Cant access nothing as Admin, only see the Admin Page

Worker Joined: Oct 22, 2005 Posts: 201

Hey Guys,

I tried to update my old database to raven 2.5, I thought I made it but now I have something strange:

I go to root/admin.php do login, evetyhing is good...

I see the admin panel with all the icons, once I click something I am promoted to login again.. over and over...

Another problem is that when I try to access a module page I am getting: "Sorry, this Module isn't active!"

What can be the problem?

Thanks

"Sorry, this Module isn't active!" this means because you update your database some of your modules became Inactive.

Backup .htaccess to your computer. Try to enter to admin again. If you can't then u must Change your password through phpMyAdmin. I'm very sure you will find your answer if you use the search tool. Let us know

i think you miss undestood me, i am using all original files from the raven 2.5 pack.
I took my old database with my data and trying to update it so it will work with the current 2.5 version.

I know what my admin pass is.. the problem is as follow: i am able to login as admin and see the admin panel but once i click on something, lets say the news icon, i am being redirected to login again... its like the session or cookie are getting lost.

another problem is that all modules appear to be not active even thought in nuke_modules it has 1 in the 'active' coloum,

please advise,

Thanks

What version was the database from?

Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 7:33 am

I think 7.6

Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 7:40 am

Phpnuke 7.6 database is a lot different from RavenNuke 2.5. I am not sure of simple way to get from 7.6 to RN 2.5. Hopefully someone else has had experience doing this and can give you advise.

This behavior sounds like DB problems?

Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 8:38 am

You may want to try using this:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

You will need to install a brand new RavenNuke 2.5 database (I would just use XAMPP or WAMP locally on your PC). Then, use the tool to compare your DB structures between what you have now and the fresh install.

While this will help you identify the differences and even generate the SQL statements to bring your DB in line with the RN required one, there could be some data issues... but very difficult to determine what those might be. There may not be any, so I would start with the structure comparison.

The users, authors and session tables in RN are different than nuke 7.6. I would assume that is why you are having issues. You could compare the tables from a 2.5 install to what you have and see where you might need to modify them.

Is the diffrence tool provided with the raven 2.5 not good?

may i start with it?

in msqldiff the original raven 2.5 is source or target DB?

Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 3:02 pm

just installed fresh raven nuke and I am getting the same behavior with the original files and DB...

what am I missing?

using uniserver 8.7.3
PHP version Version 5.4.11

installed raven as subdomain.. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

It could be the php 5.4. Can you downgrade to 5.3? If not, turn on error reporting and see what errors are being generated. This link may help [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

already found this post, I have made the changes... but left with this behavior..

had the same "Warning: ob_start():" error...

I have updated the code to what Palbin published (last post), now ravenuke is working.. but I am having those bugs...

please advise,

currently error reporting is ON, no bugs are shown.. (also true in display_errors).

That does sound weird. One last idea. Have you tried using other browsers? I have never heard of this issue before, so I am just shooting in the dark here. I would assume it is not an issue with running a WAMP server as many people have tested RN on WAMP localhosts. Is this a live server or just a local testing server?

Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 3:58 pm

tried with all major browsers, chrome, firefox, IE....

same behavior....

just downgraded to php 5.3, comment out Palbin code and everything is working good...

I think Palbin doesn't fix the problem for 5.4...

Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 5:38 pm

if they have zlib compression enabled, that could be causing this error. Palbin, please come back we need u. Very Happy

small quastion:

does SEO DH have admin panel?

all I can see is SEO button in the menu...

I think the overides are not working as it should... ex: in forum post im getting the title of the forum name and not topic name..

Thanks,

Here is a Users Guide to nukeSEO DH [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Also, I have been testing RavenNuke 2.5 on PHP 5.4.7 and have not been able to duplicate your issue. I think it may be due to an addon module or theme that is relying on Magic Quotes which has been removed in php 5.4

nuken thanks, will review this and update.

It might not be working correctly as im modifying raven nuke to work with charset utf-8.. (very important these days..)

updating all string function to mb_ ones.

As for the php 5.4 i used all default theme and modules, nothing extra. also ran pre environment checks.. all was correct.

Thanks,

I have modified my RN25 completely to work with the utf-8 charset and i haven't problems with SEO DH. It works fine. I think you have made some errors while modifying your code.

neralex, wow! this can save me tons of work.. (you have only latin letters? (English) or special languages like Hebrew, Spanish etc..?)

can you please share what you have changed and where?

Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:09 am

I'm using a lot of german special chars in my pages or some special chars in the id3 tags of the stream-titles. (ö,ä,ü,ß etc.) You are right, its a massive work, because you must change a lot of files and strings. RN25 can not provide a full utf-8 support. Here is the best you wait on RN30. This release should provide this charset. The forum files are the biggest work. To share all changes is not possible, because i have made a lot of own changes in all sections. To rebuild it on the core status of RN25 needs a lot of time and i'm working on other projects, too. So i don't have the time for that.

The best suggestion is the using of htmlspecialchars and htmlspecialchars_decode to read and write database entries. Try a look in the modules of the RN25 core package. A lot of modules are prepared for utf-8. Compare the strings and try to find your own way to solve it in RN25.

maybe this can help you to find the right way:

But besides of the charset changes i can say, i don't have made changes for SEO DH. I have only changed the strings to save the special chars without html code in the database. ('löschen' instead of 'löschen'). I believe SEO DH is using an entities_encode to push out the SEO titles and descriptions and this works for a page with utf-8, too.

Important is, you are using the utf-8 charset and a utf-8 database. A mix with a latin database will not work.

any ETA for RN30?

Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2013 6:23 am

The is no ETA as of yet. Development is very active on 3.0, but the amount of changes being made in this release will require a lot testing to ensure proper functionality. As soon as an estimated release date is feasible, we will announce it.
