How to install Sentinel.

Involved Joined: Aug 06, 2005 Posts: 301

I have just downloaded Nuke Sentinel and am trying to install it on 7.6 with Patch 3.0

As explained in the online install manual, I have uploaded the following directories to my server and anywhere that a file existed with the same name as a file being uploaded, the old file has been deleted and the new one now replaces it:

Uploading Files:
----------------
NukeSentinel(tm) Files in Directories: FTP Upload to:
html/abuse/*.* ----------------> root/abuse/*.* Not needed for upgraders
html/admin/*.* ----------------> root/admin/*.*
html/blocks/*.* ----------------> root/blocks/*.*
html/images/*.* ----------------> root/images/*.*
html/includes/*.* ----------------> root/includes/*.*
html/language/*.* ----------------> root/language/*.*
html/modules/*.* ----------------> root/modules/*.* Not needed for upgraders

However in addition to the aformentioned list, I also have the following additional 2 directories and do not see where they should go:

Includes
nsnst_installer

Help with this final major stage of my website set up will very much be appreciated.

What's in the includes directory? Didn't you already upload that? It might the files that need to be changed.

The nsnst_installer directory is a temporary directory that should be deleted after installing NukeSentinel.

Make sure you check the edits for core files...

Kevin,

On the server I do have an includes directory full of files.

I am just explaining that in the install guide/instructions text file that is downloaded with Sentinel, it only mentions that you should upload the files I previosuly listed and does not mention that there is an includes directory.

So I was simply questioning if I should upload it or not?

You'll need to change some files, just like you did with mainfile.php for the CNB YA module. The changes are detailed in the Edits for Core Files directory of the NukeSentinel download. It should be referenced in the installation instructions.

The only thing I would like to add (and I don't know if this is the best place) is that the install notes I got didn't include telling me to add those 7 magic lines of code to the mainfile.php file:

Quote:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
include("../../../includes/sentinel.php");
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
include("../../includes/sentinel.php");
} else {
include("includes/sentinel.php");
}

I found these here and added them and still got the function error as if I hadn't added them.

Yes I know that I am slow Shocked

but I FINALLy figured out that there is no /includes/sentinel.php file anymore and that it is now named includes/nukesentinel.php! Yeah, rookie mistake but I thought I would post it just in case someone else was having that problem.

so the code I finally added below <?php was

Quote:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
include("../../../includes/nukesentinel.php");
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
include("../../includes/nukesentinel.php");
} else {
include("includes/nukesentinel.php");
}

and I got the admin menu!

While I am here, kudos to everyone that is involved in this, I know how much effort this must take!

Thank you for the kudos!

The instructions are not missing Smile

. If you look in the folder Edits_For_Core_Files, you should see mainfile7.1.txt - mainfile7.8.txt. Look closely (in the Change To) and you will see the lines are now moved down aways in mainfile.php.

my first post and I step in it.

Of course you are absolutely right. I was having trouble with pasting large chunks of code with Putty and thought the only difference was commenting out the ipban file. Right below that is the @include_once("../../includes/nukesentinel.php"); line.

My apologies and thank you for letting me see the error of my post!
