Can someone please advice me to a good solution, as i have racked my brains for several weeks now with no feasible outcome.
Whenever i access

yes i see the sentinal CGIAuth login box, of which i then enter my login credentials, but after that no admin login page shows.
All that shows is a admin page, showing a few icons that display under modules administration, but with no actual admin functions or icons, then when i do try and click one of the icons i do see, i get blocked out my website.
Since i activated CGIAuth, my login page does not display and neither can i get access to my admin.
Just to mention, this has nothing to do with the rest of the RN website, as when i remove nuke sentinal, everything works again, but when i reinstall it, i get the above complications, where there's no login page and seems like my admin is completely blocked from entering.
If i leave NS installed, but comment out the CGIAuth part in my .htaccess file, i still have the same issue of not seeing my admin login page.
I really can't understand why sentinal is behaving in this way, i am starting to think i might not be able to use sentinal, but that just opens my website to be a security hazard.

I´m not sure whats your real problem because with a standard RavenNuke installation this works without any issues and you would not need to ask the same question again and again.
I could take a quick look but I ´m very busy at the moment and therefore I would suggest ask Raven (or some of the other moderators) via PM if he is willing to help you with this.
Since i wrote the above topic, i have done a manual file analysis, and beyond belief it seems my admin file hadn't uploaded properly, or at least something went wrong, with my admin file.
As i have now reuploaded the admin.php file, after noticing file size were different from that in my website root, and everything now works properly.
STRANGE, but i am so glad to have solved this myself.
I'm sorry for asking over and over again, it's just i really couldn't find the problem, and for some reason neither did 3 other people i had look into this.
For you and others who might experience similar issues, if you have problems with CGI authentication, you can rename .htaccess temporarily to bypass it. That would have pointed you in the right direction by eliminating that as a possibility.
Also, you can check your site error log (sometimes stored in the root directory) to see that there was a parsing error in the admin.php script.
In reality of my topic, kguske neither worked for me or those i had look into this.
I'm not claiming to be novice at this, but through ambition and learning, i think i have a good sufficient knowledge of the RN website and nuke modules in general, and the above you mention i did not eliminate these during trying to solve the problem.
Nothing showed in the error logs.
I had # the CGIAuth coding in .htaccess, i had renamed my .htaccess, and i even removed it altogether, but nothing solved this issue.
I suggest for anyone else who does happen to come across an issue like this, make sure every file has transferred properly, it could just maybe, have been a ftp transfer problem at the time.
STRANGE HAPPENINGS, STRANGE CONSEQUENCES.

And for anyone else thinking about security, encrypting the password in your admin table, using function encrypt, seems to work properly for me, its maybe worth doing this.
