Mainfile

Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 2:27 pm

I uploaded all of the files, and the new mainfile.php brings a blank page when I hit my site. When I put my old mainfile back, all is well. I even completely deleted and uploaded the new mainfile with the same result. Ideas?

None at all. Try setting $display_errors=TRUE; in config.php and see if any error is displayed on your screen.

this is what I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sql_connect() in /home/mazxorga/public_html/mainfile.php on line 223

and this is line 223:

$dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);

It would appear that maybe not all of the files got ftp'd correctly. Verify that you have all the files in your db folder.

I deleted and reloaded the entire db folder and the new mainfile. same result... Bang Head

What are you using in your config.php?
Is your database type set to "MySQL"

It is MySQL, I'm stumped on this one. The working mainfile has this instead:

$dbi = $db->db_connect_id;

Actually that was changed in the Patched files, though the concept was good, it ended up being flawed. It was changed back to

Code:




$dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);

Do you have the following code to load the correct db file? It was also changed in the latest Patched files

Code:




if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');


} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');


} else {


  define('INCLUDE_PATH', './');


}





@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."config.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."db/db.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/sql_layer.php");


@require_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/ipban.php");


if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) {


  @include_once(INCLUDE_PATH."includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php");


}

The file that I tried was Raven's newest recently released 76distro, so yes the file is correct.

Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2005 12:49 pm

So, is this a dead issue now? What can I possibly do to get running correctly again?

Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2005 3:32 pm

It's not a dead issue. But, if you install the distro fresh out of the box, it does work.

I got it working now Very Happy

I guess that my ftp program didn't upload properly. This seems to be a recurring issue. I use smartftp, is there a reliable ftp program out there that actually uploads and overwrites and lets you know if there's a problem doing so?

So, my 2nd post was a pretty good pointer Laughing

? I always recommend WsFTP.

I second Raven's motion for WS-FTP. I have used about 10 different clients and I always go back to WS-FTP.

Filezilla rules Smile

But I have a question that pertains to mainfile.php. The Raven76 distro comes bundled with NukeSentinel 2.4.2, OK? Ok so far but I notice in the mainfile included with the package there is no NukeSentinel code after the opening tag, it seems you have to put it in yourself... OK I did that, using the Edits for Core Files folder nuke76.txt

Code:




if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


   @require_once("../../../config.php");


   @require_once("../../../db/db.php");


   @require_once("../../../includes/sql_layer.php");


   if (file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


   //@require_once("../../../includes/ipban.php");


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("../../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


   @require_once("../../config.php");


   @require_once("../../db/db.php");


   @require_once("../../includes/sql_layer.php");


   if (file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


   //@require_once("../../includes/ipban.php");


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("../../includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


} else {


   @require_once("config.php");


   @require_once("db/db.php");


   @require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");


   if (file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_mainfile.php"); }


   //@require_once("includes/ipban.php");


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


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_head.php"); }


   if (defined('NUKE_HEADER') && file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) { @include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php"); }


}

I also put in the other bit in function online

Code:







function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

Now I have a couple questions: Why isn't the NukeSentinel code already in the mainfile.php, and header.php for that matter? There is a custom_files folder in the distro's /includes folder but there is only an index.html in it, there is no custom_head.php or custom_header.php or custom_mainfile.php files. What are these files and do they only pertain to IPBan, which I don't use anyway? If I ran this I'd get a file not found error.

It is. Take out the code you've added and do a search for nukesentinel. Better yet, restore my mainfile.php and then do a search. If it wasn't already in there then you couldn't get to NukeSentinel(tm) from the admin screen.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:08 pm

Why so it is Smile

I have become so accustomed to the NukeSentinel code at the top of mainfile that it confused me to not see it there in the distro mainfile- but it is all integrated. I've restored your files to pristine condition!

Oh ye of little faith ..... ROTFL

It is just I believe in magic but don't know it when I see it Smile

Alas, Raven, I cannot install your distro as it is for a fresh install. I took a look at the ravennuke.sql and there are no 'drop table if exist' lines so it would not load.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:37 pm

Use phpMyAdmin and drop your tables. I do not wish to be responsible for deleting anyone's tables.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 10:10 pm

If I drop my tables I would lose everything I've put on my site. I don't want to be responsible for that! I really like the Raven76 distro but I think it is best for a new domain when I get it, and I will just upgrade my site the standarrd, non-magic way.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 10:20 pm

You confused me ROTFL

You mentioned the drop issue so I though that's what you wanted. Yes, it's as I stated in the distro or forums or both. It is for fresh installs. However, I have described the process for using existing data in another post but I don't have that handy.
