[upromotion]

Hard to tell, I would start by re-uploading the files, make sure they are being transferred in ASCII mode for php files... maybe something went wrong in the upload...

Thank for your reply.

I have done this but it didnt work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Looks like there's a problem with templates. Is it possible that the database didn't get fully restored?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I would have thought it was a problem with you uploading your files, but it talks about eval() code which is usually a plugin.

Hi

I have tryed disabling the plugins by adding define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to the config and it doesnt work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Maybe re-download the original vb files for your version? It really looks like your files are corrupted in some way, so if you re-uploaded them and that didn't help maybe the files you are uploading are bad?

Scratch that.

Reupload ./global.php, ./includes/functions_forumlist.php and ./index.php . Make sure you are overwriting the copy on the server.

What version of vbulletin are your files?

Hi

I have tryed everything, even from replacing all the files with new ones.

Now what i have done is i have used a backup from the 18th july and everything works fine, though when i try and upload the database everything goes in ok though when accessing the website we get loads of errors, so i have pin pointed it down to the database.

Any ideas on what it could be?

was running version 3.8.6

So both the files are 3.8.6 and the database is 3.8.6?

I just went to check your site to see the errors again and it looks like you have it up and working?

Hi lynne

Im running from a backup i created over a week ago that works though not sure why the recent backup wouldnt.

why is this? am i also going to have this problem when i want to backup? to do my database backups i do them manually via phpmyadmin

Thanks
Steve

Maybe the backup was corrupted? I really can't tell you why it wouldn't work. Try using it on a test site.
