READ FIRST: Upgrading to 7.5/7.6

Site Admin Joined: Aug 17, 2003 Posts: 12383

Please read the following when doing an upgrade pre-7.5 to 7.5 and later versions of phpNuke. There is a new admin system, which will make old scripts possibly not working. Certain phpNuke files can be deleted - addons will need to be rewritten to support the new admin system.

If you don't read this topic first, before seeking help, then I will certainly point you here. If you have questions after you've done these steps, feel free to ask.

Link seems to working fine for me.. I don't know what's up with NukeResources right now.

But for everyone, here's the text:

Quote:

The following folders do not require any changes:
blocks
db
images only requires uploading code.bg.jpg to the main images folder.
includes
language
themes

The following files require no changes:
backend.php
banners.php
config.php
header.php
index.php
robots.txt
ultramode.txt

The admin language file only requires a few lines added to the start of it right before:

Code:
define("_SEND","Send");

The New lines are:

Code:
define("_DOWNLOAD","Downloads");
define("_ENCYCLOPEDIA","Encyclopedia");
define("_FAQ","F.A.Q.");
define("_NEWS","News");
define("_REVIEWS","Reviews");
define("_ADMPOLLS","Survey / Polls");
define("_TOPICS","Topics");
define("_WEBLINKS","Web Links");

The following files must be deleted from the admin case, links and modules folder:
all files relating to content, faq, download, encyclopedia, links, polls, reviews, stories, topics and users.
The rest of the files in the case and links folders require no changes.

The following files are the only ones that need updating in the admin/modules folder:
authors.php
backup.php
forums.php
modules.php
newsletter.php
optimize.php

All module main files can remain as they are, the only change is that you will need to upload an admin folder into the following modules:
Content
Downloads
Encyclopedia
FAQ
News
Reviews
Surveys
Topics
Web_Links
Your_Account

The following file must be deleted:
auth.php

The upgrade74-75.php file must be run from the main directory (where mainfile.php and config.php are) and deleted once run. That's about it.

Evaders, I have just installed a _fresh_ version of 7.6 with Chatserv's security patches, and I also get the Access Denied for my God login to the administrator's page.

Are these changes that need to be made even for fresh installs?

Not that I know of. I'm not sure why that is occuring, you might want to ask chatserv.

Done all those steps, still gettin Access Denied on module section of admin page. I have torn through all files in case/links/modules in the admin folder and replaced ALL instances of:

Code:

if (!eregi("admin.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }

and

Code:

if (!eregi("admin.php", $PHP_SELF)) { die ("Access Denied"); }

WITH

Code:

global $admin_file;
if (!stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "".$admin_file.".php")) { die ("Access Denied"); }

Upgrade 7.5 w/2.8 to 7.6 w/2.8 HELP!!!! What am I missing please help?? I have looked at tons of posts on this but no joy.

***EDIT***
Thank God I found the problem. When I u/l the new admin folders that are now in the modules I missed one.

I keep getting the above error message when clicking on a few of the modules in the Administration menu...

Ephmerids, NUCalendar, Sections, and Theme Control all give me this error... it appears as though I can still work with them, but, not sure why that error message appears.

I followed your steps, and, got rid of a few other error messages, so thanks! Just hoping these will go away... i hate errors.

Sincerely,

Jarhead

Ephermerids and Sections were removed from previous versions of phpNuke.

The other two look like addon modules. You'll have to ask the authors of those modules about fixing it.

Just deleted the other crap that wouldn't work.

Thanks,

You did not set the admin page in config.php correctly.
