Authorization Required error

Client Joined: Oct 26, 2004 Posts: 15

Hi all,

I just activated a site using the latest download of RavenNuke 76. Everything went very well until I tried to login to the admin.php page. I got this error from NukeSentinal:

Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.thormarinecorpleague.org Port 80
--------------------------
Here is a copy of my .htaccess file:

Options All -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
<Files .ftaccess>
deny from all
</Files>

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

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Leave this block commented out unless HTTPAuth is NOT available in your NukeSentinel(tm) Admin Panel.
# This code is mainly for use with CGI Authentication and most servers do not require it.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
<Files admin.php>
<Limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</Limit>
AuthName "Restricted by NukeSentinel(tm)"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile .staccess
</Files>
# -------------------------------------------
# End of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------

I printed out the HowToInstall doc and followed it exactly, or so I thought. Embarassed

First time installing a Nuke site. Any Idea what went wrong? NS username/pw combo is correct in the database and encripted.

With respect,

^^^^ i also have the same problem
only thing that didnt goto plan was the http auth
i had to use the cgi auth ( cant see page so cant confirm exactly)
i did paste the cgi auth setup setup code into .htaccess

all it keeps doing is asking me for my name and pass
which i entered..
i tried my forum pass, my admin pass and nuke core pass
all same result

Is your .staccess file empty?

Hi Montego,

No, it has the encryption code for the NS password. By the way, I can get into the site as a regular user.

Hi I'm also having this problem after install, the install went ok for nuke but all went wrong setting CGIauth on nuke sentinel. I also didnt have the option for HTTP auth, so I followed the instructions carefully for CGIauth.

My username and pw didn't work. I thought I must have made a mistake.. deleted the .htaccess and the .staccess and wiped my database, started over afresh reinstalling the tables etc with a new db and the original .htaccess and .staccess files from the nuke install.

All went wrong again when i set CGIauth I just get this error when i try logging in:

401 Authorization Required
Invalid login credentials!

the username and pw is definately correct.

i have the same stuff in my .htaccess and .staccess as the above posts.

after a few hours of searching simular posts on the site, I think I've found one that might solve the problem, for me at least.. but it's to late for me to try tonight. I'll give it a go tommorow. I don't know if it's the fix for anyone else who posted here with the same problem, but take a look. I'll post result for mine tommorow.

Hi djrx,

It was the path to the .staccess file in the .htaccess file! Rolling Eyes

The information in the below mentioned post fixed the problem. Cool

I got a bit of tunnel vision looking for a small typo.

Anyway, thanks for the help! Cool

With respect,

yeah mine worked as well
for the .staccess

however after i tried to change the styles that are already on the install i now get 2 problems
1st look at the typing.. its altered to CAPS and rather than the normal text it seems to its name in code
2nd how am i supposed to admin my modules.. it doesnt let me
and i logged in as admin, when i click on teh admin modules it just refreshes
