Hello,

I'm new to nuke and sentinal. After installing nuke 7.3 successfully, I tried to install sentinal>

It looked like it installed:

Goto NSN Sentinel™ Config

When I tried to goto the Config link above, I got a blank screen. I also tried it from my admin panal with the same results.

Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated>

This would imply that your mysql parameters in nuke config do not have CREATE table authority. Sometimes people use mysql user/pass in nuke that do not have create table authority/permission (I am one of those). That way no exploit in nuke can add tables. So, to install an application you need to change the user/pass temporarily to a user/pass that has permission. Could that be the case?

Or, maybe you actually meant to do an upgrade and not a new install?

This error is at the bottom of my table in phpmyadmin:

Do you think this is the problem?

Did you also follow the instructions in the README to fix the Your_Account bugs?

Do you think this is the problem?

It's a bit tedious but click on the documentation links one by one and you will get instructions on solving each issue.

By the way I really appreciate your help with this. RavensScripts

No, read the instructions at the bottom of the readme/install instructions about the modifications needed to the modules/Your_Account/index.php file.

I guess we should make SQL files availble in hte packages for those webmasters who do not have "Create" permissions. I'm so use to just poping in and creating tables on the fly I didn't think of that.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. After I successfully install and add

include("includes/sentinel.php"); to the mainfile.php I try and select:

Goto NSN Sentinel™ Config

Not only is that page blank, but the entire site is now blank.
I changed the modules/Your_Account/index.php file per the readme instructions and followed all the instructions to the letter. Did anyone else have the same problem, what am I doing wrong?

No one that I know of. Look at your server error log.

Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2004 9:09 am

Thank you for turning my one to the error log. It turns out that I had mis-configured the language file:

[error] PHP Warning: main(language/sentinel/lang-english.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/xxxxxx/public_html/www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/includes/sentinel.php on line 53
[Mon Jul 5 10:58:10 2004] [error] PHP Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'language/sentinel/lang-english.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/includes/sentinel.php on line 53

Once I moved the sentinel language folder to the right spot all is well.

Thank you for the help, I will be making a donation to your paypal shortly. RavensScripts

New problem,
Was able to configure sentinel, tried it goto Sentinel™ Administration and got a module page withe the sentinel header and sub-headers at the top and nothing below.

You need to tuen Warnings off. See this post for help http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/faq-2-Nuke+.html-+Troubleshooting#18

Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 1:57 pm

I turned the warnings off and cleared up all of that crap!

When I try to open sentinel from the admin section of my site I get the sentinel menu across the top of the sentinel admin page and nothing else.
The page appears blank accept for the menu, is that the way it is supposed to look?
If not, what is the fix? Thank you for your time. RavensScripts

Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 2:01 pm

You should see a menu block in the middle of the page with 6 menu links.
