If it is saying the path is wrong then the path is wrong - somehow. Without exchanging a bunch of posts if you will just PM to me this information I will take a look. Please reference this post in your PM.

Site URL
God admin id/pass
NukeSentinel(tm) id/pass
FTP URL, id/pass

AHA! You are not using Apache. You are using WebServerX which is apparently a setup like XAMPP except for a Mac OS. So either you are running on a Mac OS server or you are using an installation kit mad for a Mac on a non Mac server box.

Either way the configuration is masking the fact that you are using Apache. Therefore, as it says in the NukeSentinel(tm) admin panel, This function requires Apache to work.. NukeSentinel(tm) is unable to see Apache. It only sees WebServerX.

You can try this as a quick fix. Edit admin/modules/nukesentinel/ABMain.php.
Find the three occurrences of
if(!stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "apache"))
and change them to
if(!stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "WebServerX"))

Well, w/o showing the Apache server name you will need to modify all occurrences of checking for apache to checking for webserverx in all admin files that do the check.

I meant to say Server Software, not Server Name. We look for the case-insensitive string 'apache'. If you haven't masked it (as you have) you will see output like this:

SERVER_SIGNATURE: <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.39 Server at ravennuke.com Port 80</ADDRESS>
SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/1.3.39 (Unix) ....

There really isn't much sense in hiding it as the greater % run Apache. But, that's your call. I'll see if there's another easy/quick test for this, otherwise we may have to make it a configuration option. Thanks.

I understand, but if you do a phpinfo.php you will see that Apache is being masked as WebServerX in the Server_Software configuration setting which is what NukeSentinel(tm) uses.
