[Post-nuke-users] Problem upgrading from old php-nuke

[<jg...@fl...>]

I've recently inherited a really old site which runs php-nuke 3.5.  At 
least I think it's 3.5.  I applied the upgrade scripts from php-nuke to 
get it up to 4.4.  This took a little hacking because they had syntax 
errors but I believe I got it to work.  I then did the post-nuke install 
and used the upgrade option for php-nuke 4.4.

Here's the ouput from my upgrade:

No need to rename itTable faqcategories is already as it should be.

$pnconfig['prefix'] = 'my_prefix';
Finished -- Your upgrade to the latest version of PostNuke is finished.
Remember to change your config.php settings before using for the first time.

The above error I was believe due to file ownership issues.  I hand 
edited the files with the appropiate information.  When I went to my 
site I recieved the following errors:



*Warning*: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in

This error is a result of the above I believe:
Fatal error*: Call to a member function on a non-object in 
*/var/www/Rogue_Seven_Oh_Two/html/mainfile2.php* on line *264*



Line 359 of security.php puts me in this function:

function getLevel($perms, $testrealm, $testcomponent, $testinstance)
{
    $level = ACCESS_INVALID;

    // If we get a test component or instance purely consisting of ':' signs
    // then it counts as blank
    $testcomponent = preg_replace('/^:*$/', '', $testcomponent);
    $testinstance = preg_replace('/^:*$/', '', $testinstance);

    foreach ($perms as $perm) { // <-- Line 359


I'm posting this to see if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone 
knows of a quick fix.  I'm still trying to track down the source of the 
error.  BTW, great work on postnuke, especially the theme management!

TIA,
Jesse
