I remember seeing in admincp there is an option screen for the redirect your url. Do you know which php file that is?

--------------- Added [DATE]1443284078[/DATE] at [TIME]1443284078[/TIME] ---------------

Could someone please go to their admincp....options and find the option for your url. I need to know the path to the file I need to change. Thanks a million in advance.

Okay, I gave up and decided to start by Installing vbbulletin 4.2.3 but it hangs up at step 18 of 33 of the CMS installation. Got an clues as to why?

Is it giving you an error message or is it just not going past that point? If its giving you an error message please post it so that we can see what it is. It would also help to know what the step is that is that number. You can find that out by clicking the button at the bottom showing the details of what is going on as its updating.

No error what so ever it just sits for there forever.
If you restart the install it starts over from scratch asks you about the entries to the database, your forum name and your username and password. Then it goes right to the same spot and hangs up.:mad:

I get the exact step and function it is performing tonight when I get home.

Ok also you need to check that your hosting is currently running the proper PHP & MySQL for this version of vBulletin. That could cause it to hang.

Those are the requirements. You may want to check to see that your server meets them, if not then usually you can just ask the host to upgrade whichever one does not and they will for free....usually.

Here is where it hangs up.......right after 18
Step 18 - Altering cms_nodeinfo Table (1 of 1)
Status: Processing CMS, Step 19 of 33

I checked and then spoke to the hosting company....
msql 5.5.42
PHP5.4 and they offer 5.5.
cURL 7.34

No help...I guess I am in the wrong place. I went to vbulletin.com.

Er ok. Sometimes you gotta give people a chance to at least answer you. People on here are just volunteering to help, they all have other real jobs to do as well.

As far as where it hangs I would think that there is possibly a server issue. Maybe the server is timing out or this is possibly a known problem in which checking on vbulletin.com would not hurt.

Thanks for your help. I read the sticky and followed the instructions to submit a support ticket and they got it going for me. Somewhere in the config.php file it was hanging up. Probably in the cms section.:up:

Glad they got you sorted. :)

Now I need help with posting pictures in a thread. I copied links of pictures from photobucket in a post. It limits me to 4 including any smilies. Where do I need to change this. I already looked in admincp at the attachment options.

Go to Options > Message Posting And Editing Options and you will find Maximum Images Per Post. Change that setting from 4 to what you want, but keep in mind that if you set it really high it may cause some extra server load and/or problems with your posts loading if there are a lot of images in the post. I set mine to about 10.

Okay help with the status icons

/images/statusicon/forum_new-48.png

/images/statusicon/forum_old-48.png

I tried to change them to another png but they seem to revert back.

Revert back? Do you notice them actually changed and then they go back? If so you need to try a couple of things in this order...

1. Make sure that you uploaded the images via FTP to the correct directory for your current skin. If you are using vBulletin's built in default skin then you would upload the icon files to YOUR WEB ROOT/vBulletin directory/images/statusicon/filename.png and be sure to over write the images when you upload. If you have a custom skin or a skin other than the vBulletin default those files can be in a different place depending upon the designer. Some designers put the files in a directory with the skin name on it, some put them in a directory called "styles" and so on. The best easiest way to find out where those files are located is to go to your FORUMHOME and right click on an icon and choose "view Image" then look in your top bar for the pathway to that image.

2. Clear the cache in vBulletin do this by going to Maintenance > Clear System Cache. That will clear the cache in vBulletin.

3. Clear your browser cache. This will depend on what browser you are using. I'm sure you can google that if you need that info.

4. If, for some reason it still does not work try clearing your cache in your PC to do this just google "clear cache in windows _______" or whatever OS you are running.

Something keeps on killing me on my password. I log on and it keeps on telling me I have expired the password tries and have to come back in 15 minutes to try again. Has to be some new vbulletin thing,

Hmmm that is a new one. In that case you may want to check at vBulletin.com to see if there is a known issue going from vB 4.1 to 4.2. Its not a new vb thing, but on that one I'm not sure what it could be as I have not encountered that before in upgrading vBulletin.

Did you try to login multiple times using the wrong Username and/or Password?

True. bremereric By default vBulletin is set to only allow 5 login attempts per person even if you are an admin. If that happens it usually times you out of the site for 15 minutes before you can try to login again.

The saga continues....what the heck is forumrunner? In admincp it prompts me to get the site key at forumrunner.com.

I got the forum_new-48.png one working from the old site.

http://www.aspenandvolare.com/images...rum_new-48.png

Its vBulletin's answer to Tapatalk I believe. It allows your members to use an App on other devices to view, post and use your forum. If you want to disable it go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Forum Runner and click the drop down to your far right choosing "Disable". Then click the "Go" button if it does not automatically refresh.

When you say from the old site do you mean you have left those icons in the old directory or you moved them to the new installation? In order for them to work properly you will need to make sure that they are in your new vBulletin 4 installation image directory.

Do you have a link to your site so that I can see if there is any code issue that might be causing your problems?

Forumrunner never was IB's answer. Forumrunner was independent until IB bought it, and ruined it. It is dead now, and has been for quite some time.

Ah ok. I never have really been interested in using it so I never paid much attention to it myself. I always disabled it if I needed to. Did not realize that IB killed it too. :( Pretty sad...

Did you clear the site cache in the AdminCP? I think I had posted the directions to that earlier in the thread. Try uploading the image again, make sure of these things before/as you do...

1. Make sure the image names are exactly the same. Check them to be sure.

2. If they are then upload the image again but this time I would say back up the old image (download it to your PC) & then delete the old image first and then upload the new image.

3. Clear your cache again in the AdminCP...go to Maintenance > Clear System Cache

4. Go to your FORUMHOME page and hard refresh your screen click CTRL + F5 or CTRL + refresh button in the browser.

I got someone to photo shop the images and they are working fine now.

Now why this? Time on my computer and in admincp is set for central time. This is from the bottom of the forum.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:15 AM.

Powered by vBulletin? Version 4.2.3

Go to Settings > Options > Date & Time Options and set the correct time there.

It is set to central time. I am on hold with the hosting company to see. Three different browsers say the same time.

This is the settings I have in the admin cp.

Check the time zone settings for the account (in the profile) you see the discrepancy on.

Your right but for some reason I still have to pick eastern time to display the correct time. -5 GMT I should be using -6 GMT.

Man IE sucks on my forum. I have to use goggle or firefox.

Question is CMS. I did my home page in the Articles section. Before I upgraded to new I had a new post widget, a new articles widget and so on. Now I have only the main article section. does anyone have some down and dirty fixes to add the same as above. CMS section had no help files or such for help with it.

You may need to re-add them to the layout. You decided to do a fresh install right instead of the upgrade? There maybe a way to import the old widgets into the new install with some database queries but I have no idea what you should use.

Here is another, sorry for some of the stupid questions but how do I change the ten needed to post to something like 2. A short post like two words less than ten will post a error box stating that your post is too short.

Look I messed with the widgets and stuff last night and got the home page left sidebar widget to work.

I want to change the Article tab to read Home. What template do I need to edit. I have been going through several of them already.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/...4.jpg~original

No template to edit at all just go to the Navigation area. Settings > Navigational Manager.

Thanks again. I can't believe how much I am learning. It's hard starting over but so far well worth it.

Toggle the site wide DST setting off and then exit the ACP and log out. Then login again and re-enable the DST setting. I had to do that once when I moved servers.

What controls the time that new posts are new and then they are not new. Meaning that you post something and then comeback and it says there are no new posts. Another newbie question.

Not sure I follow you.

It is controlled by the cookie setting etc...
