Is this a fresh install? Did you follow all the steps in the readme first file?

Tried to in stall and get a cgi error

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

can someone help?

Changed that, but I still get blank Pages on vbhlinstall.php and index.php :(

STEP 4:

Open vbHome (lite) index.php file and change the default server path:
chdir('/wwwroot');

to your website full server path, for example:
chdir('/home/website/forum');

If you are not sure how to do this, create a file with the content:
<?php phpinfo(32); ?>

Save it as info.php and upload it onto your /forum folder.
When you open info.php in your browser, you will see there a list of environment options set as default by your host.
One of them is called:
_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]

That's what you are looking for. The path to your folder.
All you have to do now is copy that path onto your vbHome (lite) index.php file.

k, i have read the first 20 pages and the last 20 pages, and didnt see anything like this...

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1829 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /home/hitman2forumcom/index.php on line 12

Warning: Unable to access ./global.php in /home/hitman2forumcom/index.php on line 16

So what's up with that?

Is it something my host (shared) has disabled?

I did the complete setup until the final step where i should upload the files, i then tried executing the index.php and got the above error!!! *gaasp*

Hmm, somehow i got the chdir messed up, corrected it but now i get...

Warning: Unable to access ./global.php in /home/hitman2forumcom/vbhlinstall.php on line 3

....when trying to run the installer....

TECK,

I installed vbHome (lite) to evaluate, and I've hit a bit of a bump in the road....

I would greatly appreciate your help in getting this up and running.

I read your instructions and I did not have any problems with steps 1-4 (to the best of my knowledge).

For Step 5 I did not find the modifyavatar template and I skipped this step. Perhaps vBulletin, which I paid to do the installation, did not include this file??

Step 6 also did not seem consistent with what I was finding, and I skipped this as well.

Step 7 I modified a few of the smile paths, and this seemed easy enough.

Step 8 I made an avatar image and changed the path to a full path, and this worked ok.

In Step 9 I generated a Journalists user group, but did not understand your comment about usergroup IDs.

I performed step 10

In step 11...

I uploaded the index to: /big/dom/xobesitypolicy/www

which I take to be my root dir.

I uploaded printarticle.php, but newthread.php was not in the installation I downloaded from you, so I skipped that.

template.php was already in my ADMIN dir, and not available for uploading...

I had no problem uploading the images...

For the final step, running the installer, I uploaded vbhlinstall to my root directory and just got a white screen in the browser...

Then when I went to the domain, obesitypolicy.com, I got:


Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL:

TECK,

Any thoughts would be much appreciated? Can my company pay you to install this properly? My computer skills are pretty marginal. I'm doing this because we're a small organization....

run the installed in your /admin folder, the same way like you run your vbulletin installer.

wmabon, i dont need money for this. i will help you. check your pm's

Thanks, the install went fine with no errors but no extra options in admin cp and i still get an error when trying to run index.php....

Warning: Unable to access ./global.php in /home/hitman2forumcom/index.php on line 16

What could be wrong?
