I have been successfully running php-nuke for 9 months the all of a sudden i cannot access my admin.php all i get is the following error :

Warning: dir() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/country/public_html/admin.php on line 220

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/country/public_html/admin.php on line 221

On contacting my host they said they have upgraded SQL any ideas on a way to get around this error would be appreciated.

Hrm... a couple of odd things...

I Googled those errors, and it looks like everyone that's having that problem is running PHP-Nuke 7.5, so maybe it's a '7.5 thing'.

Secondly, it looks like you, or your ASP, recently switched providers. At the end of July, you were being hosted by Auckland NZ Internet Access Provider. Now you are being hosted by BurstNET Technologies. Double-Hrm...

Don't know what to tell you. Maybe someone else will pop in here...

After these errormessages started happening i had my ISP switch me from a New Zealand server to an American server to see if this solved the problem still no luck.

Im currently running 7.8 patched 3.1.

I have tried reinstalling versions from 7.4 - 7.8 (clean installs) and also clean SQL installs and get the same error message with every version.

Nearly pulling my hair out!

Thanks for your reply VinDSL

Run phpinfo() and look for this setting: disable_functions

Is dir in the list? If so, that means your host has disabled it.

disable_functions dir, readfile, virtual, passthru, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_open, proc_terminate, system dir, readfile, virtual, passthru, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_open, proc_terminate, system

Yep. Your host has disabled all of those functions. He even has several in there twice! If he refuses to allow it, come on over to my hosting Wink
