I am not running it on the forum directory I want it to be at http://www.ultimaforce.net/

when ever I click that link it tells me forbiden but when I enter http://www.ultimaforce.net/vbindex.php I get the series of errors shown above

Can you please help me ?

Line 26 of vbindex.php , you have to change the chdir to the dir of your forum. It must be chdir('./forum'); (if you haven't corrected the path, it's written forums)

I have edited that line this is what I have it set too

PHP Code:


			
// relitive path to forums directory

// un-comment and set the path if vBindex is not run from the forums root directory

chdir('./forum');

require('./global.php');

I have just updated my index to 2.1 and for some reason now...my news in the middle doesnt show my text from the post..

www.evolutionaryconcepts.com
on the front page it just shows the title if the post, and then the real full post..blah blah...but there isnt any of the posts text..I have it set to 60 characters for each one.

Thanks for any replies.

Try using:

PHP Code:


			
// relitive path to forums directory

// un-comment and set the path if vBindex is not run from the forums root directory

chdir('/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ultimaforce.net/httpdocs/forum');

require('./global.php');

Instead, perhaps the full path will work, I'm asuming thats your full path

vBindex 2.1 work fine with 2.2.9

Probably a syntax error somewhere.

require('./cupboards/global.php');
