bbtonuke 2.0.14 => 2.0.15 ... cannot access Admin panel

I recently upgraded Nuke Sentinel to 2.2.1 and BBtoNuke 2.0.15, and now when I try to access my admin panel I get these errors:

Code:

Warning: main(db/mysql.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/meuonet/public_html/db/db.php on line 67

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'db/mysql.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/meuonet/public_html/db/db.php on line 67

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sql_db in /home/meuonet/public_html/db/db.php on line 100

I'm using Platinum Nuke 7.6.0 but it seems like techgfx is down atm. mysql.php does exist in the db folder. My suspicion is that there is an error here:

Code:

global $forum_admin;
if ($forum_admin == 1) {
$the_include = "../../../db";
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
$the_include = "../../db";
} else {
$the_include = "db";
}

.. and it's looking at the wrong dir. I don't want to play around with the files so I'm asking you before I edit them.

Pretty sure BBToNuke 2.0.15 requires the Patched files, I don't know if Platinum is updated on the latest ones.

Code:

global $forum_admin;
if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {
$the_include = "../../../db";
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
$the_include = "../../db";
} else {
$the_include = "db";
}

try this

change all the following codes

Code:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
....

to

Code:

if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {
....

The reason of why you must change in the above way is that 7.7+ does not use $forum_admin variable anymore. Instread, it defines a macro.

So, if you have old version of BB2Nuke (less than 2.0.15), then you will find no $forum_admin. This is another disaster to those BB2Nuke users who installed old versions of ported MODs. For instance, phpnuke variants (such as platinum) includes old versions of ported MODs and $forum_admin, then it doesn't work with BB2Nuke2.0.15 anymore.

So, is there another way to work with BB2Nuke 2.0.15? Yes, there is. Open your common.php file and add $admin_forum = 1. But this is not good idea to keep phpbb2 security (not php-nuke security). This will make your old ported MODs working, though.

I'm running PHP-Nuke 7.6 and BBtoNuke 2.0.17, and I'm getting this same error. I tried swapping out the code in db.php as instructed above, and it just created more errors because my copy of common.php still includes the old references to

Code:

if ($forum_admin == 1)

I thought I had swapped for the newer patched files as I went through the upgrades from 2.14 onward, but maybe not. Is it feasible to just replace the current Forum directory with a newer version of all the BBtoNuke files, or will the forum no longer work with 7.6 at that point?

Would it be better to use Xyberian's trick in the common.php page? I don't have any mods to the forum, unless you count a slightly reworked theme.

Use the Patched files, make sure your files use

Code:

if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {
