As I am looking through all these pages I thought I would post an error I am having trying to install this great mod.

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/f/i/v/fiveo/html/admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong here. I definitely followed the directions to a tee.

Thanks!

Hello, Please take a look at the attached images bellow from Phrase Manager:

I had installed vBindex on my previous vb (3.0.8) version, it was uninstalled and i upgraded vbulletin to 3.5.x and 3.6.x version, Currently i am using vBadvanced CMPS...

Now the question is that i see in my Phrase Manager, there are showing two types of Phrases:

1. vBindex Phrases
2. vBindex Control Panel Phrases

Should i delete them or Not? if Yes then How could i delete them all? will this action effect on vbulletin's default Phrases?

Waiting for response

Thanks.

[mat.knott]

sorry this might be a stupid question....

will this work with vBulletin® Version 3.6.4 as it says 3.0.0

[Veer]

Yeah, May be a stupid question
But i want to ask that how to delete Phrase of vBindex? and will this action effect on vbulletin's default Phrases?
vbindex was uninstalled but the Phrase of vBindex still there in Phrase Manager.
