if all else fails , i would take a backup of public_html
then i would take vbulletinsuite_4-0-3_Patch_Level_1
and i would remove the images directory and the favicon and the includes/install,php
i would then upload it and reinstall over the files you have . cant hurt anything really. and may fix it.

oh yea http://themodelcraftsman.com/install/upgrade.php run that

I agree Im using his Random Header also.

Just overwrite the files. Not actually running any kind of install.php right?

yep its just writing over what you have it will reinstall tables too

Looks like Ill have to give that a try. Its locked on the Event Reminder cron this time and is almost 30 minutes late.

Still not error logs in the server. All paths are correct and Permissions set to 777. Wait and see I guess.

Thanks again. I'll report back on this later today...

good luck with it

Well I just gave that a try. Now to wait and see.

A little progress finally. :up:

So the cron's are basically running. All except for one. For some reason its the Events Reminder thats hanging each time. As long as its deactivated everything works.

I think overwriting the files as you said did the trick for most of it. I went ahead and reinstated the search hack and its still working.

Any ideal why the events cron would shut it down? All that is fresh VB script.

I think I found the problem. Its a link rewrite hack that changes the RSS link into an affiliate link for eBay.

As soon as I reinstalled the hack the cron's shut down.

Guess what its a confirmed bug in the RSS.

Its been around since March and its listed as Trivial in the bug tracker. Wow!!! You would think anything shutting down the croms would be a priority issue but no. Its not even assigned to anyone.

Now I have to hold off on my 3.8.4 update and the new site cant go live without it. Not cool VB this a vital part of the forum and its not even being addressed. :down:
