I logged in admin.php. Then I clicked on forums in Admin Control Panel. It asked me for user and pass. I typed them for admin account only. It keeps appearing. It doesn't let me to log into forums.

That's after I finished installing it.

I tried to log in admin account and normal account. They both don't work for forums.... It works fine for me to get in Nuke Sentinel.

You will need to login through Your_Account user and it must have forums administrator permissions.

That is for normal account. I meant I tried to go in admin.php?op=forums.

It asked me for user and pass. I already logged in admin.php.....

I know that I have to change normal user into admin for forums. But admin.php?op=forums is not the same. When you click on it, it asks you for user and pass.

The forums admin system actually uses phpBB2, which requires a normal Your_Account user.

I tried that. It doesn't work. I tried admin account too. These user and pass won't be accepted to admin.php?op=forums

I downloaded newest version of Raven Nuke and installed it today. I finished working on Nuke Sentinel, donate o-meter, and an announcement in homepage. I was going to click on forums. I was ready to add forums. It doesn't let me to get in.

tourniqu3t,

Are you using a modules/Forums/admin/.htaccess file with Authentication turned on to protect your Forum ACP as I always advise people to do? Smile

Yeah I remember that path from instruction. I added two paths. But I finally solved it after you mentioned that file. I removed one line.

It was

AuthUserFile /home/username/public_html/foldername/modules/Donations/config.php

That's why it didn't let me to access forums in admin control panel.
