Not able to long in as ADMIN

New Member Joined: Dec 20, 2007 Posts: 6

Hello all,

After being hacked three times a friend told me about Nuke Sentinel. SO i downloaded the latest version and installed it. It installed just fine (i think) the issue here is that when i attempt to log in as and admin through the admin.php page a windows box opens and asks for a user name and password. I enter the user name and password, with not succes. After the thirds time it give me a page 401. The text of the box is:
"The server www.xxxxx.com at Restricted requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

I did some searching on your forums and found several posts refering to phpmyadmin and creating a new account. I created a new account in the AUTHORS table and it still will not let me in. I am quite confused and i must have missed a step in the instructions or something. Any help you guys can provide would be great thanks!!!

You just haven't set the Admin auth up correctly/completely. To get back to square one follow the instructions in this faq http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/nukesentinelmanual-menu_faq.html#faq18

Then once you can get back into NukeSentinel(tm) admin, click the drop down box for Admin Auth in the Administrative Settings area. Then post back here and advise what your options are.

Raven,

thanks for the reply! I followed the steps in FAQ 18. I went to the database and looked for the field HTTP Auth. This value was already set to zero (0). I tried to log in again with the account i created with the phpmyadmin in the author field with no luck..

Edit your .htaccess file and comment out the following code.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Leave this block commented out unless HTTPAuth is NOT available in your NukeSentinel(tm) Admin Panel.
# This code is mainly for use with CGI Authentication and most servers do not require it.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <Files admin.php>
# <Limit GET POST PUT>
# require valid-user
# </Limit>
# AuthName "Restricted"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.staccess
# </Files>
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then once you can get back into NukeSentinel(tm) admin, click the drop down box for Admin Auth in the Administrative Settings area. Then post back here and advise what your options are.

I'm heading into bed but if you haven't figured this out by the time I next look at it I will get back to you if someone else hasn't.

okay i got it now. I recreated the HTACCESS file for the CGIAUTH. SO when i recopied the access file to the servber i was able to log in. Things are looking good, i am going to download the manual now and see how to configure the rest of the sentinel.. Isnt there a php-nuke block that shows the sentinel icon and blocked ip's? Thanks for the help Raven!!!!

Glad you're working again Smile

. If you ftp'd all the files according to the instructions you have the blocks and modules that you need. Just use the standard nuke ACP to activate the blocks that you want.
