Unable to access modules on home page

I originally asked this question in this thread:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

However, the fix you gave me does not fix it.

Any module I attempt to use, besides the NEWS module, in home, will not work.

I've changed any reference of:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))

to

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']))

and still, I get the bloody "You can't access this file directly..." when I go to the index page.

What can I provide you to help me fix this problem?

Thank you in advance for your help. I do very much appreciate the time and effort everyone puts into this.

Check your main index.php file, in it make sure you have:
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = "modules.php";
and not:
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "modules.php";

Here are the first lines of my root index.php file

require_once("mainfile.php");
$modpath = '';
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = "modules.php";
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT main_module from ".$prefix."_main"));
$name = $row['main_module'];
$home = 1;

Change that to:

Code:

require_once("mainfile.php"); 


$modpath = ''; 


$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = "modules.php";


$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "modules.php";


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT main_module from ".$prefix."_main")); 


$name = $row['main_module']; 


$home = 1;

If the module(s) in question work it means they are still using PHP_SELF and need to be edited.
