Hi all,

I am running a LICENSED vb on my localhost just for testing(the same files licensed as running on the real domain and host), and I've noticed that vb admincp has been sending something out of my computer, and just a few minutes ago, I couldn't view the forum list in my admincp, neither one in admincp on my localhost and the one on the real host work. Can I have an explaination please?

It communicates with Jelsoft servers for license verification and new version checks.

The problem sounds very familar to me.

IIRC it was/is a very wierd bug with Apache 1, Win98 and vb3.
I were not able to fix that once myself, but after i used Win2000/XP for my localhost, it worked again?

I'm using Win2003 Apache 2, is that matter? And the one on the real host doesn't work either(the forum list in the Forum Manager doesn't come up, just the global annou), Unix Apache 1.

I think it's not about the environment vb running on, I think it's about license things and after Jelsoft servers checked I'm running one on the real registered domain and one 127.0.0.1, so it disables some functions for my license. Sorry if I got it wrong?

Nope, look at the attachment, that's all I have for Forum Manager

Well the reason for that is you have an option in the vBulletion Option section of your admincp set to collapse all forums in the forum manager IIRC. Either way I've set up localhosts 4 times and vB works fine. It is a setting on your end and not due to vB

AnhTuanCool · #6 10-30-2004, 01:18 PM

Oh, great, I've just switch it back to default and the Forum manager forums list works fine. Thank you guys and sorry for a bit angry, cause I didn't know how it had been changed to another option like that.

Thank you again

It uses fopen, or fsockopen (depends) to fetch a file from version.vbulletin.com which it uses to display the latest version in your admincp. There was some debate over this issue as of late so I won't post the exact code. But if you take a peek at /admincp/index.php you'll find it

Logikos · #9 10-30-2004, 11:35 PM

I take that code out, I can't stand waiting for vBs servers.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
