"There have been some problems with the php4ts.dll library. If you cannot restart your Apache server, download [this file] and replace your current one."

i just did that, still doesnt start up.. if i try to start it up from the Service Monitor it says "The requested operatoin failed!".. i also tried restarting but doenst work either.. any ideas?

I was having the same problem a while ago. I downloaded the fixed file from the link in the first post and it still didn't work. I went to the PHP bug thread at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18129.

I read the whole thread and finally tried the file at http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

That file seemed identical to the one linked in the first post, but I tried it anyway and it worked. You can give it a shot, if nothing else.

i just gave that a shot.. doesnt seem to work for me though.. maybe its not that particular file thats screwing it up? is there something else that can mess it up?

Ok, I got it to work fine and restored the database from my online vB to my localhost. It worked perfectly except, when I try to login as a user to the localhost vB it takes me directly to my online vB instead of my localhost. I turned off my internet connection and tried to log in again and it times out trying to access my online vb. Any ideas? Thanks.

Is because you have to set the right options onto your localhost vBulletin options.
If you look at your settings you will see that the bburl is your online site, not the localhost one.
When you updated your database, it changed those settings to your online ones.

Ok, I changed the vbulletin options to what you see below. It is still taking me to the www vB instead of the localhost vB when I login as a user. Thanks in advance.

Never mind I got it. I had been doing some fooling around with my login prompt and to make a long story short, I had the http:/www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/member.php hard coded into the form code instead of /forums/member.php. Anyway, I got it. It makes me wonder what else I did that to. Thanks.

what configuration would I have to do to make this accessable from the internet via IP address..?

you have to configure apache somehow... I have managed to get it working for one person... but when I give the address out to another person it doesn't work for him.. coincedentally, the person it works for uses the same ISP and lives not even 2 minutes away from me. but it doesn't work for anyone else. but anyways.....


if your ISP allows the use of port 80 then cool, if not you have to set it to another port, the next typical port is 8080, i also set listen to my ip address,
all in the httpd.conf file.

Of course this could be dumb luck seeing as i have no knowledge of apache..Well cept fot the port.. I know that much :p
