instead of

PHP Code:

require("./global.php"); 


use

PHP Code:

//load config
require("./admin/config.php");

// init db **********************
// load db class
$dbclassname="./admin/db_$dbservertype.php";
require($dbclassname);

$DB_site=new DB_Sql_vb;

$DB_site->appname="vBulletin Control Panel";
$DB_site->appshortname="vBulletin (cp)";
$DB_site->database=$dbname;
$DB_site->server=$servername;
$DB_site->user=$dbusername;
$DB_site->password=$dbpassword;

$DB_site->connect();

$dbpassword="";
$DB_site->password="";
// end init db 


this is the simple way to do it, there must be an easy way to do it but I would have to search through all the functions.
