Protector 1.15b2 - Adding admin gives blank page

Lieutenant Joined: Jul 18, 2003 Posts: 180

I installed Protector 1.15b2 ( 1st time installation) over PHP-Nuke 7.4 ( patched version from NSN )

Adding new admin ( after filling up the fields and submittiong ) it takes to a blank page.

and the admin account doesnt get added

I am having this exact same problem. Going back into admin shows no admin was added.

Me thinks we found a bug!

Not a bug.
If you are both using NSN 7.4 or even Chatserv, then you have to realize that Protector hasn't been tested on that version as of yet.
So you will have to use trail and error with regards to the editing of the files; header.php, admin.php and admin/modules/authors.php
Other factors that can cause these problems are having more than one security script running along side Protector like, Sentinel and Fortress.

I have tested and included instructions for making Protector run on Nuke 7.4 (Chatserv patched.)

I am not using either of those you mentioned.

As for trailing, I went so far as to replace the header.php, admin.php etc with the original files that came with 7.3

No change.

Protector adds an entry to your DB. It adds radminblocker to your nuke_authors table. If you remove that you can add admins.

(*HOWEVER*) *If you do remove that from the table, you will NOT beable to modify Protector* Therefore, if you do remove it you will have to readd it to the table in order to modify Protector.

This is just a temp solution.

YES!

and you were absolutely right. I removed the entry and now I was able to create my admin.

Many thanks.....

NOTE: MAKE SURE TO READD THAT TABLE ENTRY OR ELSE YOU WON'T BEABLE TO MANAGE PROTECTOR

I already removed protector from my site... It was causing way to many problems.

I was thinking of replacing phpnuke as a whole, but now that this problem is fixed will hold of on that notion for now.

Thanks again Wink

Ok, I didn't know you had Protector already removed.

No problem. That's what the forums are for.

I had to, it was causing to many problems. Darrell talked me through the removal process but the blank page after adding an admin remained.

I have a few posts in this forum about it but the main reasoning can be found on the bottom of this page http://nukecops.com/postt32474.html

I would like to find an absolute way to protect not only the one site, but all of them, a few are using phpnuke... others ***** Wink

One other thing, for future reference. When removing Protector, you can upload the installation file back into your root. Run the file by going to it directly. www.yoursite.com/phpnuke/installationfile.php. You should be able to click Uninstall. Doing that will remove all changes to the DB (DB only), only things left are the manual changes done to the certain files that where instructed so in the installation text.

Is there any way to combine these threads <laughing> as I am getting dizzy bouncing between the two Razz
