superadmin/admin problems

Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 7:01 pm

Okay I am not sure I made a superadmin. I added a new user but how do I make him super? I opened up phpmyadmin and did what I was suppose to there (created it) but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Also when I am signed on (admin) I can't go to edit admins it says acess denied.

I read somewhere about checking my permissions (did that), I reuploaded everything in case it didn't get loaded correctly (as ACSII mode) and nothing changed.

I don't know if this matters or not but I have phpnuke 7.7

You want to look at your authors table. Admins and users are entirely two seperate systems in phpNuke.

I have looked at my authors table. I have 2 in there now there is this area that is labeled radminsuper and I have 1 set for both. Is that what is wrong? I can't even log in anymore... not sure what I did. I will keep messing around with it though.

I should say I can't log in to the admin.php anymore. I can log in but just not there.

Might be easier if you are in a new install to just reinstall the sql file and creat the superadmin thru the top block when you first go to the site.

Okay thanks for your help but does God really mean GOD or my username? Also my main problem is right now is when I log in I can't even SEE my admin stuff. So I can't change anything. Confused

I did what you said with my username (main one) and nothing changed. I went directly to my admin.php and when I went to sign in it wouldn't work.

What sql file?

He means the original SQL file from your PHPNuke version.

Be warned that doing this will reset your site and you will lose your current data, but sounds like a fix to your problem to me.

It's the only thing I can think of doing right now. I can even add news to my site so it's not going to be a big deal.

I don't know what original SQL file you are talking about, sorry. I used my control panel to put it on my site so I didn't really have to deal with all that.

If you would like email me at admin@nukedesign.com and I can do that for you for a small fee.

Up to you, but I can get it back to original running smoothly again.

Other future services are also available.

Thanks
