This isn't really a technical problem, due to the fact i don't use PHPnuke anymore because it doesn't give you much freedom, I don't know how to help you with problems dealing with language etc etc. This happened to me once with YabbSE and I had to reinstall it, so your best bet will be delete everything and installing a fresh copy of phpNuke.

Ok, I tried a new install, and it still gave me all of those errors.
Go to http://huntedhosting.ath.cx to see what errors I am getting.
I imported the nuke.sql in phpMyAdmin and it worked, but I just get all those errors. All of them are in mainfile.php

I've tried it on two computers. Downloaded it a few times, each time same thing happens

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\db\db.php on line 88

There seems to be a problem there.

there is something about that earlier in the topic, but with my problem, i have reinstalled it 4 times now, and it just does the same thing. help would be appreciated!

I've even downloaded a modified version from http://nukecops.com and I still got a page full of errors. Till I get PhpNuke, I am going to have to settle with PostNuke.

Someone, I need help. Why am I getting these errors?
They are all in mainfile.php and there are like a hundred of them.
I don't like PostNuke that much. PhpNuke does not even provide an installer... or does it and I am not seeing it.

Well I get all installed OK, SQL ran in OK (after changing to #--) but then i get loads of errors, then some graphics and loads more errors. Here they are at the start of the page...

Anyone got any ideas what I have missed out, and yes the globals thing is ON.

I too just got the latest BetaNC nuke cops version workign with this tutorial.

Awesome software, the tutorials really make this software work as it should and on the xitami issue it sucks big time, too slow too cumbersome and it aint as half as flexible.

Peace

I have it installed and working fine.

So i decided to test adding a new user.

THIS is teh error message I got,

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\phpnuke\modules\Your_Account\index.php on line 146

Hmm, i can't send an email - where are the settings ? I looked in the administrator preferences and at the bottom is the pop3 server. My phpNuke is a local PC on my network that i am allowing a few friends to access via a URL I am giving them.

How do i set up an alias just to load up the forus rather than the who pp-nuke thingy ?

aprelium · - Joined: 22 Mar 2002 Posts: 6800

zace,

The SMTP settings are in the php.ini file. Search for SMTP in the PHP section of this forum for more information.

Thanks for your help - sort of got it working - as long as we email people on demon accounts then the email arrioves, but not to hotmail or other - most odd.

Anyway next conundrum, and this one is really annoying me.

I have my server running on 10.1.1.12. Port 80 maps from my external ip adress to my server. All works well from outside, people can view the site, etc

HOW can i change my internal network to work correctly as i cannot access my own external ipaddress from inside ?
My main machine is 10.1.1.21
I presume i have to add an entry into my HOSTS to allow me to check the IP address out from outside ? But it doesnt work.
I have entered 10.1.1.12 123.4.5.6 (where 123.4.5.6 is my external ip address)

All I want (initially) is to get a forums screen up. How do i do this please?

the guide was easy to follow, but i do have one thing, and it doesnt seem like anyone else is having this probelem, when i login after making admin, anything in the admin panel takes me back to the login page, ive posted on nukecops and phpnuke but no replys and most people just saying "cookies" with out reading my post..

ive cleared cookies many times, nothings restricting them,

---------------
whats posted on nuke cops
---------------
http://nukecops.com/postitle25836-0-0-.html

anyone having any idea's this would be day 3.

Although I hate to say this, I think the only plausable explination would in fact be cookies. I suggest trying a new web browser like Mozilla (www.mozilla.org).

I get these errors when I try to run admin.php:

---

Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\admin.php on line 14

Notice: ob_end_clean(): failed to delete buffer. No buffer to delete. in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\mainfile.php on line 18

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\config.php on line 111

---

I have PHP installed correctly, and I'm not too sure about MySQL. When I run winmysqladmin.exe it says,

"Not found"

But then goes on to list my ODBC DLL files and locations. Have I done something wrong?

global_variables is On...

