Illegal File Access?

Regular Joined: Sep 20, 2004 Posts: 79

Kind of strange. My production site has been fine for months now and suddenly this evening I go to log into admin, it accepts my password but when it goes to load the admin panel I get Illegal File Access.

It does have me loged in as admin though because I can see the "inactive modules" and admin block. But soon as I hit anything that leads me to the main admin panel I get the Illegal File Access.

Really have no clue where to start on this one. I haven't changed any files or added anything to it for awhile now. So not like I can track it down to something i've done.

Was PHP upgraded or the PHP.ini changed by your host?

I have test sites on the same server that I am able to log into admin section fine. It's just my main production site that went wacky.

You might check the htaccess in the nuke directory. Maybe you blocked yourself or someone blocked you. You might also try accessing it from a different IP.

Yeah I checked the .ht no luck there either ;(

Were you trying to access a specific admin function? Is the error message coming from Nuke or from Apache? That will tell you whether or not it's htaccess.

Any admin function. Bascially this is what happens. I'm actually loged in as admin but when I go to hit
Administration

Anything that will bring me to a admin.php?op=
I will just get a page that says Illegal File Access this does show up inside of nuke if I click on the administration link in the admin nuke block. Now if I click content it will take me out of nuke and just give me illegal file access error.

Strange. Did the permissions on your admin.php change, or the admin files for the different admin functions you're trying to access? If you're not sure whether they changed, what are the values now?

Yeah it's odd. My admin.php in the root is 644 admin folder is 755.

I'm not sure what it is i've been running nuke backends a long time now this never happend to me before.

I have no idea what did it but I found a solution to anyone with a similiar problem.
In the admin.php in root I added

define('ADMIN_FILE', true);
after the <?php

Well i've been doing alot of work on a test site with nuke plat so i'm guessing maybe I uploaded something to my main site by accident and it messed it up lol.
