Re-insert license number without re-installing???

[morgandy]

Please see this thread for more background if necessary: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=119655

My main question right now, is what file can I plug my license number back into since I think it was corrupted with vPortal install/uninstall and the vBulletin being restored. I 'think' the error I'm getting now 'might' have to do with the license number being missing; the thread above shows more detail as I said.

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

Have you tried uploading all stock vBulletin files?

[morgandy]

Should I not upload my customized config.php? And what others should I not re-upload then?

thx...

Given that the stock vB files don't include config.php .. no need to re-upload that yet.

If you upload all stock files and disable all plugins, and it still doesn't work, config.php might be needed to be looked at.

ok, I'm going to re-upload the stock files..in the meantime, how do I disable plug-ins? All I hve is chat, and I'm not sure that's considere a plug-in. thx agan..

So what your saying is at renewal its a ballache? Shouldn't this be made simple?

Me not looking forward to renewal in September

The error you got has nothing to do with a license number.

It looks more like an error in a plugin.

To disable all plugins, edit you config.php file and add the following line immediate under the first "<?php":

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
