Hey All,

This is highly annoying could someone tell me why a clean install of ravens nuke would be giving me this error as detailed below:

Installed RN no problems

Set-up username and GOD admin with no errors.

Can sign in using username no problems

go to admin.php type in GOD admin details and click submit, white page follows with "Begone" in the top left corner... So what have I missed out because as far as I can tell it is nothing!

Please tell me i am wrong and help me find a solution I need to get this site up by 5PM today (GMT)!!!!

Many Thanks In Advance,

DoC

Sorry for double post,

OK I have resolved this myself, I had to use completly different logins for the admin and normal user account. I was able to put similar (not exact) logins in 2.10 has this been changed in 2.20?

No, nothing has changed for 2.2.0 with regards to normal vs. admin. Not sure what to tell you.

Hey Montego Smile

Yeah I must admit mate it was really odd, as I say i have never had this issue before. I'm just gonna put it down to the installer not liking the username/passwords given

Cheers though mate Wink

I think there is some really old legacy code in Nuke that puts out that "begone" message if it detects "funny" characters in your admin name. Why it lets you register with those characters in the first place is beyond me...

Yea I got the same, it's a character check in admin.php. Ended up changing it from

Code:

      if (isset($aid) && (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9@_.]',trim($aid)))) {


         die('Begone');

to

Code:

      if (isset($aid) && (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9@_-.]',trim($aid)))) {


         die('Begone');

so it wouldn't flip out over the dashes in my and other admin's names.
