Post subject:  Changing location adminlog is written to
I am working on my site and everything works like a charm, thanks for a great script!

I have created a subfolder in the main one and I managed to also get these protected by changing the header and footer parts from

include_once ("slogin_lib.inc.php");
include_once ("header.inc.php");

to

include_once ("../slogin_lib.inc.php");
include_once ("../header.inc.php");

Then found the userlogin errored for those pages and made the .txt file locations where the passes are stored have the ../ thing as well. All works fine :)

I have seen one thing happen though, and that is the adminlog. The file created: slog_200411_log.txt

It is now also appearing in my subfolder, and I want it in the main folder only (or not even see it being created at all, that will be fine with me too).

I have searched, but I couldn't find the spot in the script where I can put my magical ../ thingamajig.


Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

And of course the main folder's login then stopped working. Urgh *laughs* I changed the handy ../ things to /var/www/html/etcetera and now it works again.


So, the question now is: where do I put my /var/www/html/etc line for the slog_200411_log.txt to appear in only the main folder :)

Three's the charm, they say. :)

I just looked at my logs and now that I see that not only the admin is logged, which I thought happened, but all the users.

Scratch what I said in the quote. I want them to stay.

Hi. Sorry for this late response. :oops:

The script was not really intended for big sites with lot of subdirectories, that's why you are having all these problems.

But don't worry, it can be fixed easily. :)

Open the slogin_lib.inc.php file and add the following code around line 50 (after the definition of the slogin_usehashes variable):

Code:
// Fix the paths.
if (!isset ($slogin_path)) {
  $slogin_path = "";
}
$slogin_userstxt = $slogin_path . $slogin_userstxt;
$slogin_altuser = $slogin_path . $slogin_altuser;


And around line 64 substitute the definition of the constant SLOGIN_LOG_FILE with this:
Code:
define ("SLOGIN_LOG_FILE", $slogin_path . SLOGIN_LOG_PREFIX . fslogin_logprefix() . SLOGIN_LOG_SUFFIX . ".txt");


Now, in all your pages in the main directory, you must change the include_once lines with this:
Code:
$slogin_path = "./";
include_once ($slogin_path . "/slogin_lib.inc.php");
include_once ($slogin_path . "/header.inc.php");


and at the end:
Code:
include_once ($slogin_path . "footer.inc.php");


For the pages in subdirectories (subfolders) do the same, but use the slogin_path like this:
Code:
$slogin_path = "../";


If you have deeper directories, use this:
Code:
$slogin_path = "../../";


And so on.


That should fix all your problems and will let you use relative paths (not the /var/www/html...).


Let me know how it worked, Eadwine.

Mario A. Valdez-Ramirez.

Post subject:  Re: Protecting pages in subdirectories...
Thanks a bundle for helping me out!


Well, I have changed everything per instructions, (I hope!) and thank goodness I only have:

-maindirectory
--subdirectory 1
--subdirectory 2

and no:

---subdirectories


So, to recap, I have this:

Code:
$slogin_path = "./";
include_once ($slogin_path . "/slogin_lib.inc.php");
include_once ($slogin_path . "/header.inc.php");

in the main directory headers.



Both subdirectory 1 and 2 have now got this:

Code:
$slogin_path = "../";
include_once ($slogin_path . "/slogin_lib.inc.php");
include_once ($slogin_path . "/header.inc.php");

in their headers.



And all the footers in the main and in the two subdirectories have this:

Code:
include_once ($slogin_path . "footer.inc.php");




The thing it doesn't do anymore is create a slog_yearmonth_log.txt in the subdirectories, only in the main one, which is good. :)

The problem it has now is that it doesn't recognize the passwords at all. "Wrong username or password" is what I get, whichever page I try to log in from. I checked the slogin_lib.inc.php and found a number more /var/www/html/ lines which most likely still need to be changed:

Code:
// Set name of users file.
// To disable authentication, just empty the slogin_userstxt variable.
$slogin_userstxt = "/var/www/html/maindirectory/passwordfilename.txt";
$slogin_altuser = "/var/www/html/maindirectory/passwordfilename.php";




And a bit further on:

Code:
// Authenticate.
if ($slogin_logout || $slogin_login) {
  @session_unset ();
  @session_destroy ();
  include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/header.inc.php");
  include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/slogin.inc.php");
  include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/footer.inc.php");
  exit;
}
else {
  if (($slogin_noauthpage != 1) || ($slogin_explicitauth)) {
    if ((!$slogin_Username) && (!$slogin_Password)) {
      if ((!$slogin_loginname) && (!$slogin_loginpass)) {
        include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/header.inc.php");
        include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/slogin.inc.php");
        include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/footer.inc.php");
        exit;
      }
      else {
        if (fslogin_check_user ($slogin_loginname, $slogin_loginpass)) {
          fslogin_log_user ("{$slogin_text[$slogin_lang]["UserLoggedIn"]} $slogin_loginname");
          $slogin_Username = $slogin_loginname;
          $slogin_Name = $slogin_loginpass;
          $_SESSION["Username"] = $slogin_loginname;
        }
        else {
          @session_unset ();
          @session_destroy ();
          fslogin_log_user ("{$slogin_text[$slogin_lang]["LoginFailed"]} $slogin_loginname");
          include_once ("/var/www/html/books/header.inc.php");
          echo "<div align=\"center\">{$slogin_text[$slogin_lang]["WrongLogin"]}</div>";
          include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/slogin.inc.php");
          include_once ("/var/www/html/maindirectory/footer.inc.php");
          exit;




As you can see I have been on a roll with this var/www/html stuff *laughs*

I hope you can help me out with that one as well :)

Mmmh. I'm testing with a similar structure and it works. :?

Did you made the changes (in slogin_lib.inc.php) I suggested in my previous post? Please verify them. Those changes allow the script to use the slogin_path variable as referece so you never has to use the full path (the var/www/html stuff). Backup your slogin_lib.inc.php file, then delete all full path references (all var/www/html stuff) and do the changes I suggested. If you have been tweaking a lot the file, maybe it would be easier to start with a new one from the original package.

The changes are:
Open the slogin_lib.inc.php file and add the following code around line 50 (after the definition of the slogin_usehashes variable):

Code:
// Fix the paths.
if (!isset ($slogin_path)) {
  $slogin_path = "";
}
$slogin_userstxt = $slogin_path . $slogin_userstxt;
$slogin_altuser = $slogin_path . $slogin_altuser;



And around line 64 substitute the definition of the constant SLOGIN_LOG_FILE with this:
Code:
define ("SLOGIN_LOG_FILE", $slogin_path . SLOGIN_LOG_PREFIX . fslogin_logprefix() . SLOGIN_LOG_SUFFIX . ".txt");



Eadwine, if you still have problems, please send me the slogin_lib.inc.php file by email (to mario@mariovaldez.org) and I'll check it for you. :)

Mario A. Valdez-Ramirez.

Post subject:  Re: Paths in slogin_lib.inc.php...
I have gotten it to work :)

I have simply given the remaining include_once lines this format:


Code:
include_once ($slogin_path . "apropriatefile.php");



I have logged in from all possible subdirectories and it works like a charm. The only adminlog location is now the main directory :)


Thank you so much for your help!!

Mind you, I'd be glad to send you a copy of my slogin_lib.inc.php file via email, if that would help you out with the development?

Just tell me which email to send it to :)
