Locked out of admincp

[morgandy]

I have been working on the vPortal install since Friday, with no support responses to assist in fixing or uninstalling from them. So, I have done the un-install per their threads, AND requested of 3 mods/developers there via PM to assist, with no response, but am completely locked out of my admincp for vBulletin at this point. I probably need to completely re-install the vb, but hoping you guys can help out so I don't. It seems it's turned into a vb issue now because of the portal stuff.

When I try to login, I get the following:

Warning: main(DIR/includes/functions_login.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/csea/public_html/forums/login.php on line 38

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_login.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/csea/public_html/forums/login.php on line 38

The portal install isn't supposed to mess with the vb files, from what I understood, but it looks like I have to edit something in the bulletin files now.

My path to the forums is public_html/forums - now I have always 'assumed' the public_html was my 'root', even though it's imbedded in the directory csea\public_html. So double checking with you guys.

Please, anyone who can help, I so appreciate it. We've been down for almost 3 days now, and I give up on the portal forums for any help.

If you respond, please be very very specific in the steps I need to take.

thx..

Try blocking plugins via your config file and see if that helps, then you can login and delete all the plugins for the hack

[morgandy]

Wow, fast!! How do I block them? Comment them out?

[GaryP]

theres a line that you have to add to your config file right at the top just below the <?php

I think it is

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

or at least I've seen that line somewhere before

[morgandy]

Well, this is what I have now:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I try to login, and the same message happens. Any other thoughts?

[GaryP]

I don't know then. Sorry.

[morgandy]

I think it is somewhere here in my login.php file, could you look over these 2 lines, I think this 'might' be where it is off:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_login.php');

or, could it be in the /functions_login.php maybe?

thx!

You have lost your definition of the constant 'DIR'.

This is defined in init.php, which is called by global.php - try uploading your original init.php and global.php files.

[morgandy]

Sorry, I typed all this, forgot the error has now changed when I try to get to the forums: it is now:

Warning: Unknown(./../global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required './../global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/csea/public_html/forums/global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 1

Now read the below because it is this new message my comments refer to.

I first tried doing a full restore from the backup I made a few days ago, same error. Now I've tried taking the original 2 files again you mentioned, and uploading those, same error. I'm wondering 2 things; could my license number have been corrupted or taken out during all I've done, and if so, how do I input it again?

Secondly, should I change anything in this line of the config.php file?

// ******** FULL PATH TO FORUMS DIRECTORY ******
// On a few systems it may be necessary to input the full path to your forums directory
// for vBulletin to function normally. You can ignore this setting unless vBulletin
// tells you to fill this in. Do not include a trailing slash!
// Example Unix:
// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '/home/users/public_html/forums';

Thanks for anything at all you can think of. Doing the full restore I 'thought' should've finally resolved all this.

Can someone figure out this issue?? I really am starting to think I need to plug the license number back in somewhere, without having to do a re-install. I just don't know what file it would go in, and if I'd enter it in plain text or not.Perhaps it is not a license issue, but, I'll take ANY and ALL suggestions to get our site back up.

thx!!!

Maybe try to upload all files to your server again.
