Only found a few threads with some info and none seem to help at the moment. Seems threads ended with no final result unless im just not getting it right. I'm not using any special characters and such.

Here is 1 thread

custard change $display_errors = FALSE to TRUE in your config.php and see if there is more information. Check also the tables nuke_users. Are there duplicate entries ? Does the nuke_users_ temp table exist in your database ?

This is what you had posted on the other site...

I looked in my database and i do have
nuke_users
nuke_users_temp

there are only 2 users on Nuke users. Myself and anonymous

You should not be having this problem.
Were all older files removed before uploading the latest version?
I only ask because there must be a conflict somewhere.

What older files?
I installed the FULL NEWEST Version of Raven. I never had to Update since this was my 1st install of Raven.

But did you do it over the top of another Nuke install?

Give us an example of a username that isn't working.

Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 7:23 pm

I never installed raven nuke until this week. this was my 1st time so i never installed it over another Nuke.

I tired different usernames. I tried ALAN, SILENTTOM etc... and put my correct email address. Stil nothing coming up. I had a friend try to register as well and same thing . INVALID Nickname for his as well.

I tried this

All you need to do is this:

Code:




ALTER TABLE `nuke_users_temp` ADD `requestor` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '' AFTER `time`;

Well i did that and when i would try to register. Only Blank page would come up. So i pu the original index file back in its place and worked again but still saying Registration error, Invalid Nickname

First of all, I would re-upload modules/Your_Account/index.php with a good FTP client like FileZilla.

If the problem persists, find this line of code in the above file:

Code:




    if ((!$username) || (empty($username)) || (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]',$username))) $stop = '<center>'._ERRORINVNICK.'</center><br />';

Change it to this just so we can see what it thinks the $username is:

Code:




    if ((!$username) || (empty($username)) || (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]',$username))) $stop = '<center>'._ERRORINVNICK .': ' . $username . '</center><br />';

Then try and register and report back what it says now.

is there a few to many spaces in this code or am i just trippin or does it even matter?

Huh? Did you try it?

Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:08 pm

Yes i tried it...exactly how you wrote the code and same thing comes up....

INVALID NICKNAME

Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:23 pm

But you didn't see the colon? At the very least I would expect:

INVALID NICKNAME:

(Note the trailing colon). Did you see that?

If so, that means somehow the $username is getting unset or cleared.

If you didn't see the colon, the wrong file is running/getting modified.

Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:39 pm

We have a Colon...
Is that good?
this is what came up

ERROR: Invalid Nickname:

Wow, you installed RavenNuke 2.10.01 and this is happening? I'm at a loss on this one.

Try this:

1. Re-download the package (I am trying to rule out a corrupt download and/or unpacking process)

2. Get yourself FileZilla from sourceforge.net (free and I've NEVER had an issue with it)

3. Use FileZilla to re-upload ALL your RavenNuke files per the instructions given.

I am thinking that we need to rule out a corrupted file somewhere.

Ok so let me get this....

Delete my site and all databases that refer to the site...

Then re-install everything all over again?

Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 12:22 pm

I would just delete the files and then re-upload them using FileZilla. Leave the database alone for now.

If you get stuck email me and I'll try and slot you in tomorrow morning provided you are not hosting with Goddady
