Problem after update NS v2.6.01 + IP2Country2008-09-0 EDITED

Worker Joined: May 26, 2006 Posts: 153

I have just updated my RavenNuke 2.20.01 websites and have had some problems (I was going to wait untill v2.30 was released but one of the users was getting banned for no reason and I couldn't find the IP in any table or .htaccess files).

First a number of the modules didn't install properly and left black screens, most of these have now been sorted I think after resorting to the full install (not upgrade). The IP2Country updates don't seem to have worked properly from the installer, as before you had feedback that something was happening, nothing this time and a lot of unknown countries now in the database.

I have also had to turn of the string blocker as each time I turn it on and try to change content on the website I get the following message (The IP address doesn't get written to database of .htaccess file).

Probably the string blocker is the same as being blocked on this site. We really need to see the POST String that you editted out. Just put it as a .txt file and link us to it so we can few the entire message

No sure if this is related but I also have someone getting the following error message, but only from work on IE. Have asked them to do the usual cookie and browser cashe clear and restart. No change and again there is no sign of the IP addresses in the database or .htaccess file.

j4rdin - if he is trying to access the admin area and gets this message then the IP would not appear in the database or htaccess
Is your NS and IP2C information up to date?

Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2008 7:34 pm

I can't seem to get any blocked pages with what you sent me. Or are those "ody2" classes supposed to represent "body2"

Basically anything that can't be posted here because of NukeSentinel could be the same issue. So a .txt file with exactly what it outputted is better.

Using latest RN and NS v2.6.01 and IP2Country_2008-09-0. But not entirely sure that the IP2Country files have uploaded correctly. The problems don't seem to occur on my other site which I upgraded after this one. Have just upgraded Beyond Compare to v3 and will try running it to see what the differences are between the two sites.

Yes the "ody2" classes seem to be a hang over from the original page which was linked to a style sheet and should have been "body2". Both of these pages had been put together in Dreamweaver for a straight html website and have then been included when the site was brought over to RavenNuke.

I have just checked the original page that generated the errors and it doesn't include any classes or links to that style sheet. I have included the full text in this post and checked it will PREVIEW ok, have now sent the complete POST text to you as PM.

Ok have deleted the files above and un-installed and re-installed NukeSentinel and the IP2Country files and the string blocker seems to be working on both sites now.

The IP2Country installer on the full Nuke version doesn't seem to work properly as it gives no feedback when each file has been loaded, so just worked through each one in turn.

I still seem to have blank screens returned when trying to use the "Clear Expired Blocked IP's" and "Clear Expired Blocked Ranges" menu's, but can't find what is missing from the download v website. I assume that the download might be corrupted in some way, as this will be the third time of un-installing and installing Nuke.

With Javascript on, the Import IP2Country will cycle through each one until it finishes at the end. Let it go Smile
