Running vBulletin 4.2.3 Patch Level 2.

Installed just now, but there is no rankorder column when I go into User Rank Manager.

Our installation doesn't have directory /admincp; we have /admincontrolpanel instead, so ranks.php hasn't been modified. File /includes/functions_ranks.php wasn't modified either.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Added:
Just read post#35. Edited the .xml to replace admincp with admincontrolpanel and reloaded. Same result; no rankorder column and the two files remain unchanged.

Try doing what this user did:

Or, you might get away with just uninstalling the product, then rename "/admincontrolpanel" to "/admincp", then install the product, and once you verify it works, rename the folder "/admincp" back to "/admincontrolpanel". :)

Tried uninstalling the MOD first, and then reloading it. Same results.

I can't just rename the /admincontrolpanel to /admincp as doing so results in my not being able to access the AdminCP. I had renamed this folder several years ago for security reasons.

Where in vBulletin is the folder name for admincp set?

In the file "includes/config.php" look for the line:

and change them there as well...sorry for leaving out that step, perhaps this is why vpcarrocci used the "dummy folder" method instead. ;)

That file exists in two locations; our server forum root as well as /includes.

I edited both files are replaced admincontrolpanel with admincp. Renamed the /admincontrolpanel folder to /admincp.

When I attempt to load the AdminCP it fails with:

The requested URL /admincontrolpanel/index.php was not found on this server.

I've reset both files and renamed the folder back so that at least getting into the AdminCP still works.

Is this likely just a browser cache problem?

Try vpcarrocci's method...:)

Duplicating exactly what post #40 did also doesn't work here.

The ranks.php file in the created /admincp folder remains unchanged and the second file: ranks_orig.php; doesn't exist/wasn't created.

The same is true of the /includes/functions.php file. It remains unchanged and the second file: functions_orig.php doesn exist/wasn't created.

Installing the MOD didn't present any errors of any kind.

Send the login credentials to an admin account with FTP access to me by PM, and I will try to resolve the issue. :)

I'll do that if it really becomes necessary.

As neither the source files are being changed; date/time stamp isn't changing; and the backup files aren't being created, I thought maybe it's a permission issue, like it was with the other MOD I mucked with.

Both directories; admincontrolpanel and inlcudes; have permissions of 755. The contents of both directories have permissions of 644. I changed the directories to 775 and the two individual .php files to 775 and reran the installation .xml file. Still didn't get any error notifications, but the result was the same; no backup files created and the original files remained untouched.

Permissions on the directories and the two files have been reset back to what they were.

Is there a way to capture what's going on when the .xml file is run to a log file we can then examine?

If you have errors and/or warnings being suppressed by your config.php file, try turning that off (just comment that out) when you run the install. When done, then uncomment those lines.
