Can not log in with Sentinal

I even downloaded the edited files for my nuke from NSN site and uploaded them to my site overwritting the stock ones.

With sentinal enabled in Mainfile.php

No one can log in and many of the admin.php pages will not refresh/open when working in sentinal admin panel.

I tried doing the edits noted on NSN site to the your_account/index.php file but the code to replace is not the same as the code in the stock files

Sentinal worked ok on a site 2 hosts ago in 1 week. It was patched and upgraded and trashed over 2 years worth of crap. I figured a fresh install would be the way to go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love sentinal but it wont work now. No one can log in.

Comment out the NukeSentinel(tm) lines in mainfile.php to know for sure that it's a NukeSentinel(tm) setup issue.

Thanks for you help and quick responce

Code:

<?php





//if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


//  @include_once("../../../includes/nukesentinel.php");


//} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


//  @include_once("../../includes/nukesentinel.php");


//} else {


//  @include_once("includes/nukesentinel.php");


//}

I added // to rem it out till i get it so your)account will work so people can log into the site.

I am using the mainfile.php I got from NSN site . It behaves the same with the stock file too.

Thanks

Uncomment it and remove the @ signs to see if it generates an error message.

I removed the @ and go the same results , Logging in does not work, blank pages at your account after entering username and password

What does the edit in mainfile.php do ? looks like it is looking for the sentinal php file. could i just enter a full path to it?

I am testing this on a clean 7.6 patched2.9 sentinal onlt in a seperate directory. Since this seemed to have worked on a different host could it be my web host messing things up?

My test site works fine.

Any pointers to as where i should look or start replacing files?

Could it be the database structure or contents making this trouble?

I am copying all the files from my test site to my main site and hoping i dont blow anything up

If this doesnt work I will PM you the login infor.

Thank you very much for the help and the offer to log in.

It must have been something in the config.php

I coppied all the files from test site to live site except the congfig.php. still not right,

I edited the test sites config for live site and copied that over and all seems well now. I must have had a typo or something in the old one.

Thanks of rall your help
