Asking for another install after server change

[kronnos]

Ok i added define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to config.php and now site loads. Ofcourse the style is without any images since I did not copy the style folder and the chatbox and other pluggings do not work.

What do I do next? Should I install the plugins and then remove the code I added to config, then add the plugins I do need?

Also, i will be upgrading this version(3.6.7) to 3.8.1. So the old plugins will not work anyway but there is something I still would want to keep. For example: I have iTrader which I will install the newers version for 3.8.1 but I still want to keep the database from old iTrader. Uninstalling it will delete the database, should should I just add the new itrader on top without uninstalling first?

BTW, what could be causing the problem of me loging in and then having to do it agaian and again. It doesn't save my login info.

To solve your login issue, reset the cookie path & domain in your vB options.

Modifications should always be uninstalled in order to run cleanup of the database.

I cant even log into my admin cp because after I log in , the page loads, and then bang, another login screen.

If I do uninstall the plugin , I would completely lose all the iTrader ratings all the members have earned, so will need to find another way.

Please upload tools.php from the 'do_not_upload' folder of your vBulletin distribution to your admincp directory. Now point your browser to admincp/tools.php.

Reset the cookie Domain and Path to the default values.

Once your problem is fixed please remove tools.php again from the server.

If this does not solve your problems, please clear your browser cookies and cache, restart your browser and try again.

If you do not want to loose your itrader values, then you seem to want to continue to use it and thus you should not remove it (and in fact copy the files from old server for this modification also).

Jeez, that sounds familiar...LOL

Just though I could install the addon again fresh and the one that would work with 3.8.1 but just keep the database. Next time I would have to keep my own dataabse of every single file I upload or change I make to original VB to make it easy to revert

BTW, cookie problem fixed, thank You!
