[Solved] Can Access AdminCP But Not Forum

[LS88]

I got home last night to find my forum down. At the time it was given a cloudflare message. Bluehost recommended I delete cloudflare which I did, now I get a 500 server error when trying to access the forums.

After hours on the phone with bluehost they've basically left me with "it's a code issue hire a developer" no changes were made to bring on this issue. I reinstalled vbulletin 4.2.2 fresh just now and the issue persists.

I don't know whether bluehost is just screwing me or if the issue is a vbulletin problem.

Any help is appreciated.

I should also mention that the wordpress installation on the server still loads, just not VB.

There was a file edit needed to make CF work on your board. Remember? You must revert this file when deleting CF.

No I don't remember :o

It's been so long since I stopped using CF, i don't offhand remember either. I only know there was one, related to IPs displayed all being cloudflare if you didn't do the edit.

Before you deleted CF did you point your board back to your host's nameserver?

Can we have a link to your board?

My website is truthinourtime.com the forum is /forum

It's been awhile since I installed CF as well and I don't recall having to do anything. Since my forum is a subdomain would I still have had to do it?

The only thing I did was reset DNS tables in cpanel but nothing from vbulletin side.

Thanks for your help.

I looked into the issue of what was added for CF to work to begin with and found

"Remove the // in front of the $config['Misc']['proxyiplist'] and $config['Misc']['proxyipheader']"

I looked up my config.php and it has the // which I'm assuming I need since I no longer have CF.

No doubt. Any ideas?

How did you "delete" Cloudflare? You must point your domain back to the host when you do.

You say adminCP is still live? Could it be you did this feature?

I deleted it from within cpanel, as well as deleted it from cloudflares website. When I login now it asks me to add a website.

From within cpanel I reverted DNS to default, since before I did that I had DNS errors (obviously) and now the forum will sometimes load but it takes several minutes sometimes it doesn't load at all and even if it loads you can't click on any threads.

Here was the original file edit they used to call for, for use with vBulletin:

1.
Open includes/class_core.php

2.
Find: function fetch_ip() { return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; }

replace with:

function fetch_ip() { if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) { return $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; } return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; }


Find:

function fetch_alt_ip() { $alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) { $alt_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']; }


Replace with:

function fetch_alt_ip() { $alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) { $alt_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; } else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) { $alt_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']; }


3. Upload and overwriteTry re-uploading your original class_core.php file to the server, to overwrite this even if you don't recall doing it.

I uploaded the file, it was the exact same size so I don't think it had been edited. Or it had been replaced when I reuploaded all of the files again an hour ago.

Yes you get that sometimes and sometimes after 5 minutes the front page loads.

Anyone??

Well the problem turned out to be a plugin was holding it up. I disabled plugins within config.php and it loaded quickly. Does anyone know a way to check and see which plugin is causing the issue and why or just turn them on one by one?

Thanks for the help Max.
