number of questions

1) How do I make a god account, as I dont believe my admin account is one. In the Edit Admins page, it doesnt state it is, (Or have the * next to it). Another reason I think this is because in Nuke Sentinal, I can not access the Protected Admins List, Admin HTTPAuth List, or the Scan for New Admins.

2) Ever since I added Nuke Sentinal, I havent been able to add new admins. I can add them in, but when someone trys to log in as the admin, the Begone! page comes up.

3) Why can users not sign up with usernames containing certain charicters such as { } and -? Is there a way to change that?

4) Every time I'm in the Admin panel, and click on the "Sections"
icon, I get sent to a page saying "Access Denied". It doens ttell me why, or how to fix it. Why is this?

1) Check the admin.php vs the authors table to see if the column count matches.

2) See 1)

3) Its a preventive measure aA-zZ 1-9 is all that should be allowed.

4) No idea there sorry. Just don't use it myself.

Which version of phpnuke are you using and is this an upgrade from an earlier version?
I am working on the assumption that the 'Sections' module has been activated in Admin -> Modules?

If this is Nuke 7.4 or 7.5 remove all files related to Sections, this was taken out of Nuke.

I'm useing PHP Nuke 7.4, and if its been removed, thats probably why.

I'm still trying to get an account switched to a god account though. When I installed PHP Nuke it created a new admin account, which turned out to be a super admin account, and not a God Account. How can I create a god account???

WTF does that mean? I know how to look stuff up in PHPMyAdmin, but have not idea what that means "Column Count"????

If you created an admin account when you installed phpnuke, then that should be the God account. You are also given the opportunity to 'create a normal account for this user'.
If you open up admin.php in a text editor, you should see a line like that references the AUTHORS table like this;

Code:

$db->sql_query("INSERT INTO ".$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', '')");

Compare that with the number of fields in your nuke_authors table.

Please not the code above is is from my site and will be different to yours in respect of the number fields.
