The PostNuke Swiss Army Knife tool (commonly referred to as PSAK) to a small utility to solve a number of common issues with your PostNuke site. It can perform the following tasks:
- Encode the database username and password in config.php
- Enable or disable the 'intranet' option
- Reset the default site theme to a known good one
- Reset PN permissions to the shipped defaults
- Display a phpinfo report
The utility can be downloaded from the downloads archive∞. Place the file in the PostNuke root (with index.php, admin.php, modules.php etc.) and then call from a browser e.g. http://www.example.com/psak.php.
It's important to remove the file after use since this tool bypasses much of the security built into PN in order to fix the problems it fixes.

To avoid having to remove the psak.php file every time I use it I:1. Add 1 line of code to psak.php (before any other PHP code):
cd ('../<pnroot>') ;
2. Create a password protected directory (eg. PSAKDir) at the same level as my PostNuke root directory and copy the modified psak.php file to it.
3. Use the following URL:
http://myhost/PSAKDir/psak.php
I haven't tested this with the latest version. PostNuke versions 750+ work with an absolute path so the psak.php could be placed just about anywhere in the HTML path after modify the PHP cd command.
