Problem adding NS to 7.9

I'm following the instructions to a (T) and there's one part of the instructions that are not in my PhpNuke 7.9 Patch 3.1 mainfile.php.

}

The problem is, none of this exists. I don't know where to add it. How do I do it? It won't work.

Find the lines like the following and add to it

Code:




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

You may want to consider also some of the other advice here that using above php-nuke 7.6 is NOT recommended. If this is a new install you may want to look at redoing it to lower grade due to security issues with higher than 7.6 versions even with the patches and NS installed. The last few releases of php have been anything but good according to the experts.... Smile

Just a thought. One recommendation I have is to use the RavenNuke package, because all of the latest patches and latest version of NS are installed already. It is php version 7.6. It is really one of the most simpilist installs I have done so far. Hope this helps.

I've already tried for one 8 hour session to downgrade from our current 7.9 to 7.6 but there were too many complications that we couldn't figure out how to make everything work.

So we made the decision to move forward with adding sentenial to our current distribution.

And for Evaders, what do you mean by "@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/nukesentinel.php"); "

Am I to look in the nukesentinel.php file for those modifications?

Add the line to mainfile.php
