After applying the Sec-Fix 7.3 update(s), I now get the following error message when going to my site:

You can't access this file directly...

What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Restore from your backups and Chat will respond, I'm sure.

In restoring my site, I kept refreshing until I could get the index.php to show and the problem seemed to be with the module "News"....

I too had problems after installing this update. My site was toast. All i did was delete the News module and install a fresh one. Now the only problem i see is the Sentinel module.

Here's what shows:

ยท 202.156.2.114 - _AB_REASON1A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_AB_ABUSEBLOCKER 1.2.0

It looks to be language module?

In doing a check of the files between 7.3 (unpatched) and sec-fix 7.3, I noticed the following:

comments.php didn't have the following code, and now it does:

Code:


if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
   die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}


Maybe comments.php shouldn't have that code added?

It seems i need to apply some more fixes after looking at a security report given to me by Raven (yes, school's out) regarding the issue discussed here upload all modules except the one you have set as the home module which most likely will be the News module. You can upload all of its files except its index.php file, the module one sets as home module does not get modules.php passed through its url hence the you can't access this file directly.

So if News is the main module on our front page, then upload everything except for modules/News/index.php ?!? Is that correct?

The Forum files were removed from the patch, they were not required.

Question though, why did your lang file get replaced? the patch does not include any language files.

i must have over written it some how without noticing it. It was entirely my mistake. Thanks goodness for backups.

After checking the files i found out why having the SCRIPT_NAME on the homepage module returned a you can't access this file directly... message:
open Nuke's main index.php file and find:
Code:
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "modules.php";

replace with:
Code:
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = "modules.php";

Is this code that has to be added after the 7.3 update?
I edited this file and afterwards i got the "cant access......"

Remember to edit the News module's index file again, we had removed the code from it before but it was now restored.

I replaced $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "modules.php";
with $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = "modules.php";
the copied over the index.php from the 7.3 update(news/index.php) all is well.

Thats all we have to do or do we edit the index.php?

If you can view your homepage then that is all.

I should have been a bit more clear, I didn't have a problem with my language files like porcupinepc, but was just confirming the initial "fix" worked for me.

Now, I have edited index.php as instructed, and re-uploaded modules/News/index.php and things work fine! I suspect porcupine's issue with the forum on line 61 was exactly the same as mine where replacing all _SERVER=['PHP_SELF'])) { code had resulted in some extra comma's and a couple extra (( when replaced.... (was weird, but.....when I fixed that, my forums worked, although as Chat said, Forum files don't need updating)

I'm still having trouble with this, and the above suggestions don't fix it.

Zip your main index.php file and the index of the module you have as homepage module and post a download url.
