Access Denied Admin portion of PHPBB

New Member Joined: Mar 21, 2006 Posts: 13

I used to have access to the admin section of my forums. I'm running 7.8 3.2 and PHPBB 2.07 and have just installed the latest of NukeSentinel_242pl3_70-79. I've checked in PHPMYadmin if I've banned myself, no IP's listed.

I've scoured the sites for help. Can someone point me in the right direction? And I would upgrade my BB, but I have yet to find how.

My thanks in advance.

Are you using an admin account with forums permissions?

Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 7:02 pm

Yes. I am using the God account.

Specifically with forums permissions? Or the superuser?

What happens if you go directly to modules/Forums/admin/

In the Admin Panel? If I click on Forums, I get the message on white "Access Denied" Everything else on the forum works perfectly. I just cannot get to the admin forum screen.

well when you installed sentinel you had to edit the mainfile,chances are thats where it went wrong.

I just compared two Mainfiles - one which works and they have the same code on each page.

well thats not correct,they cant be both the same..
didnt edit your mainfile?

Sorry. I have two nukes that I run and I compared the mainfiles for both of them. One of them I have access to the admin portion of the forum, the other I don't.

But did you did all edits as explained in the install...?
Like it says in folder ...Edits_For_Core_Files

I did. Still can't access the Admin portion of the forums.

Are you sure you are using forums 2.0.7? The correct version number is in the bbconfig table - you may want to upgrade to the latest 2.0.19

I have gone into PHPMYadmin and can only find this in my bbconfig table phpbb2mysql (the cookie_name)

Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:45 pm

And is there somewhere you can point me in order to go from 2.0.7 to 2.0.19?

Fixed!! I found it here:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

I replaced the pagestart with the one that chatserv posted. You guys are AWESOME!!!

After having trouble with a posted message, I decided to Patch with 3.2.
With the error, I requested a restore of my site few days earlier. Now, in admin panel, click on forums results into access denied.
However, the link modules/Forums/admin/admin works

Thanks,
