT ARE HERE FOR OLD MODULES COMPATIBILITY */


   /* PLEASE START USING THE NEW SQL ABSTRACTION LAYER. SEE MODULES DOC FOR DETAILS */


   require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");


   $dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);


}

Am I doing this right?
Thanks,

I think if you remove these lines you will get beyond this problem:

/* FOLLOWING TWO LINES ARE DEPRECATED BUT ARE HERE FOR OLD MODULES COMPATIBILITY */
/* PLEASE START USING THE NEW SQL ABSTRACTION LAYER. SEE MODULES DOC FOR DETAILS */
require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");
$dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);
}

Cool,

That gets me almost there!!!

Now some of the blocks have an error online 285

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/mysite/public_html/includes/sql_layer.php on line 285

Here is the code around that area...

Code:







function is_user($user) {


   global $prefix, $db, $user_prefix;


   if(!is_array($user)) {


      $user = base64_decode($user);


      $user = addslashes($user);


      $user = explode(":", $user);


      $uid = "$user[0]";


      $pwd = "$user[2]";


   } else {


      $uid = "$user[0]";


      $pwd = "$user[2]";


   }


   $uid = addslashes($uid);


   $uid = intval($uid);


   if ($uid != "" AND $pwd != "") {


      $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT user_password FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE user_id='$uid'");


      $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


      $pass = $row['user_password'];


      if($pass == $pwd && $pass != "") {


         return 1;


      }


   }


   return 0;


}

Line 285: $pwd = "$user[2]";

Thanks

I think you're looking at the wrong file. That error indicates there's an SQL query problem. What query though, it is hard to say. Looks like what Montego told you to remove stopped with old abstraction layer from working, thus the errors in sql_layer.php

Try moving this back up right after the include for the sql_layer in the last else statement. Maybe like this:

Code:




} else { 


   @require_once("config.php"); 


   @require_once("db/db.php"); 


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


   $dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname); 


   if (file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); } 


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


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); } 


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); } 


}

Evaders, I have never even looked at 7.8. If you know something that I am missing, please do not hesitate to jump in. I was thinking that the NS instructions were wanting that whole block replaced and felt that mojo hadn't done that completely. But, now I see you mean by possibly needing the additional line. I believe it should go in that else but am guessing that it would work right after the sql_layer.php include.

Cool -- I seem to be getting close (or so I think)

Well it seems that Sentinel has a replacement file for the block-Modules.php but it seems this problem maybe due to a problem with the headers.php -- now I did do the edit per the instructions (correctly?? I hope).

So where do I start with this error?

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/fabcym/public_html/header.php:32) in /home/fabcym/public_html/blocks/block-Modules.php on line 16

Thanks!

Redo the edit to the header.php file, and in the event that the problem remains, send it to me at darklord@darklords-lair.com

and Ill be happy to apply them for you.

Ok, So I tired to edit the headers.php file that came with 7.8 install and the patched version, I must be missing'n something. File is on it way to you DarkLord and Thanks!
