This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

Edit: You could setup a virtual host directive which points to your webspace and use the "User" directive to run that virtual host under.

For example, if you're site was called www.foobar.com, and want it to run under user aceman, then you'd setup a virtual host like this:

<VirtualHost (ip address here)>
ServerAdmin webmaster@www.foobar.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/root
ServerName www.foobar.com
ErrorLog logs/www.foobar.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/www.foobar.com-access_log
User aceman
</VirtualHost>

That way the main server is still running under root or in your case apache and everything else for your website is handled by aceman.

Because then that would mess up the files in my area on the server.

Could be a register_globals issue. Do you have register_globals on or off?

Which version of PHP are you running?

I use PHP Version 4.4.1 and register_globals off

I have V3 Arcade installed, but says it works with V3 Arcade ...

How so? If it had to write out a file, it would be created with your name and group, thus solving the issue that was presented above, correct?

[Coleccromos]

Installed thank you
Could it put on in Spanish for my forum Like she could translate it?

[kylek]

Okay, something wierd today, the arcade seemed to have lost all the leaderboard scores. Leaderboard when clicked on only has two scores in it when there was tons of scores recorded. The highscore champions are working okay, just seemed to have lost all scores in leaderboard. Anyone else have this happen?

There's a fix for this somewhere buried deep in this thread, or over on the premium mods thread.

I swear, next time we upgrade our arcades, I'll keep a copy of all the after-the-fact fixes so I can help out.

Thanks trilljester!! Good idea of keeping a coppy off the fixes, saves time trying to search which I was doing but couldn't find it.

Thanks again.

Is there a way to configure the PHP.ini file to account for the ownership and maintain that when a script generates a file?

I realize this: PHP runs via your webserver and therefore has the same rights as your webserver. Since most webservers do not run with super-user status (root in Unix/Linux, or administrator in Windows) you will need to make sure the folders and files you want to edit allow the webserver write access.

Mine run fine.. but set the wrong ownership as (apache.apache) so I'm unable to remove files unless I login as ROOT to delete them.

Help please.
Aceman

Aceman, I had the same exact issue that I discovered about 2 weeks ago. And I discovered when messing with the arcade, but after further investigation, found out it had nothing to do with the arcade. Its the way your server is setup and so was mine.

Alright, its the way your server is setup and you need to have your Admin of your server correct this issue.

Have them log into your account with SSH and have them run the following command:

chown -R admin123:admin123 *

Admin123 being your account. This will run through ALL your files and straighten out your server so all permissions/ownership our yours and not Apache's. This issue tends to arise when the server is NOT in High Security mode. I can't help anymore than this cuz I didn't do it, I just know that's how they fixed it on my server. Discovered this issue when I was trying to back my site up to leave that server to go to a new host.

Good luck and hope that helps. Should be enough for you to give to your server admin and send them down the right road to fix this issue.

But what about the other accounts on the server? There are more than just one.

[MortysTW]

Have them log into your account with SSH ......

Keyword being YOUR account. Not the server, but your account on the server.
