Initial Login Problem...

Hello All!

I installed the latest version of Raven PHP-Nuke, and the setup proceeded without any problems. However when I go to log in the first time to the admin panel it just says "Begone" . I am absolutely sure that I am using the username / password that I setup during the install. I am also sure that I am entering the security image correctly. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The only thing I can think of is maybe the username that I set up has invalid characters? It was ".:SL:.Black.September" .

Also, is there anyway to get rid of all of the "Security Code" boxes. They are highly annoying.

Thanks,

Richard R.

From admin.php:

Code:

if (isset($aid) && (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]',trim($aid)))) {
die('Begone');
}

Which states, "if you see any character other than A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore or hyphen, kill the script and print to screen "Begone".

Use phpMyAdmin to edit your admin name in the authors table, or temporarily disable the code above, or edit the regex to allow periods and colons. I'd recommend the first option. = )

Check config.php for $gfx_chk and rn_config for your settings.
$gfx_chk = 0; no check isn´t really recommended.

I definitely need to allow periods and colons in user names.

So...

Code:

if (isset($aid) && (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]',trim($aid)))) {
die('Begone');
}

Would become...

Code:

if (isset($aid) && (ereg('[^a-zA-Z0-9_-.:]',trim($aid)))) {
die('Begone');
}

?

Additionally,

It seems like this would just remove the check, but the image block would still exist on the login area? If I am correct is there a way to remove it entirely?

Sorry if this has sort of evolved past the intent of this particular forum.
