Firefox doesn't recognize phpnuke

christianb · Posted: Sun May 15, 2005 7:03 pm

I'm almost 100% sure it has to do with mainfile.php - I uploaded the 7.6 version and there was activity with firefox, but with the patched version (aka 7.7) it was blank - nothing.

I found the offending code!!! Very Happy

* Pats self on back *

In the patched 7.7 version, this code stopped firefox from seeing my website (why I've not figured out YET)

Code:

if ($phpver < '4.1.0') {
$_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
}
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
   ob_end_clean();
   ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
   if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
      $do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
      ob_start(array('ob_gzhandler',5));
      ob_implicit_flush(0);
      header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
   }
}
}

The code I used from 7.6 is this:

Code:

if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
   $do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
   ob_start();
   ob_implicit_flush(0);
   //header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}

The resulting code looks like this:

Code:

$phpver = phpversion();
//if ($phpver < '4.1.0') {
// $_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
// $_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
// $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
//}
//if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],'compatible')) {
// if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
//    ob_end_clean();
//    ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
// }
//} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
// if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
//    if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
//       $do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
//       ob_start(array('ob_gzhandler',5));
//       ob_implicit_flush(0);
//       header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
//    }
// }
//}
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
   $do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
   ob_start();
   ob_implicit_flush(0);
   //header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}

Now firefox works Very Happy

Make a copy of mainfile.php and in one of them edit the code you commented out to:

Code:

if ($phpver < '4.1.0') {
$_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
}
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
//header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}

To see if it will work for you in firefox, the weird part is it works for me in firefox and IE but i guess server and browser settings might affect how and if it works for people, either way let me know what happens with what i suggested above.

it does work replacing the commented out with what you typed.

chatserv · Posted: Sun May 15, 2005 8:15 pm

Interesting, guess i will have to find out why it works for some and not for others. Out of curiousity, what version of Firefox are you using?

christianb · Posted: Sun May 15, 2005 8:22 pm

1.0.3 - I thought about that too. I almost uninstalled it and installed an earlier version to see if that was the case.

I placed the 7.7pl3 code in my 6.9 mainfile.php and it works w/o any problem. Being too lazy to compare the two, what did you modify so it worked in his?

Sounds like you could use this nifty little freeware program: ExamDiff File Comparison Tool

I changed:

Code:

ob_start(array('ob_gzhandler',5));

to:

Code:

ob_start();

and commented out the header line like Nuke has it.

Thanks!

My drives got wiped yesterday, thanks to a nasty Trojan. I lost all my downloads from the last 5 years, or so...

CurtisH · Posted: Mon May 16, 2005 6:08 pm

You use that program too? Man I love it! I just need to get off my rear and go ahead and by the pro version so I can edit too. *LOL*

Raven · Posted: Mon May 16, 2005 6:22 pm

A couple other excellent ones. Wish there was an objective comparison of the 3 metioned here. I settled on Compare and Merge (so far, anyway)

Beyond Compare 2 is still my fave!

My favorite, for the last year or two, has been 'Visual Comparer', but I'm always willing to try something new...

The problem is, they don't offer the freeware beta version any more, and I lost my downloads, so if I decide to go that route again, I'll have to buy it.

No big deal, I suppose, but it always makes me feel funny to buy software when 'we' give our's away for free, you know?

i'm gonna recover this issue, i made that change on mainfile.php and i noticed that know... when opening the page the urls until i click somewhere else or refresh the page, the urls show the PHPSESSID...

any solution to this one, though it's only on the firs opening, when clicking in some link the urls don't show the ID anymore.

Hi,

with ob_start(array('ob_gzhandler',5)); and //header('Content-Encoding: gzip'); I get a warning PHP Warning: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-Rewriter' ?

If I do additional ob_start(); this warning has gone.

Is this a combination I should use ?
(ob_start(); and //header('Content-Encoding: gzip') Wink

Are you using the latest version of NukeSentinel?
