PHPNuke Forums Problem

New Member Joined: Sep 09, 2006 Posts: 9

I am having a problem with my site. I installed PHPNuke 7.9 and patched it to 3.3. It has its own database and is installed on a sub domain inside of its own folder. This seems to happen only when it is in its own folder. Below is the link to my site and the error message recieved.

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sql_logout() (previously declared in /home/***/public_html/nuke-themes/nuke/includes/sql_layer.php:128) in /home/***/public_html/includes/sql_layer.php on line 33

It almost looks like you have two /includes directories: one appears to be under /nuke and the other up at a higher level under /public_html. If you want to put your entire system under /public_html/nuke then you've got to take care not to FTP it to two places and if you have old versions lying around, well: back them up and get rid of them from your server.

It's also strange that this problem only seems to happen with forums. But you really need to look at your directory structure first and make sure that's right.

When i created the sub domain it created the folder nuke-themes in my main directory and this is where i have that installation installed. My main website [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] is installed in the public_html. As far as I am aware, my directory is the way it is supposed to be. My main site is Nuke Evolution and the one ine the nuke-themes/nuke/ directory is just regular phphnuke.

Yeah, you've got two distro's overlapping it looks like.

bigbuck08, make sure within your preferences you have the right full path to your installation that is in a subdirectory. I don't understand why it has placed this under yet another subdirectory? Why didn't the install place this at the root of your subdomain.

In addition, you may have to tweak the Forum Admin --> Configuration domain reference too (just remember that it is without the "http://" in front there).

The path for the preferences is [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
I also changed it in the forums to nuke-themes.unique-gfx.com/nuke-themes/nuke/.
Whenever you create a sub domain it creates a folder for that sub domain inside of your main directory. As I am going to be having three different install of nuke, it would be impossible to have them setup in the root of the sub domain. That is why I installed it in the folder nuke/. It works fine when it is installed in the root of the sub domain, it messes up when I move it to its own folder.

I know that this works in RavenNuke, but I am not sure about standard 7.9 nuke. I suspect that you cannot make three separate subdomains because of a limit on the number of subdomains for your account?

The only other thing that I can think of is the NukeSentinel "Force URL" feature, which I would turn off, but I am not even sure that you are using NS.

I would make absolutely certain that all your files were uploaded properly. You may even give it another try with a good FTP client such as FileZilla (free from sourceforge.net).

I have unlimited sub domains, but the three installs will be under one domain but each will have its own folder. nuke will be for PHPNuke, platinum, for Nuke Platinum, and evolution for Nuke Evolution. You are correct, I am using NS. I will turn that off if it isnt already and give it another try. I use SmartFTP as my FTP client.

Hopefully NS was causing it, otherwise, you may need to have three separate subdomains rather than trying to use a subdirectory (since you say that it runs fine within the root of a subdomain).

Sorry for the delay in replying, I was gone working on a house. NS isnt the cause.

It still looks to me like your paths are wrong.
If your main domain is [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] and your nuke is installed in a sub-domain called nuke-themes then the correct path should be; [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2007 5:22 pm

Correct. And the path to where my Nuke is installed is [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] The paths are correct.

So you have changed them from one of your previous posts which said

?
Sorry to appear dim but I'm just trying to make sure we are on the same wavelength.

That is my fault. The path is correct on my site, i just wrote it wrong on here. It is what I said the second time. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Then the above is not correct, if this is in fact still in your preferences and forums config.

It would have to be:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
nuke-themes.unique-gfx.com/nuke/

respectively.

I just cannot see why this is not working.

I dont understand it either. I know it is possible to install multiple installations of Nuke. The thing is, it has its own database and in its own folder to prevent things like this happening. I double checked and the paths are correct in both the forums and preferences as you had stated Montego.

After working on it some more, i am pretty sure it is a bug in standard phpnuke 7.9. Im working on running a test right now to see if I am correct.
