PHP-Nuke 6.0
Version 2.0.6 of PHP-Nuke Port

Exactly what i do....
on a local network web server

copy the PHP-Nuke 6.0 directory tree
load up PHP-Nuke, create a super user / regular.
remove what's in the forums directory.

copy the PHP-Nuke Port of phpBB2 into the directory tree.
(the contents of the html directory into the pre-existing html directory)

login as admin to PHP-Nuke.
Click on the the Forums Module.
Setup the forums by choosing
1) the admin account i created for Nuke
2) create a new database.

it returns me to forums and in the right upper corner i get "Logout [ AdminName ]"

but when i try to click "Go to Administration Panel"
i get "You are not authorised to administer this board"

tried logging out, removing cookies, and logging in to only the forums or logging in as admin (pointing to the admin.php)

not sure what i'm doing wrong...

Clear your cookies again, Log in as the regular user, click forums, and you should see the admin cp at the bottom of the page.

i cleared out cookies.
regular user login for nuke.
clicked forums.

then there are no forums, as expected.
and a link at the bottom that says...
"Go to Administration Panel"

i click that and get...
"You are not authorised to administer this board"

In order to access the Forum Administration panel, your user_level for your regular User Loggin in the nuke_users table in the MySQL database needs to be set to 2.

Also, if you are running on a local server, globals in the php.ini have to be set to on. Whatever that means...hehe 8)

When you were in Nuke admin, adding the new forum, it asked you for a path and all that. there was a dropdown box with ttwo things in it. One being the word anonymous, and one being your user name. Did you put your user name in there?

Check to make sure that ALL the files that come with the port are in the correct place on your server.

me thinks mike is right on this...i dunno about that php.ini stuff, clueless there :P

but yes, make sure you set yourself to 2 in the database through phpmyadmin.

k, here's what my query returns.

Code:

mysql> select uname, user_level from nuke_users; +-----------+------------+ | uname | user_level | +-----------+------------+ | Anonymous | 1 | | Admin | 2 | +-----------+------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

i updated the php.ini in my WINNT folder and that worked.

Code:

; Whether or not to register the EGPCS variables as global variables. You may ; want to turn this off if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope ; with user data. This makes most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which ; case you can access all of the GPC variables through the $HTTP_*_VARS[], ; variables. ; ; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require ; register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead ; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of. ;register_globals = OFF register_globals = ON

thanks guys.

Wow thanks Mikem for the reminder about the php.ini file (located in Windows folder in XP, winnt folder in 2000/NT)
And thanks Dukaruk for the exellent posting of the contents of your ini file. This should really help a lot of people with a seemingly hopeless problem.
