I think Raven said its an XP SP2 issue that comes up for some people but not all. I don't know what exactly brings it out. Or what will fix it.

ip to country
admin Auth list
scan for new admins
database maintenance

I tried clicking on the little ? but all it does is load a blank page
and in the admin list
Admin Auth: You MUST set ALL admin passwords before activating HTTPAuth or CGIAuth!
MUST is a link all it does is load a blank page

Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like corrupted files upon FTP upload. Its happened to me many times. You need to make sure that these files are uploaded with ASCII option and NOT Binary. Hope that is all it is... If it helps, I have Win XP SP2 and downloaded Sentinel 2.1.3 from the download link at this site and successfully installed it about 2 weeks ago. So, unless something has changed in the download (doubtful), I think it is a good one.

Another thing to check is that you didn't have FTP failures. Maybe try to re-upload. I have also seen folks forget a step or two in the installation instructions and get "wrapped around the axle". Every instruction is an important instruction. Smile

Good luck!

Yeh sometimes odd extensions aren't in the default list for ASCII but otherwise double check your edits for the java maybe you missed something there.

You might also take a quick read of this manual [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
Its slightly out of date but it adds to the greater understanding of it all.

What I meant before was this part of the readme.txt

what if sentinal doesnt see you as a God Admin?

Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 8:07 am

Have you changed the name of the God admin? If so there is a place in the files where it can be changed to see any superadmin.

In includes/sentinel.php
Find function is_god($admin) {

there is a line commented out //if((strtolower remove the comments and put them in front of the line below it.
