Sentinel PROBLEM !!!

I've applied all the instructions mentioned in README but when I try to enter my site it says "You are using an Invalid IP to access this site!". I tried entering using proxy but in that case, it is a blank page. What can I do ?

Which version of Sentinel are you using?
I assume you are using the latest patches from Chatserv as mentioned in the readme.

Is this on your local PC? If so, comment out this line in includes/nukesentinel.php

Code:

// Invalid ip check
if($nsnst_const['remote_ip']=="none") { die(_AB_INVALIDIP); }

so that it looks like

Code:

// Invalid ip check
//if($nsnst_const['remote_ip']=="none") { die(_AB_INVALIDIP); }

Do the same if it's on your Production site. It just normally only happens on your local testing.

Have applied the above fix and I'm getting a blank page as well can you tell me you got around this?

EDIT: Sorry my mistake it worked perfectly (Helps if you start your server first)

And they click on the link and it takes them to a Page Not Found
I am also seeing this show up in my error log. I did not know what it was until a user reported it today. Do I need to change those lines?

It's your call. People should have IP's and it's always suspicious. Did you refer to the Trouble Shooting section of the HowToInstall Smile

?

this is what i have

Code:

// Invalid ip check
if(isset($bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck) AND $bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck) {;}
//elseif ($nsnst_const['remote_ip']=="none") { die(_AB_INVALIDIP); }

What you should do is leave that code alone altogether and change the config.php option to TRUE. That's why I added that Smile

Okay, I checked out the Troubleshoot section and here is what it says:

Code:

Q] I installed everything but when I try to access my site I get this message: You are using an Invalid IP to access this site!
[A] This normally happens when running the system on your desktop (localhost/127.0.0.1). It is a safety feature to keep people from trying to access your site w/o a valid IP. We have added a setting in config.php named $bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck and set the default value to FALSE. When running on your local machine (or wherever your test site is) you can set the value to TRUE in order to have NukeSentinel(tm) bypass that check. Please note that this should only be used when testing locally and not in a production environment.

But this is happening to registered users, people visiting the site. How does the local machine thing affect them? I checked my error log and I am getting quite a few hits on the troubleshoot link, which tells me folks are seeing the Invalid IP screen. What is the reason it is happening, how can I fix it, and still be secure? Thank you!

This did not work. I am still confused as to what is happening. any1?

montego · Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 6:17 am

I was hoping... Sad

Is there any way to find out if they are using some kind of IP address "protection" software? That is the only thing I can think of. If so, you will have to leave it off or ask them to turn that off when using your site. I just don't know what else it could be.

blith · Client Joined: Jul 18, 2003 Posts: 977

well, they told me that their cable company assigned new IPs and to the best of my knowledge they are not using protection software. Thank you for your help on this montego
