Then why does
vBulletin offer these instructions? I would think they would work if vBulletin put them in their help files.
I am trying it right now though and cannot get it to work.
I get this on my homepage: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEFAULT in /home/content/h/u/m/humyadayada/html/index.php on line 4

And all over vbulletin.com it references these same files, yet has <?#shebang#?> in front of each of the coding, yet the vBulletin instructions for the scripts do not have this. What in the world is that? Do I need it?

OH WOW! I just figured it out and it was easier than all that mess!
I just copied the .index.php file to my desktop and read what it said about deleting the "//" from that one line (they call it an "uncomment") and uploaded it to my root! It worked!
