He's on vacation for the week if I recall correctly so he won't get to it until next week.

That's the thing I prefer not giving any admin access away, even for testing. Security reasons.

Kinda hard for the Hack Coder to diagnose your issue if you wouldnt give him access.

goto your admincp, look to the left, click on the mgc area. And enable the commands and for the groups you want them allowed for.

ionCube Loader is enabled (seeing we were forced to), but from my understanding it was removed (requirements) from the chatbox on newer versions.

short_open_tag is off.

mod_security cannot be found in the php information.

And I understand that it's difficult to diagnose the issue without access, but I was hoping multiple people would have the same issue as me for a quicker solution.

[Ranger187]

Just an update, we should have a new version shortly. No ETA (as of yet) so please don't keep asking when because I don't know yet.

ioncube was removed I think from v3.2.2 or v3.2.3

i have since disabled the mod as its causing too many issues unfortunately and the users are just griping away..

so i await for the next update in hopes that it will fair better. with less loading errors and less issues with server being busy etc.

Sid, I'm not sure as to when the update will be released. If you goto our forums and submit the issue I can guarantee it will be addressed by MGC.

Register here:
http://www.mgcproducts.com/

Post the issue here:
http://www.mgcproducts.com/forumdisp...-Free-products

And I can also work with you to resolve it later today. But register to our forum home page for faster support. If it was working in prior Vbulletin (4.1.x and lower) I'm suspecting it's the new Vbulletin 4.2.x.

Mod security CAN be found in Vbulletin:

To check if there is a Mod_Security issue: AdminCP > Maintenance > Diagnostics > Problematic Webserver Modules > CLICK SUBMIT
If Mod_Security has "yes" that's where the issue lies.
