Ok, so that wasn't it. Hubby had been intelligent enough to edit the config.php to point to the proper database when he upgraded the dev site (thank heaven for small favors).

Here's the error:

Warning: Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/acurawo/public_html/dev/global.php(337) : eval()'d code on line 4

And here's the query generating the error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM thread
WHERE dateline>1041714961 AND forumid IN( )

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ')
' at line 4

Any ideas?

Just want to apologize for asking the same question it appears that myriad users have asked before.

And searching the thread for the answer to it sucks because there are so many posts referring to it...yet the answer doesn't seem to be magically posted in ANY of the ones I've seen...

Crap.

Ok, still having the problem with this:

Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/acurawo/public_html/dev/global.php(337) : eval()'d code on line 4

The files are in a subdirectory off of the root of the site, which is a mirror of the forums...

:(

Any help would be appreciated. The Admin CP works, and I've edited my options, and the page is showing up nicely with the exception of that error.

** Edit: fixed it. **

Is your vbStats hack. Just remove from phpinclude template the vbstats line and you are ok.
To get it working for the forum, add that line in the /forum global.php, just above:
[high]header = '';[/high]

Notice the empty [high]IN( )[/high]? that means you did not set yet your vbHome options and they are not cached in vBulletin yet (article forum). All you have to do is set at least one option in vbHome Page and it will automatically cache all vbHL options.

I also noticed you said something about full path etc?
In vbHL global.php you should have:
[high]$adminpath = 'yourforumfolder/admin';[/high] ONLY. Not the full path. Do not edit anything in the config.php file, is not needed.

I'd like to have an access to Restricted forums in Teckwizards.com.

Thanks a lot.

I'd like access to vblite support. Thanks!

I released few days ago on my forums a mini-addon for vbHome (lite), called Google mini-indexer. Basically it will allow to index all your site to Google in no time.
If you are a licensed member, grab the hack here. :)

Take a look at the results, only after few days:

For a live demo of the Google mini-indexer, go here.
The templates are customized to suit my forums, you can chenge it the way you want...

Everything that starts with 216.239.46.xxx are Google bots. :)

I request access to your vBHL Forums, the account there is "Gnu"
