Hi,

I have added the vBindex RC5 to a site of mine but I keep getting the error when I go to the install set up.
http://www.web site in question.com/forum/admincp/vbiupgrade.php.

This is a brand new install, never having vBindex installed on it before. Is there a install of an original vBindex I have to do before I can do this vbiupgrade?

Fatal error: Failed opening required './admincp/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/website in question.com/httpdocs/forum/admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57.

I cant seem to even get it to install.
I have edited the server path in the vbconfig file and followed all the directions to a T. I am lost.

Pre-Thanks for any help

You haven't uploaded functions_vbiupgrade.php as per the install instructions.

can you help with this NTLDR

After install, try going to http://www.mirageuniverse.com/forums/vbindex.php

That error is all I get.

Something isn't right with your board, there is no reason for it not to work.

Make sure you have edited vbiconfig.php correctly.

Only one thing was changed, and that was the CHDIR_PATH value. That was changed to the value the script told me to change it for. The funny thing is the script places a double \ between each folder name...

ok
i'll see what i can do

when i did this

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1434

to make it where users in waiting for email verify cant post in the shoutbox, now when i login to board, and goto the main index page, i dont have the shoutbox option, its grayed out and im not logged in the index side of the site.

I got a question about Welcome box.

I have nothing between <!-- welcome box --> and <!-- /welcome box --> in the VBINDEX template but the welcome box is still showing up?

Thanks!

Make sure you have removed it in every style.

I only have 1 style.

You either haven't removed it all or have something seriously wrong with your vB installation.

NTLDR, my post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1459 was for u.

There should be no reason for it not to work. You'll have to wait for the next version where its implemented.

are u using plesk hosting panel?

If so, most probably due to open_basedir problem...

you see, for plesk users.... subdomains are created outside httpdocs folder


httpdocs (main public_html)
subdomains
--forums (sub folder)
--gallery (sub folder)

You will have to ask your webhost to enable this restriction for you by editing your /path/to/home/vhosts/yourdomain/conf/httpd.include

and then restart the webserver thereafter. :)

I just installed it and have everything working except a few icons which give broken image links. I've double checked all of the image paths and don't see the problem, but it seems to be inserting "http://www.digitallywise.com/forums/" before the acutal link so that it appears as "http://www.digitallywise.com/forums/http://www...."

Anyone know how to fix this? You can see it at www.digitallywise.com

Edit the vbindex_newsbit/vbindex_centerthreadbits templates and edit the <img> tag or change the icon urls.

I'm rather new to this and I looked in the vbindex_newsbit/vbindex_centerthreadbits templates, but I couldn't find anything that related to the icons i'm having trouble with. It's only in the latest threads box that I have a problem...

btw, everything else is great! Installation was a snap and the customization is pretty smooth going.

Edit: apparently it's doing it for some of the post icons and not others, and still only in the latest threads box. so confused... :ermm:

Make sure all your icons have a path in the format images/icons/icon.gif

in those two templates or in post icon manager?

Edit: all of the icons in the post icon manager already have the path images/icons/iconX.gif

If they are all in that format, your board URL is set correctly, and your using the default templates then there is no reason they shouldn't work.

Can you take a look at the site? www.digitallywise.com

I'm pretty sure I've got everything set up correctly and I haven't edited the templates at all, but some (not all) of the post icons don't display correctly and show the link to the image as http://www.digitallywise.com/forums/...cons/iconX.gif

Seems to be the default icon not working, make sure its path is images/icons/icon1.gif in the vBulletin Options where you can specify to use a default post icon if one isn't selected.

Got it working, thanks for all the help!

P.S. I'm a big charmed fan, too. I'm watching it on TV as I type this. ;)

Glad to hear it, on both counts :D

I have downloaded the latest vbindex (5). Unzipped it, uploaded the two files to root directory, and the other 6 to forums/admincp directory, as instructed. Added the html code to the admincp/index.php as instructed. Followed all the directions to set up vbindex (left box 1, right boxes, etc, etc, etc.) The vbindex admin panel shows up on my vbulletin admin panel, etc.....

Now, what else do i need to do to have this page be my index page??? Do I still need to download any hack or anything??? I am lost. I can't even pull up this new "vbindex" index page. How do I pull it up, how do I edit it, etc???

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Here is the error I get when i try to pull up http://www.mydomain.com/vbindex.php

"Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /nfs/cust/8/31/29/492138/web/vbindex.php on line 144

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:') in /nfs/cust/8/31/29/492138/web/vbindex.php on line 145"

I did open vbiconfig, and edited the line 25 from saying
"define('CHDIR_PATH', 'path/to/forums/');

to where it now shows
"define('CHDIR_PATH', 'http://www.mydomain.com/forums/');

I still get that error. I can't figure out what it's asking me to edit on lines 144 and 145 of vbindex.php

Tose two lines read like this:

144 chdir(CHDIR_PATH);
145 require_once('./global'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);

Please help... Thanks

You need to edit it with what the installer told you to edit it with (it gave you the exact instructions on what to do), the path to your forums, not the URL.

I could have sworn I did everything by the book...... So, ok..... I changed it to "web/forums/"

Now what about this line 144 and line 145 deal???

Thanks again

how can i add the templates easily on new skins?

I went back into the install page through my admincp. It has an option to:

"To view the changes that you need to make that were listed in the first step of the install process, click here."

So I did.... It brought me to the part you mentioned about editing the vbiconfig. I am supossed to find "this text", and replace it with "this text"...

Problem is, both lines are solid white bars, can't see any text. Tried to highlight, and still nothing. So, I can't see what i am supossed to take out or what I am supossed to replace it with.....

At any rate, i replaced the "path/to/forums/" with "web/forums" where "web" is my root folder. Is this correct?? Do I need a "/" in front of "web" (or anything).

Now what??? Thank you so much for your help....

Still haven't figured out my line 144 and 145 issue from vbindex.php mentioned above....

been a while since I installed this.

require_once('./global'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);

should that not be
require_once('./global.php');

?

It needs to be the FULL path, for example /home/lee/public_html

Re-run the installer and it will re-import the templates to each parent style, or just used the Upload style option in the ACP to overwrite the new style (it will only add the vBindex templates, not remove custoimisations) with the vbindex_templates.xml file.

Well, "web" is my root folder, so I assume that comes first. Within the "web directory is the "forums" directory, so I assume that comes next... Then the forums index page is "index.php"....

So, how should it look (exactly)???

"/web/forums/index.php"

"web/forums/index_html"

Sorry for the amateur questions, but I really am trying to get this right. Thanks.

Also, with the problems mentioned earlier for lines 144 and 145 of my vbindex.php, what do you make of that??? Do I need to change where it says "SCRIPT_EXTENSION" to "php" or anything..... I can't figure out the lines 144 and 145 issue either.

Thanks again,
Rob
