Hi hi all,

I'm currently in the process of trying to set up a business website using PHP-Nuke. Its a small business and the ease and neatness of PHPNuke is what attracted us to using it. We started out grabbing a new host and decided to try PHP-Nuke 7.9... A week later after reading piles of posts saying...

DON'T USE 7.9

... I'm still cringing... Sigh.

We haven't done anything more than some rudimentry modifications and want to place the emphasis on trying to be as secure as possible before any features that may have come in the list versions to come out. We have an old website running 7.5 but in the spirit of keeping up to date we wanted to go with 7.9. And have been regretting it ever since.

What version would people recommend as a good base to start with?

What version of Nuke Sentinel would be advised to use with such?

Any opinions on such would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nev

Thanks a bunch Raven for the quick reply. Going to try setting them up tonight yet on the server and work up from there. We had a few other mods to add to the base install that didn't work under 7.9 anyway hehe. Smile

Will keep yah posted how it goes.

Hmmm attempted to pull down the most current version of Sentinel and it redirected me to the website below. Downloaded the file and opened it up to a big nothing?!?! Wonder if their copy is corrupt or not....

Works just fine for me. It's more than likely the long-standing Internet Explorer bug since SP2 that's documented in several places here in these forums. Search the forums for tar.tar

Got it downloaded the other night and began the process of modifying the files to get Nuke Sentinel running. Ran into a block of sorts though. I supposedly am running with 7.6 ver 3.1 but can't seem to find a hunk of code in the mainfile.php I need to modify.

Acording to the Mainfile 7.6.txt I'm supposed to find...

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");


   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");


   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");


   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"); }


}


And make it look like this...

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"); }


}


But all I can find is this...

Code:



if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');


} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');


} else {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');


}





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


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


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


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


if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {


  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");


}





if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  if(empty($admin_file)) {


    die ("You must set a value for admin_file in config.php");


  } elseif (!empty($admin_file) && !file_exists($admin_file.".php")) {


    die ("The admin_file you defined in config.php does not exist");


  }


}


Now this is working off a non uploaded version. Do I need to set up the site and then pull it from the "live" version of the mainfile.php?

Ahhh kk

Let me know if I got this wrong but in the code I'm referencing in the mainfile.php your having us comment out the lines using the "//" that call the ipban.php and putting in a replacement line underneath it that instead calls the nukesentinel.php module?

No worries. I've done some basic programming in the past so I kinda can muddle through some stuff ok. Got her up and running so no worries on my part. I just wanted to post my expereince so as Raven has put it others can search the boards. heheh

I'm actually kinda surprise the RTFM smiley isn't a STFB smiley. Cool
