I have made my fiance a super user at the website we run together. However, he isn't able to access the administration area. Whenever he tries to log in to the Admin, a page comes up that simply says Begone. How can I fix it so that he too can use the administration tools?

Couple of questions.

1. Is his admin username created successfully in the Edit Admin screen?
2. What version of PHP-Nuke are you using?
3. Is this an upgrade or fresh install?
4. Has he tried clearing all his cookies and temp. internet files?

Thank you for responding!


Yes, his admin username was created successfully in the Edit Admin screen.
We're running version 7.3
Upgrade
Yes, we've tried clearing the cookies and temp files.

Completely unrelated, I got this error earlier today:

Couldn't update private forum permissions

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 1)' at line 2

INSERT INTO nuke_bbauth_access (forum_id, group_id, auth_mod) VALUES (1, , 1)

Line : 425
File : /home/syren/public_html/rpg/modules/Forums/admin/admin_ug_auth.php

What's it mean and how do I fix it?

OK first things first. The reason your New Admin is not working is probably because your nuke _authors table has incorrect/too many or not enough fields. Check your table and it's fields against the ones in the default package of nuke in the nuke.sql file.

As for your second problem, upgrading to chatserv's fix pack for your version of nuke should fix that. If not, check http://www.nukefixes.com for the fix.

Okies, thanks. I'll try those first and if it doesn't work, I'll edit this post.

Edit: I did all of that and now I have an even bigger problem. Look.

No, there isn't a back up.[/url]

Check your config.php and make sure the database info is filled out. The patched series contains an updated config.php so you need to fill out the required info again.

Thank you very much! I was very worried that I'd have to redo the entire site! As for the admin troubles I'm having with my fiances account - I'm thinking of not even attempting to fix it. I don't know what I'm looking at when I enter myPHPAdmin and see all those files and I'm afraid to touch them.

Yea, issues like you describe could have come from the upgrade. Most likely a field issue as mikem stated. You could add admins manually in phpmyadmin, but if you're not comfortable messing with the database, I don't recommend doing so.

message_die() was called multiple times. This isn't supposed to happen. Was message_die() used in page_tail.php?

I got this message when I tried to access my forums. Also, my site says I'm logged in and I can access the admin area, however, when I try to log in under the users area, it keeps telling me my password is incorrect.

Clear all your browser cookies and temp. internet files, close all browser windows. Then re-login to the site.
