admin log/pass denied

New Member Joined: Nov 21, 2004 Posts: 12

Ok, I have an issue. My problem is that hitting the link on my site that tries to access admin.php so that I can login as admin, I receive a prompt menu asking me to type my log/pass. My admin log/pass does not work. I deleted the tables, which I prob shouldn’t have done, and reinstalled them. I looked around for a quick fix in the forums already, tried deleting the sections from the .htaccess file, this did not help. Honestly I do not know what the problem is, early this past week I tried installing a module that horribly conflicted with another already installed module on the site, after re-instating some backed up files, I receive this problem. Is it possible to completely uninstall this program through ftp and phpmyadmin? Let me know what information you need from me, I will be grateful for any advice anyone may have.

You must set your NukeSentinel password BEFORE you activate http auth. You probably did it in reverse. Go into phpMyAdmin and edit the nsnst_config table. Change the HTTP Auth setting to 0 (zero). Then, nuke will let you log in. Goto Sentinel admin and add your NukeSentinel userid/pass. Then, turn HTTP Auth on.

http_auth is already set to 0 (zero)

actualy i noticed that i had an additional .htaccess file in the directory above my nuke directory, i deleated this and was allowed access to the actual admin login page, the security code image does not appear now and when i do type in my information (hitting properties on the security code line will give you the number) i get:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/mainfile.php:2) in /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/auth.php on line 35

which is pretty much directly related to the other problems I have received since this crash in the first place. On the forums and member list screens I get:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/mainfile.php:2) in /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/includes/sessions.php on line 222

and

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/mainfile.php:2) in /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/includes/page_header.php on line 492

coppermine gives me:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/mainfile.php:2) in /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/modules/coppermine/include/functions.inc.php on line 49

and clicking on a link under weblinks gives me:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/mainfile.php:2) in /home/thehourp/public_html/nuke/modules/Web_Links/index.php on line 924

this is quickly becomming a non nukesentinel issue, but if anyone has even a remote idea what i can do about this I would be all ears.

i looked into the auth.php file and found

<?php

instead of

<?php

i deleated the space and i can relog into the site. I still receive the other error messages, but I created my own problem with bad code, hehe, my bad.

I'm not sure where the php.ini file would be.

doing the .htaccess fix gives me a white page - Internal Server Error

adding the line to mainfile.ini has no effect.

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:20 pm

Internal Server Error usually, but not always, means that you have a syntax error in your .htaccess. Do you have anything at all in your .htaccess?

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:21 pm

the .htaccess file works fine when it is blank, when i add that line

PHP_FLAG output_buffering On

it gives me the server error

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:28 pm

If you're sure that you typed the command
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On
correctly and you receive an Internal Server Error, then it appears that your host does not allow you to use .htaccess, in which case you need to contact your host and ask them to turn output buffering on in the php.ini file and then restart the server.

One other thing you can try before calling them is to add this to .htaccess
AllowOverride All
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On

If it still err's out, call them.

thank you for your help in this, i will give them a call this afternoon. One thing i did want to ask about before i did, concerning the .htaccess file was, although I receive the error message by putting in this single line; using the .htaccess file from the gt-nextgen pack has no conflicts, and that is a huge file.

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:49 pm

It could be that they don't allow you to override PHP directives. Run phpinfo() before you call them and verify that output buffering is on or off.

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:49 pm

how do i run phpinfo() ?

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:53 pm

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Save that as info.php, ftp it to your web server and run it.

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:55 pm

output_buffering no value no value

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 2:57 pm

is this something i could change through c panel?

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 3:40 pm

No. .htaccess is the only way. Call your host. There is no security issue involved so they should have it on anyway.

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 3:45 pm

thank you very much for the help, ill give em a call right now.

i am having the same issue where i try to login, and it's not taking my username and password. i checked the http auth and it is set to 0.
here is my .htaccess:

Code:




# -FrontPage-





IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*





<Limit GET POST>


order deny,allow


deny from all


allow from all


</Limit>


<Limit PUT DELETE>


order deny,allow


deny from all


</Limit>


AuthName lothclan.com


AuthUserFile /homepages/33/d97599058/htdocs/lothclan/_vti_pvt/service.pwd


AuthGroupFile /homepages/33/d97599058/htdocs/lothclan/_vti_pvt/service.grp





Options All -Indexes


DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


# -------------------------------------------


<Files .staccess>


  deny from all


</Files>





<Files admin.php>


   <Limit GET POST PUT>


      require valid-user


   </Limit>


   AuthName "Restricted"


   AuthType Basic


   AuthUserFile /.staccess


</Files>





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area


# -------------------------------------------

is the frontpage causing this problem? also, my .staccess file is empty. i have temporarily taken the sentinel info out of .htaccess so i can continue to administrate my site.

hey you know what, the problem had nothing to do with my .htaccess file. orriginaly when i crashed the php structure and tried to reinstall everything, i used an old header.php file to restore with. I had forgotten that with the collapsing block mod (which I had installed after saving the backup) I had a new header.php file. d*** that was a big headache, glad it's over.

my output buffering on the server is set to 0.
i tried adding
AllowOverride All
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On
but then i don't even get prompted for username/password.

i also tried taking the frontpage mess out and tried with only the sentinel info in the .htaccess. didn't work.
