Getting "Access Denied" on Today's Posts and What's New?

[TamiTaylor]

that's a 644 like the rest of the search files. I got this from my server help ticket:

When running the search.php from command line, it simply gives an 'Access denied.' message:

root@cre [/home/cp0774/public_html/forums]# php search.php
Access denied.

Using strace to follow the system calls that are made, it seems that the last file opened is forums/vb/search/core.php:

open("/home/cp0774/public_html/forums/vb/search/core.php", O_RDONLY) = 5
fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=17802, ...}) = 0
open("/home/cp0774/public_html/forums/vb/search/core.php", O_RDONLY) = 6
fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=17802, ...}) = 0

And the first line in this file is:

root@cre [/home/cp0774/public_html/forums]# head -1 vb/search/core.php
<?php if (!defined('VB_ENTRY')) die('Access denied.');

This is where the error is coming from. Unfortunately, we aren't familiar enough with vbulletin to know why VB_ENTRY is not defined, or where it should be defined. That's something that the developers will need to help you with, however, you know where the problem is, just not what the problem is, and that should go a long way towards getting this resolved.

Does this help? I'm so sorry I just do not understand. Thank you for all of the help.
