Nice Try!!

I've gone through the installation with no issues and everything is successful, the tables are created in the DB, but when I get to this point.
Configure Base RavenNuke(tm)
Most settings have already been pre-configured in the installation process so far. There are just a few more settings that you may want to configure at this time. It is suggested that you open up another browser session and point your address bar to

When I try the URL on my machine I get a blank page with the message "Nice Try!!", I have tried various pages with the same message.
I am running a Windows, IE7, MySQL, PHP setup on the localhost.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Make sure your admin username has no special characters. It should only be alphanumeric

I don't have any special characters in my admin usename or password. Every PHP file I try and go to just gives me the same, blank page with the message "Nice Try!!"

I suspect this may be to do with the setup of your local server installation. What are you using to run your localhost?

remove your ip address from nuke_banned_ip

actually more likely something to do with this...

File: includes/ipban.php

Code:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if(!ereg('^([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})$', $ip)) die('Nice try!!');

Thanks, this sorted the issue.
The nuke_banned_ip is blank, but the code was the issue.

change it to this

Code:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo $ip;
//if(!ereg('^([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})$', $ip)) die('Nice try!!');

and let me know what is displays....

should be at the top left hand side of your site.

sotas · New Member Joined: Mar 22, 2009 Posts: 4

All it displays is ::1

mmm ok, has to be something to do with your setup, not sure what though.

Hello,

I'm having the same issue. After the testy1 change to ipban.php, I get this.

::1

is this a local setup.
Are you using Apache, mysql
Anything else you can tell me that may be out of the ordinary (sounds vague because it is lol)?

Im wondering if it has something to do with ipv6 address's

e.g.

Quote:

* ::1/128 — the loopback address is a unicast localhost address. If an application in a host sends packets to this address, the IPv6 stack will loop these packets back on the same virtual interface (corresponding to 127.0.0.1 in IPv4).
* fe80::/10 — The link-local prefix specifies that the address is only valid in the scope of a given local link. This is analogous to the Autoconfiguration IP addresses 169.254.0.0/16 in IPv4.

Local setup MAMP

I had a clone site running locally to switch to Ravenuke. Got stuck at the same spot the OP did.

mmmm mamp is mac i think?

does mac use ipv6 network protocol?

it is definitely a hardware based issue by the sound of it.

@sotas, are you using mac? or which operating system are you on?

I also came across this for future reference

Code:

/*** try to validate as IPV6 address ***/
if(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV6) === FALSE)
{
echo "$ip is not a valid IP";
}
else
{
echo "$ip is valid";
}

EDIT: Just as note filter_var is only available since php version 5.2.3

Looks like Mac does by default.

In windows you can revert back to ipv4 by uninstalling ipv6, maybe mac has a similar setup?

Mac's may also have a hosts file like windows where you might be able to map ::1 to 127.0.0.1

This issue will need discussion by the dev's as I feel it could become a significant problem in the long run.

testy1, if you haven't submitted an issue for the team yet, would you please do so? I believe you have the permission level to do so. Thanks!

hamster · Hangin' Around Joined: Mar 19, 2009 Posts: 42

I'd like to see what the fix is for this.

ok this got me interested :(

If someone wants to try this and let me know if it works alright it would be appreciated.Someone with an interment knowledge of reg could probably enhance this.

Replace the code in ipban.php file with this

Code:

if ( stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), "ipban.php") ) {

}

global $prefix, $db;
$bIPver = false;
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ( ereg('^([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})$', $ip) ) {

$bIPver = true;
} elseif ( ereg("^::[1]{1}$", $ip) ) {
$bIPver = true;
}

$numrow = $db->sql_numrows( $db->sql_query("SELECT id FROM " . $prefix . "_banned_ip WHERE ip_address='$ip'") );
if ( $numrow != 0 ) {
echo " <center><img src='images/admin/ipban.gif' /> You have been banned by the administrator</center>";
die();
}

if ( $bIPver == true ) {
$ip_class = explode( ".", $ip );
$ip = "$ip_class[0].$ip_class[1].$ip_class[2].*";
list( $ip_address ) = $db->sql_fetchrow( $db->sql_query("SELECT ip_address FROM " . $prefix . "_banned_ip WHERE ip_address='$ip'") );
$ip_class_banned = explode( ".", $ip_address );
if ( isset($ip_class_banned[3]) && $ip_class_banned[3] == "*" ) { // "isset" is faster than "count"
if ( $ip_class[0] == $ip_class_banned[0] && $ip_class[1] == $ip_class_banned[1] && $ip_class[2] == $ip_class_banned[2] ) {

die();
}
}
} else {
die( 'Nice try!!' );
}

?>

Well, it's seems to be moving in the right direction.

I went through the whole INSTALLATION/setup.php again. Got to the
end, it said all is good, go to admin.php.

But the page is completely blank.

If you are having invalid ip problems on local installations open rnconfig.php and set $bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck to true.

He should of been shown the block page if it was for invalid ip, I would assume there is another check somewhere in admin.php which has flagged his ip as invalid again.

is it only the admin page or all pages that are blank.Turn on error reporting as well just to check.

hamster · Hangin' Around Joined: Mar 19, 2009 Posts: 42

They are all blank, or it says, the page is not found on the server.

Setting that to "true" didn't do it.

it is only your local pc that is having issues all hosts online will not be a problem.

I assume mac have ipv6 by default as do windows vista now, so it is something that will have to be looked into as most o/s's will be that way now I suppose.But untill then I would revert your o/s back to ipv4, it is a simple process in windows vista and I assume mac are the same.
