Wouldnt it be easier to delete everything then reinstall? The database will still be intracted no?

No do not delete everything, you need to follow the instructions.

[oldfan]

im not sure what this means

Make sure you take your time and find all the shell scripts and hidden files they will be buried in several folders spanning multiple levels within and also spare admin accounts and several new plugins.

Why wouldnt deleting the whole ball of wax work?
I have things in my /public_html/ I cant remember what their for or where I got them

[ozzy47]

By doing that you may make you site inaccessible, if there are things in there that are required for some of your mods to work.

Take your time and follow the instructions, don't look for a easy way out.

If you want to delete it all, what I suggest you do is move all the files to another directory ( /test_move ?) and move it out of the public_hmtl file and then upload all new files. See if you site then runs. If you had any modifications that required files, then make sure you reupload all the files. Check that you can upload avatars and attachments. Check all functionality on your site, and if it works, turn it back on. If it all works for a week or so, then you can delete the other directory ( /test_move ) of the site you made.

that sounds way better then the other way
thanks

Im guessing it didnt work

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

That is why u advised you not to take the easy way out.

If you move all your files out of public_html and the reupload all new vbulletin files to the public_html directory, you will need to reupload all your modification files also. And, any style directories or smilies or avatars/attachments/icons, if stored in the filesystem.

[oldfan]

Im moved out the old files into another dir, then copied them back into the public_html. Then I uploaded the new vbulletin. I have yet to reup any mods/hacks. I'm guessing this is why I'm still getting errors