Those are just notices. Does everything operate properly?

this is not really a nuke question but i thougt to try anyway..

ive downloaded a new module for a photoalbum
like this one http://www.4n-community.de/modules.php?name=Album

installation went well... but when i tried to upload the photo's i got a permission error..
i'm using win2000
all people i asked how to solve this, said:
go to the properties of the file or map and set everyone to full control
i tried this but it doesnt seem to work..

is there a way to chmod just like in unix under windows?
ps sorry for my bad english

No, you can't CHMOD with Windows. What exactly is the permission error?

permission is missing, the file was too large or their server settings are not correct. (no php-errors)

is there some kind off option in the abyss console that i have to change maybe..? or am i asking stupid questions?

Change the settings in your php.ini to display errors.

Your not asking stupid questions and their is no
need to change your php.ini file , open the php
file thats supposed to show the error and add this
piece of code at the top of the script after <?php

iNaNimAtE · Posted: Sat May 08, 2004 7:54 pm Post subject:

It would be a lot easier to change php.ini, because PHP-Nuke has a lot of files calling to other files. If you don't want the hassle of adding that line of code to every single one of those files (not to mention the hassle of finding exactly what files you need to change), I would suggest just changing the one line in php.ini.

Not if you put it in mainfile.php. All other files call upon it to execute properly.
But, YES, it would be better to change your php.ini file. Only because when it's
time to upgrade to a newer version, the old file will be overwritten and you might
forget about the added lines.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum\html\db\db.php on line 88

You said in this forum that it means the forum index can't connect to the database, and that sounds good, but how the heck can I fix this???

I installed on Windows 2000

PhpNuke: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum
MySql: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql
PhpMyAdmin: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\scripts\PhpMyAdmin

this should be fine since I checked the relative paths...

iNaNimAtE · Posted: Sun May 09, 2004 6:54 pm Post subject:

Check your "config.php" file aroud line 35 or so and make sure you configured your database right.

If you haven't changed your username/password, then:
Database: localhost
Username: root
Password: [leave blank]

yet not working...
Instead of filling it just with NUKE should I change the $dbname with the DB path, since it's in a different folder as shown above?

iNaNimAtE · Posted: Sun May 09, 2004 8:27 pm Post subject:

Have you created a new database for phpNuke? If you haven't, you need to open phpMyAdmin and create a new database called "nuke," and then leave $dbname set at "nuke."

[quote="ZheCk"]Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum\html\db\db.php on line 88

I installed on Windows 2000

PhpNuke: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum
MySql: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql
PhpMyAdmin: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\scripts\PhpMyAdmin
Nuke Folder: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum\sql\nuke.sql
DataBase Folder: C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql\data\nuke

I don't have privileges to create new database, but browsing for nuke.sql I arrive to this point:
Your SQL-query has been executed successfully :
File content has been added. (334 Instructions)

I then go to http://localhost/Forum/html with Web Browser and the error is always the same...

iNaNimAtE · Posted: Mon May 10, 2004 5:31 am Post subject:

Well to install nuke.sql, you must be doing it in a database. Which database are you doing it on?

I tried 2 solutions:
1) Created in the existent MySql database.
2) Created an empty folder called nuke, so that PhpMyAdmin should see a new empty database, an then with BROWSE button added the
C:\Programmi\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum\sql\nuke.sql
to fill it. Now I see the nuke database on PhpMyAdmin, but nontheless the error keeps still!

DATABASE IS IN ..\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql
PHPMYADMIN IS IN ..\Abyss Web Server\scripts\PhpMyAdmin
HTML IS IN ..\Abyss Web Server\htdocs
PHPNUKE index IS IN ..\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Forum\html

???
I'm at a loss!

MoreOver:
Why ever PhpMyAdmin does currently work on MySql and PhpNuke can't even see it (if that's why I'm getting that error)?
And why PhpMyAdmin is not telling me that I didn't set a supervisor account to manage the database, and it won't allow mw to?

I installed e107 and that seems to work...
I'll try to customize that, in order not to bother you too much!
thanks guys!

iNaNimAtE · Posted: Tue May 11, 2004 12:14 am Post subject:

You say you don't have privileges to make a new databse, but isn't this your computer?

Anyway, good luck with e107. Sorry PHP-Nuke didn't work.
