Access denied in some admin modules

New Member Joined: May 09, 2007 Posts: 5

I have recently installed nukesentinel 2.5 onto my phpnuke 7.5 parched website. Uploaded all files, done all manual file edits, run the installer and all seemed to go ok. However, now when I am at the administration, some of the admin modules give me a blank screen with "Access Denied". For example, I get access to banners, blocks or forums, but I don't get access to messages, modules or NukeSentinel.

I tried to search the forums to find a fix without opening another topic, but I couldn't find a similar situation or a fix that could help me. I'd appreciate any info or suggestion.

i think you have a mixup somewhere with your patches.
just look into the sentinel install files and included readme.
it contains some info on how things should look iin your modules for 7.5..

Thanks for the suggestion hitwalker.

However, all modules look the same and I can't find anything more in the readme or install file of nukesentinel. For example, the exact same code is used (prior to the functions) in blocks.php and in modules.php, but I get access to blocks admin but not to modules admin!!!

If you have any other suggestions or specifics I will appreciate. I hate to have to roll everything back and install again...

what 7.5 patched version are you on?

How can I find this? I implemented the patch found in nukeresources.com about a year ago and I don't really remember it's version number...

That tells me its either 3.2 or 3.3 given the timeframe. If you don't have your originial download from NukeResources, I am not sure how you will be able to tell as Chat was not consistent in how he "marked" the version number within the files themselves.

I tried to find the version of my patches but I can't. The problem is still there and if you have any other suggestions or ideas please share them because I am stuck...

The problem is that the code used in the admin modules is the same, but one module works and the other gives me an Access Denied error. For example, in blocks.php the code is:

Code:

if (!eregi("admin.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }


global $prefix, $db;


$aid = substr("$aid", 0,25);


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT radminsuper FROM " . $prefix . "_authors WHERE aid='$aid'"));


if ($row['radminsuper'] == 1) {


...BLOCKS FUNCTIONS...


} else {


    echo "Access Denied";


}

The exact same code is used in modules.php. However, I can access bloscks admin, but not modules admin. I also checked the case and link files in the admin directory and they are also identical.

I am quite desperate because I had to install nukesentinel due to continuous hacking attempts and the placement of phishing code on my server. But now I can't access half of the admin modules. All suggestions are welcome.

Look, over the past month I have been hacked several times, had to change host, received e-mail from anti-phishing organizations and Banks about id-theft from my website and was on and off line all the time. I am sorry but I an not ready to share this kind of info with anyone.

If anyone has any suggestions, then please share...

Did you try recreating your God account? I'd empty my authors table and start over with a new God account.
