I probably misunderstood you.

I remember seeing in admincp there is an option screen for the redirect your url. Do you know which php file that is?

Could someone please go to their admincp....options and find the option for your url. I need to know the path to the file I need to change. Thanks a million in advance.

Okay, I gave up and decided to start by Installing vbbulletin 4.2.3 but it hangs up at step 18 of 33 of the CMS installation. Got an clues as to why?

Is it giving you an error message or is it just not going past that point? If its giving you an error message please post it so that we can see what it is. It would also help to know what the step is that is that number. You can find that out by clicking the button at the bottom showing the details of what is going on as its updating.

No error what so ever it just sits for there forever.
If you restart the install it starts over from scratch asks you about the entries to the database, your forum name and your username and password. Then it goes right to the same spot and hangs up.

I get the exact step and function it is performing tonight when I get home.

Ok also you need to check that your hosting is currently running the proper PHP & MySQL for this version of vBulletin. That could cause it to hang.

vBulletin 4.0.0 - 4.2.2 requires PHP 5.2.0 or greater, and MySQL 4.1.0 or greater, 4.2.2 requires cURL to be installed.
vBulletin 4.2.3 requires PHP 5.4.0 or greater, and MySQL 4.1.0 or greater, and cURL to be installed.

Those are the requirements. You may want to check to see that your server meets them, if not then usually you can just ask the host to upgrade whichever one does not and they will for free....usually.

Here is where it hangs up.......right after 18
Step 18 - Altering cms_nodeinfo Table (1 of 1)
Status: Processing CMS, Step 19 of 33

I checked and then spoke to the hosting company....
msql 5.5.42
PHP5.4 and they offer 5.5.
cURL 7.34

Er ok. Sometimes you gotta give people a chance to at least answer you. People on here are just volunteering to help, they all have other real jobs to do as well.

As far as where it hangs I would think that there is possibly a server issue. Maybe the server is timing out or this is possibly a known problem in which checking on vbulletin.com would not hurt.

Thanks for your help. I read the sticky and followed the instructions to submit a support ticket and they got it going for me. Somewhere in the config.php file it was hanging up. Probably in the cms section.:up:
