Illegal Access Detected in admin.php after install

I went through all the core edits at least 3 times, seems I have a abberant copy of Php-Nuke 7.5, my mainfile doesn't match any of the core edit files.. however it wasn't hard to infer what was needed to change. Below is just an example of one of them.

Code:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
require_once("../../../config.php");
require_once("../../../db/db.php");
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
require_once("../../config.php");
require_once("../../db/db.php");
} else {
require_once("config.php");
require_once("db/db.php");
/* FOLLOWING TWO LINES ARE DEPRECATED BUT ARE HERE FOR OLD MODULES COMPATIBI
LITY */
/* PLEASE START USING THE NEW SQL ABSTRACTION LAYER. SEE MODULES DOC FOR DET
AILS */
require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");
$dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);
}

I changed to

Code:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
require_once("../../../config.php");
require_once("../../../db/db.php");
require_once("../../../includes/sql_layer.php");
//require_once("../../../includes/ipban.php");
require_once("../../../includes/nukesentinel.php");
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
require_once("../../config.php");
require_once("../../db/db.php");
require_once("../../includes/sql_layer.php");
//require_once("../../includes/ipban.php");
require_once("../../includes/nukesentinel.php");
} else {
require_once("config.php");
require_once("db/db.php");
/* FOLLOWING TWO LINES ARE DEPRECATED BUT ARE HERE FOR OLD MODULES COMPATIBI
LITY */
/* PLEASE START USING THE NEW SQL ABSTRACTION LAYER. SEE MODULES DOC FOR DET
AILS */
require_once("includes/sql_layer.php");
//require_once("includes/ipban.php");
require_once("includes/nukesentinel.php");
$dbi = sql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);
}

I performed the backups, core file edits, and uploads of the additional files and ran the install.. all that went flawlessly. Even remember not to touch the .htaccess or .staccess files yet. I went to log into the admin panel and found that I had a "Illegal Access Detected" warning and only 1/4 of my panel would show up and none of it was accessible. I thrice checked my edits and uploads and cannot find any reason.

If anyone can suggest places for me to look, that would be appreciated.
I have Sentinel up and running on another website and it gave me no problems at all.

Have you searched the forums for Illegal Access Detected? I'm pretty sure we've addressed this before.

Of course, that worked perfectly! Thanks Raven. I had to define the admin page.
