Hey i just installed NukeSentinel_242pl3_70-79 .. everything went great .. i setup the .htaccess and .staccess files in my root dir... then i logged in after it asked me for login/pass... i went into the nukesentinel admin config and get admin AUTH or something.. i set the same passwd i put in my .staccess for admin and then clicked save and it locked me out

now it asks for 2 auth's

1: "Restricted" (this one is from my /root/.htaccess file) which i can loginto but then right away it asks for another login/pass:
2: "Protected-11314 by NukeSentinel(tm)" and i cant get in!!!

someone please help
thx

Try removing the password info. you placed in the .staccess file and then logging in.

If that doesn't work put the information back and maybe someone else who knows more can be of more help.

Ok I got back in my site...
When I goto admin.php it asks me for the login/pass which is in the .staccess file which I have no problem logging in..

I just have a question now because last time i was fooling around with these settings I locked myself out... WHen Im in the NukeSentinel Admin Config where it says:

Admin Auth: You MUST set ALL admin passwords before activating HTTPAuth or CGIAuth!

htaccess Path:
Normally: /hsphere/local/home/seduxion/beta.tur.ca/.htaccess

staccess Path:
CGIAuth Setup
Normally: /hsphere/local/home/seduxion/beta.tur.ca/.staccess

Crypt Salt:

What should I do? Do I delete my .htaccess/.staccess files after I set admin passwords via NukeSentinel admin Control Panel? i dunno wat todo.. someone please help

thx everyone

No You do not delete your .htaccess/.staccess files !!!

What it is telling you is to set all your Admin passwords before you activate httpAuth or cgiAuth.

Never delete your htaccess/staccess files!

ok after i set my admin password do i enable Protect or leave it Not Protected?
then i go back to nukesentinel admin config and enable httpAuth? do i input the htaccess and staccess paths too below?

last time i did this.. i set the admin passwd.. then went back to admin config and turned httpAuth ON and I set the htaccess/staccess paths and it wouldnt let me login

In that case it sounds like your htaccess and staccess files are not writable - the user/pass info is not being saved to the files.

no they are writable...

i chmod'd them 666 both files .. they r good to go

im just abit confused... since my .htaccess file has:
# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
<Files .ftaccess>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files .staccess>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files admin.php>
<Limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</Limit>
AuthName "Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/myaccount/public_html/.staccess
</Files>

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area
# -------------------------------------------

and my .staccess file has:
qwerty:&qx35xXDE36kk

then I set my admin password in NukeSentinel admin config... right?
then I turn httpAUTH ON... right?
do I have to set the .htaccess/.staccess paths below the httpAUTH ON option?

thx everyone
great support!
