Regarding IP Tracking, the Excluded Range might be keeping a certain IP from being tracked. Not sure on this, but if this is a local set up, it might also be possible that the localhost IP is not tracked. I would wait and see with the upgrade and live site with activity what happens.

Regarding permissions, here is MY opinion on the subject:

.htaccess - must be 666 (in most hosting situations but not all) in order for NS to write the ban IP addresses to the file. If you have no desire for NS to do this, it can also be 644 (I would recommend having it write the bans...)

.staccess - I prefer 644 once I have set up my admins. If I need to set up a new admin later, I simple change to 666 temporarily, let NS write the hashes, then change it back. A little more secure this way IMO, but just a personal decision that I have made.

.ftaccess - in order for NS to write to it, needs to be 666. Thanks for pointing out that we have not explained that properly. We'll get that fixed.

If your server is running PHP as CGI (using PHPSuExec) then the following permissions are applicable.
.htaccess 664
.staccess 644 (when adding/deleting admins or changing passwords you must temporarily change to 664. Change back to 644 after editing)
.ftaccess 664

If your server is running PHP as an Apache module then the following permissions are applicable:
.htaccess 666
.staccess 644 (when adding/deleting admins or changing passwords you must temporarily change to 666. Change back to 644 after editing)
.ftaccess 666

Awesome, thanks for the info, I may upgrade to 2.6 tonight if I can find the time.

I know my server is running apache, so I would assume it is using the apache module, but I am not 100% sure, I guess only my host would know that right? Also, it looks like the code you posted was for machines NOT running as apache module, so it is different code for one running as apache module?

thebaddestass, not sure I am understanding your question as I believe Raven posted permissions for both scenarios?

Hey thanks for the reply.

One quick question before I upgrade NS. The readme says this:

NukeSentinel(tm) requires PHP-Nuke Patched 3.3+.

Since I am running 3.1 should I update to 3.5 before upgrading NS?

You should definitely upgrade to 3.5, as there are many security fixes in there

So I updated to my 7.6 nuke to patched 3.5. The install says if you are patched to 3.1, which I am, then there is no need to run the update files...yet i get this after uploading the files:

There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.

We should be back shortly.

Any ideas?

Check you config.php and make sure your settings are correct. Also, it may just be your server is temporarily down.

You were right, it was my server config file, didn't realize the update had a new one. Thanks.

Ah yes, now I remember why I never updated to 3.5. It strips out all the html stuff.

Now in my messages on homepage, I can't embed music or most basic HTML functions. I remember this in the past and even adding to allowable HTML didn't work in the past. I will work on that.

Plan to update NS tonight to latest version.

Ok, can someone help with the embedding into messages on homepage?

<embed src = "http://www.mydomain.com/downloads/mysong.mp3" autostart = "true" loop = "false"
volume = "50%" height = "60" width = "145">

I have ran this embedded code on my website since day 1 and now that the patches are in place, it doesn't work.

I added this to the config file under allowable HTML:

"embed"=>2

And now it doesn't strip the code, but just shows a box and won't display windows media player as it did in the past, or whatever your default media player shall be.

How can I get my embedded player back working?

The full install kit has an option to Remove NS tables. Do this first. Then install the fresh 2.6.1 tables.



I have a question about the way to remove the NS tables. Where does this option occur, when I run the nsnst.php file? The install doesn't talk much about anything sql wise except for ip2country stuff.
