sentinal 2.0.1 problem

New Member Joined: Aug 13, 2004 Posts: 4

well heres the thing, ive installed the sentinal program ( and im 99% sure its correct installation) i followed the directions for instalation to the T. im getting a blank page along with a blank source file to that page when i try to access the configuration for the sentinal. the link it refers me to is this
admin.php?op=ABMain
ive installed the necessary sql database files and all were sucessful. i saw another post with the same problem, reinstallation fixed the problem. i destalled and reinstalled, to no avail. im not necessarily new to php but i know nothing about hacking it or preventing it from being hacked, so i wont mess with the programs functions without explicit direction from you guys. hate to mess something up and have to redo it all. thanks for you help
and consideration.

Have you added include("includes/sentinel.php"); to your mainfile.php just after the opening <? php line on it's own line. Like this:
<?php
include("includes/sentinel.php");

but i am having another problem that u may be able to fix. when i try and click on the litle red square with the ? mark inside of it. ( the hint boxes) or whatever that are called. it doesnt do anything, on the bottem of the page it says
javascript:void(0);

at the bottem left corner of the browser page, where it usually shows test of loading pages. probably a simple code error again hehe, any help is MUCH APPRECIATED. thanks again. hehe

Did you edit your javascript.php file? if you had forgotten the mainfile.php line chances are you also missed the instructions for that file too, check the readme file.

From the NukeSentinel(tm) README file:

Code:

JAVASCRIPT.PHP File Edits:


==========================


If you haven't altered your includes/javascript.php you can use the included one. Rename it from javascript.tmp


to javascript.php before uploading it or follow the directions below.


Open your includes/javascript.php file and find:


##################################################


# Include for some common javascripts functions  #


##################################################





and add these 5 lines:


global $sentineladmin;


if($sentineladmin > 0) {


  echo "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"includes/overlib.js\"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></s cript>\n";


  echo "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"includes/overlib_hideform.js\"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></s cript>\n";


}





so that it looks like:


##################################################


# Include for some common javascripts functions  #


##################################################


global $sentineladmin;


if($sentineladmin > 0) {


  echo "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"includes/overlib.js\"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></s cript>\n";


  echo "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"includes/overlib_hideform.js\"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></s cript>\n";


}

Quicjk note: see those s cript and /s cript. you have to take the space out of them. had to add the spaces so that Raven's site wouldn't block me Wink
