Hello all,
I have a relatively annoying problem with my PN site (0.7.2.6-1 Phoenix).
There are scattered links within my Admin section which when clicked used
to deliver deliver blank pages, but now I get authorization errors. I’m
hoping you folks can give me some general guidelines for beginning to
troubleshooting this problem.
Examples of links which result in authorization error pages with the error
message below:
3rd Pary Mods:
/index.php?module=weather&type=admin
Not authorised to access Weather module
/index.php?module=PostWrap&type=admin
Not authorized to modify settings!
Core Mods:
/index.php?module=Blocks&type=admin
Not authorized to carry out operation on blocks
/index.php?module=Censor&type=admin
Not authorised to access the Censor Module
/index.php?module=Modules&type=admin
Not authorised to access Modules module
Also, my Web_Links module now produces blank pages:
http://wardamntailgate.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=
Web_Links&file=index&req=visit&lid=10
(Note: I've left any authid codes off the example paths above)
I first noticed this problem most recently when trying to regenerate my
modules (Yikes!). What's odd is that only a handful of links to different
functions in any given module deliver these authorization errors while they
used to return blank (empty) html pages.
While the site is perfectly usable from the end user’s perspective, I don't
want this to get any worse from the Admin's perspective. I'm betting this
is going to get worse before it gets better!
I’ve searched and seen scattered mentions of this in different forum, but
I’ve not seen any common threads to help me troubleshoot this.
Oh, here’s some basic info on the site environment:
CMS Version 0.7.2.6-1 Phoenix
url http://www.wardamntailgate.com/
WebServer - Apache/1.3.28 (Unix)
Operating system - Linux
Kernel version - 2.4.26-grsecvx
Apache version - 1.3.31 (Unix)
PERL version - 5.8.1
PHP version 4.3.8
MySQL version - 4.0.20-standard
cPanel Build - 9.4.1-RELEASE 64
Theme cPanel X - v2.3.0
Again, any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

Using the Censor module as an example, go to your cPanel, then to MySQL
DBs. Click on phpMyAdmin and then go to your database for this site.
Scroll till you see the Modules table on left menu, click that.
On left window look for browse up top and click that.
Look for pn_name and click that. (to sort tables names)
Find the Censor table, and click the little icon that looks like a piece of
paper with a pen on it, (edit button) click that.
Now look for these two things.
pn_admin_capable
&
pn_state
Are they set to 1 and 3 respectively?
(Just guessing here at what it might be)
What theme are you using?

Infopro,
I checked and yes, it is set to 1 and 3. Which brings up a good point.
Are there any other details that I could check within the database that you
know of?
Thanks!

I'm sure there is, I recall this problem a long while back with some
people. I just don't recall the bottom line on what the fix was. What I
suggested above was one of the many I think.
I suggest you back up, and then upgrade to the latest 7.2.6 whatever that
is.

I lost track of all the stupid versioning and name changes over there, so
not sure if this is the latest or not. (pre xan-nitemare)
