In includes/class_core.php, find:

PHP Code:

   eval('$message = "' . str_replace('"', '\"', file_get_contents(DIR . '/includes/database_error_page.html')) . '";');
   die($message); 


And replace by:

PHP Code:

   eval('$message = "' . str_replace('"', '\"', file_get_contents(DIR . '/includes/database_error_page.html')) . '";');
   if (VB_AREA != 'NonVB')
   {
    die($message);
   } 


Then in the top of your non vb page script:

PHP Code:

define('VB_AREA', 'NonVB'); 


PS This is not tested.
