Thanks, already included it.

is it correct if i write that my root folder is in:

httpdocs/vbnew

?

And I've added the logs to my previous post.

Where are you needing to put a path to your root folder like that?

There was some configuration, but it was the server path.
I included mine now, still no change :/

upload this to your forum root phpinfo.php and look for

DOCUMENT_ROOT

this will give your forum root
you will need this only for /core/include/config.php

in config.php from the forum root
look for

$config['baseurl'] =

put the domain url of the forum

for example

http://www.domain.com/vb5demo

ensure that your .htaccess looks like this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

#needed because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

# Use PHP 5.3
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

have you ran the install script

core/install/install.php

?

Are you sure both config files are setup correctly, were you able to install the script.
Where exactly are you getting the error.
Also this would probably be best asked at vb.com.
