.HTACCESS contains

Code:

# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


# -------------------------------------------


<Files .staccess>


deny from all


</Files>





<Files admin.php>


<Limit GET POST PUT>


require valid-user


</Limit>


AuthName "mynormal admin login name"


AuthType Basic


AuthUserFile /mysite/details/etc/etc/.staccess


</Files>


# -------------------------------------------


# End of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


# -------------------------------------------

Both .staccess and .htaccess are in the root folder, the password is encrypted within .staccess and I am using the correct details.
I have saved passwords in sentinal config within admincp and used send option to creat the .staccess file.

The above code in htaccess is the only way it will let me log in.
If I change it back to

Code:

AuthName "Restricted by NukeSentinel(tm)"

I go back to 401 errors.

I am using latest sentinal with nuke 7.6 running on linux server via ftp access to files and phpmyadmin for DB.
All Sql queries run fine and no other probs with sentinal.

By the way I have dealt with PcKiller .........It was my AV deleting two files.

Is /mysite/details/etc/etc/ your root folder?

yes

Hmmm... and the user ID and password (case sensitive) match what you entered?

yep

It looks like it should work. I'd be happy to take a closer look if you PM your details (website, ftp user & pw and the user ID and pw you are using for authentication).

You are missing the point.....now I have altered that line in .HTACCESS it is working fine

Ah. So the point of your original post was to get assistance with PC Killer, which you have already resolved?

As I stated previously, I can't see how changing the AuthName would have any impact on whether or not it works. But I will test to confirm...

No....the point of my original post was to add to those previous posts with regards to the HTaccess and AuthNmae.

My bottom line was to comment about PCKiller.......Which was a seperate comment. Sorry if you misunderstood.

The main reason i could not log in was because the CGIAuth Setup gave me the wrong Authname. I have read about this on other forums. CGIAuth Setup tells you to copy that code into htaccess when in fact your authname should be your normal admin.php username.

Does that make sense.........I believe this is a minor bug / problem or whatever.

Maybe that generated code should include a comment with regards to this ?

Sugs, about PCKiller™ just put the files in a new folder inside the abuse folder like public_html/abuse/pckiller/* then if you wanna use that pc zapper script just set one or all forwards in NukeSentinel™ config to the template file in that folder... like abuse/pckiller/abuse_author.tpl. Works for me. Smile

As for your anti-virus deleting a couple files in PCKiller, well, just turn off the anti-virus while you download and unzip the package and upload it then turn back on the anti-virus. Nothing in the package will damage your computer, just your anti-virus' sensitive feelings is all it is. BTW thanks for the htaccess codes, mind if I borrow them to try out?

Hi kguske, see you got promoted. Congrats! Smile
