well i took the risk in installing this on a test site that i made. shes a no go...i followed the steps and even back tracked file by file to make sure i didnt miss anything. then when i get to this part http://yoursite.com/forum/admin/myvb_install.php nothing happends. sites now dead...good thing i backed it up. :rolleyes:

everything seems to be in its right place, but its not installing...

Jacko - Well unless any bugs are found (which I don't think there are any) then this will be the last version of mYvBindex for vBulletin 2.x. With vB 3.0 right around the corner (hopefully) I don't see much of a point in tweaking this version much more.

mv540 - Are you saying the install script messed up your forum? There's no way this would happen, especially if you didn't even make it though any of the steps for the installer (nor would it mess up anything if you did make it though the installer). Can you tell me what version of PHP, MySQL, vBulletin, and mYvBindex you're running? What exactly happens when you go to the install file - Do you get a blank white page, an error, or what?

just get page not displayed

im using vb 2.3.0 and php im not sure. ive got the older vbindex working on my other site though. and the php and mysql would be the same i would imagine, im not sure what versions those are..

version for vbindex is the one i downloaded from this thread

my mistake of mentioning that my site got screwd, i thought it was but appears to still be there..the install doesnt seem to be kicking in

As long as you uploaded the myvb_install.php file to your forum/admin directory and you're going to the correct url, there's no reason you should get that error. If you're sure that's been done correctly and you would like me to take a look at it you can set me up a temporary admin account at your forum and a temporary FTP account. If you want to do that and PM me with the info I'll be glad to take a look and see what's wrong. Other than that though, I don't see why you would be having problems so it's hard to tell what the cause is without being able to test it out myself.

ok after backtracking one last and final time...this is what happend...

when attempting to install, it didnt work do to a typo.

i forgot to add the dam "s" at the end of forum...lol. incase anyone else runs into this problem be sure the directory folders have the correct spelling..:rolleyes:

sorry to bug ya guys, thanks for the help...

I knew it had to be something like that. Glad you figured it out. :)

im stuck again...this im almost certain i do not understand

i read the instructions which relates to my problem i think...

Q. I get an error like this when I first try to install the script:
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/yoursite/html/myvbindex.php on line 27
A.The path to your forums directory is set wrong. Create a file called info.php with the following content:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Then upload that file to your server and go to it in your browser. You will see a list of options that were set by your host. One of them is called:

_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]

Copy that path, paste it over what you currently have for your path in the myvbindex.php file, and reupload your myvbindex.php file.

---------------------------------------------------

here is my error that im getting

when i finished uploading it said click here to go to admin cp..i did and got a white page. so i went in manually to adjust the ID'd and suck for my poll and news sections.

but im not getting the portal showing up..

when i go to http://mysite.com/myvbindex.php

error":Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/hsphere/local/home/me/mysite.com/myvbindex.php on line 16

Did you edit the path in your myvbindex.php file? If it was the same as the error you posted above, the path should be:
/home/hsphere/local/home/me/mysite.com/forums

bingo, huston we've got portal visual & communication!

thanks tigga :cool:
