Alright.

STOP posting these errors like "Warning: halt(): Unable to access ./includes/functions_log_error.php in /home/www/nc0801/html/vbulletin/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389". I do not care about that, it just means there is a MySQL error below. If you want support, I NEED to know the MySQL error. Period.

Second, to everyone getting those errors starting with "Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /htdocs/www/forum/install/hack_install.php on line 22". I need more information. Web server (probably apache) and version and PHP version. Otherwise it'll be hard for me to fix this since I cannot reproduce this error, and the functions used dates back to PHP3.

Everyone requesting features: I'll get to you when I have time.

Hi,

Just wanted to add some more details for you.
The issue is with the iframe version of the shoutbox - because if you switch off the iframe you can see the posts.

The last time I had this issue was after upgrading to 1.02 of the hack - Link14716 fixed the issue then released 1.03 - his post on VB was as follows..

Not sure what was meant or if it is any help in this case or not.

Thanks in advance

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Umm....*Confused* My shoutbox doesn't appear on forum home. I can type in forums/shoutbox.php and it'll take me to it. Once I'm there I can type in a shout but it gives me that error up there.

I tried re-installing and got this on the final install page:

Any news on possible fixes, suggestions etc on the iframe issue I have got ?

Thanks and sorry for the hassle...

No it doesn't. It has a few errors that affect a minority of the users, and people keep reporting, as well as some MySQL errors that look either like I have a bad query, bad version detection, or it's just user error.

Don't post the entire settings.php file, put it in [code] next time, please. It looks like it is just missing the starting tag (<?php) which causes HTML output.

Quote your original post or provide a link to it, or repost it. It's hard searching through all these posts to find one post on one particular issue.

The installer should autodetect whether or not you have 1.03 installed and will uograde instead of doing a fresh install, thus making that query not be ran, and not causing an error.

I'm still waiting for this information from people who have this error so I can investigate - which is kind of hard to do without knowing what causes the error or being able to reproduce it myself.

Thanks and sorry.
