I have this same problem, and after reading through the posts and trying the tricks that Raven suggested I think I may just have a CHMOD problem. I tried the PHP_SELF test suggested above and it returned this,

Server PHP_SELF = /raven.php

Server_Vars PHP_SELF =

(I named the file raven.php)

I also tried the Humpa selftest and it returned this

_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is /phpselftest.php
PHP_SELF is /phpselftest.php

Is this what I should see for a PHP_SELF test or should some other variable come up? If this looks OK, what CHMOD settings should I set for folders. The instructions tell me that the defauld settings will work. Thanks for all help.

Yes, it should always return the script that is running.

Folders - 755
Files (except ultramode.txt) - 644
ultramode.txt - 664

Guest

I don't seem to have an ultramode.php. There is an ultramode.txt it has this in it:

General purpose self-explanatory file with news headlines
%%
Welcome to PHP-Nuke
/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1
2000-04-12 12:00:00
god
PHP-Nuke

phpnuke.gif

Should I rename it to a .php file?

Guest

I thought about the chmod thing, But I know it isn't a problem. With as much frustration as I have been having, you find yourself doing silly things like 'chmod -Rf 755 *'. I think i also did added an error_reporting(0); call after every <? occuring in every file. I still haven't had a chance to see if the .htaccess solution may work.

Guest

Currently my .htaccess file contains this

deny from all

Would I just add

PHP_FLAG register_globals On

So the file should look like this?

deny from all
PHP_FLAG register_globals On

And would I add this line to all .htaccess files?

It should be .txt - sorry

Also
PHP_VALUE error_reporting 2039
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On

Guest

Looking at my php.ini output, It looks like the only setting that conflicts with what I have heard so far is is the output_buffering. Hope that will fix it Razz

Course it says I have the correct error_reporting setting, but I know I have to overide that too. Thanx for all the help.

Guest

Well, All I can say is Dont't Use CIHost for your php-nuke needs. According to the ini file, register globals is on, I also set it in my .htaccess file (which I copied to every concievable directory) If I don't manually overide error_reporting at runtime, That seeting won't take effect either. In short, they have something really messed up. Or I may be completely incompetant (I prefer the first choice)

Guest

I added the lines

deny from all
PHP_FLAG register_globals On
PHP_VALUE error_reporting 2039
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On

to all of my .htaccess files and it still didn't work, Im going crazy. Everything seems to be in order but still nothing. I also deleted my cookies just in case, then tried it on a PC that i haddent accessed it on before. Anything else you can think of?

Guest

Well Bishop, you seem to have the same problem I have. Do you use CIHost for your webhosting? Anyway, if you figure this out, I would appreciate an email at mscoggin@nmsu.edu

Guest

Well I think Im just going to try and user a 5.5 version of Nuke. Hopefully I will be able to get around the Admin loop that I keep hearing about. Sad

Guest

I tried V6.0, didn't work, let me know if 5.5 does, though I really do need the blocks :/

Guest

Before I go down the long road of installing 5.5 could someone take a look at http://www.newtware.com/analyze.php and let me know if there is anything here that would cause the Access denied problem I am having.

Thanks

Very Happy
