have a problem with one of my sites in the way vbb is installed.

I am running redhat and all my sites I have vbb in \var\www\html\vBulletin

On the site I am having problems with it will not work unless the global.php admincp and includes folder are in \var\www\html

If I remove either folder the site stops working, its got to be something in a path somewhere I think but I am lost as to what to do. I have compared files from the other sites that are working but I cant find the problem.

You're not really giving us much to go on here.

What I am saying is that.. I have vBulletin installed in /var/www/html/vBulletin
but it will not work unless I copy global.php, the admincp and includes folder into the /var/www/html folder.

If I remove either global.php or the admincp and includes folder from the /var/www/html VBB stops working. I also have global.php and the admincp and includes folder in the var/www/html/vBulletin.

Its as thought its looking in the html folder for these files and not in the vBulletin folder.

Its working fine now.. I just wanted to get all the files in the vBulletin folder like the rest of my sites..

First of all it is vB, not VBB (this is different bulletin board software).

Check your site url in your vBulletin Options.

Site url is correct http://alawx.com I also changed it to http://alawx.com/vBulletin and it still worked, but once I remove the global.php file from /var/www/html it wont load.

It should be pointing to your forum url, not your homepage (that is a different settting)

I agree, but it works both ways.
