Howdy!

Im kinda new to Raven. I have installed phpnuke a few times and wanted to play with RavenNuke. So far, I have completed Steps 1 and 2 on a Windows XP(Home) running XAMPP on a local machine. I have edited rnconfig.php by setting $bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck = TRUE;

Now my website hangs and displays the index page as a blank page with this:

ï»¿

my socket_test.php displays this:
TCP/IP Connection
Attempting to create a socket ...
OK.

Attempting to connect to '74.125.xx.xxx' on port '80' ... (ip address displays google)
OK.

Sending HTTP HEAD request ...
OK.

Reading response ...

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\html5\socket_test.php on line 42

I have checked the forums and found this thread but it has been closed for a bit.

I have also googled the script and found this:
Yes, "ï»¿" is the Byte Order Mark (BOM) of the Unicode Standard. Specifically it is the hex bytes EF BB BF, which form the UTF-8 representation of the BOM, misinterpreted as ISO 8859/1 text instead of UTF-8.

Probably what it means is that you are using a text editor that is saving files in UTF-8 with the BOM, when it should be saving without the BOM. It could be PHP files that have the BOM, in which case they'd appear as literal text on your page. Or it could be translated text you pasted into Joomla! edit windows.

The Unicode Consortium's FAQ on the Byte Order Mark is at

Not real sure what it all means, would appreciate your help with this issue.

Thank you,

*side note, on folder permissions, these are not read only, not sure how to set them to the 646/777 for phpnuke and on apache as suggested in the installation.

Well , Linux CHMOD 655 and above can be considered as writeable , ie. the "read only" box unchecked on windows
