Everything was good ...until

I have been trying to get this site together all week and keep running into errors like this one.

This time I built the site step by step, testing everything at each major crossroads. Everything was fine as I built the pages from Security Assist then setup the Pages for Power CMS Builder but as soon as I setup the user levels and applied access rules to my protected pages I started getting errors when trying to access one of those pages (the rest of them seem to be fine) and when I try to log into the CMS Admin panel.

Here is the error I get when I try to access my protected page (downloads.php):

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wa_authenticateuser() (previously declared in /homepages/46/d366494719/htdocs/webcom2/WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php:8) in /homepages/46/d366494719/htdocs/webcom2/webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php on line 58

Here is the error I get when I try to access the CMS Admin panel:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wa_authenticateuser() (previously declared in /homepages/46/d366494719/htdocs/webcom2/webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php:28) in /homepages/46/d366494719/htdocs/webcom2/WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php on line 46

Since powerCMS was built using a previous version of SecurityAssist they aren't perfectly compatible. However I can give you instructions on how to update powerCMS code to make it work properly. There are basically two steps:

1) do a search site wide and find and replace: WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP with: webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php

2) Then you need to combine the two files:
WA_SecurityAssist/helpergroupsrulesphp.php and webassist/security_assist/helpergroupsrulesphp.php

into: webassist/security_assist/helpergroupsrulesphp.php

If you send me a copy of those two files I can help you combine them. Those two steps would basically update powerCMS to use the latest version of SecurityAssist so that they would be compatible.

Hi Ray,

I'm a bit confused here. It looks like the 2 files you want me to combine in step 2 are the same name in the same location.

The other thing is that I did do a site wide search in a previous interation of this site for those files and changed everything but at that point I couldn't get into the CMS admin panel because it would no longer take my login/password.

Is this something that I need to be on the lookout for when I do site development? As long as I know how to handle conflicts like this when they come up it just becomes part of the regular debug cycle but at this point I'm still learning all the goodies in Power Suite.

I updated the file paths in my previous post. Combining those files will solve the login issue. I had copied and pasted and forgot to update the paths so that they were identical. Sorry for the confusion.

Just got in and saw this. I'm sending the two files to you so I can see how you put them together then I should be able to do it if I need to again for another installation.

Thanks for all the help

OK, just copy lines 6-12 from HelperGroupsRulsePHP.php and paste them after line 33 of helpergroupsrulsephp.php

Still getting errors but they are different ones now.

This is the URL that is sent through when I ask to view the user registration page. I get an error in my browser saying that the page will not redirect properly. When I do a retry I get a further error that the URI is too long for the server.

looks to me like there is a page access rule applied to the registration page, the access rule on the registration page, is set to go to a page that also has an access rule applied that is creating an endless loop.


double check the access rule applied to the registration page.
