This is awesome. I just installed it! Great job!

I am having trouble installing it, I uploaded all the files and when I run the php file it redirects me to
[..] admincp/index.php?loc=install_htl.php?inside=1

then I get an Invalid or empty Hack Tracking Log Installer file specified error

Question: I get "Invalid or empty Hack Tracking Log Installer file specified" when I try to install.
Answer: Make sure that your FTP client uploads the file "htlfiles/Hack_Tracking_Log.htl" as a binary file. If you get this message, your FTP client probably uploaded it as an ASCII file, but that will not work.

I thought i was seeing things when i saw this on the front page :) Well done KuraFire im about to install now. Hope the buzz was worth it :)

How exactly do I upload them as binary? I didn't even upload them anywhere.. I just downloaded them, unzipped, copied then tried to install. I am on the server.

Hmm, i've not had the chance to do that...

Well.. *hrm* The thing is, the .htl needs to be treated as a binary file, otherwise the newlines in there will break the unserialize() function. See if you can make it be a binary file on your server...

I will be installing in a second and then moving all my vb3 hacks into it then working on moving my custom file changes. So I will proble release a few more hacks tonight out of my private code so far. :)

Just uploaded them to my own server (that made no sense btw) as a binary file. No luck. It stills give me the same error.
If the newlines are the problem can I just get rid of them?

If any hackers want any of there vb3 files converted to this format please pm me tonight and ill see about doing it. I really want to help get this hack pushed harder then any hacker ever was before. I hope to see all hacks from here on out released in this format.

ok, here's what you should do:

try using the dos2unix or the fromdos command on your server.


The problem is indeed the newlines that are different between Windows and *nix, and that's causing a problem. Usually, if the files are unzipped on windows and the .htl file uploaded as a binary file, it won't matter cos that works right away. But in this case, you're not doing any binary file transfers, so you're stuck with windows newlines on a unix system. The fromdos or dos2unix utilities can be the solution for you, though. Please try those :)


and if those are no good, try removing all \r\n to \n on your .htl file :)
