"Illegal File Access" in Admin Panel

Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 9:42 am

I installed Fortress and Sentinel 2.1.2 today. Now, when I go to admin.php, or to one of the admin modules (Approve Membership, Content, etc.) I get an error:

"Illegal File Access"

Sometimes it's in the middle of the Nuke page, other times it's on its own white page.

Can anyone point this n00b to how to let me back in to my Admin panel? Everything else on the site seems fine, I can still browse & post.

It's happening in IE as well as Firefox (on the same PC).

Also, I noticed that when I go to admin.php, I get all the "god" modules, but not the "regular admin" modules. That is were the "Illegal File Access" message pops up (which means I still have access to the Sentinel icon up top).

Running Nuke 7.5, sorry, forgot that the first time.

Ah, OK - I found the fix. I'll document it here for the next victim. Wink

In admin.php you need to add the line:

Code:

define('ADMIN_FILE', true);

preferably at the top near the credits, so that the site knows you're accessing it all thru the proper channels.

Thanks for documenting for us!
