CMPS on main domain ?

I want to install this on it's own domain. I have my cmps at:

www.stepheniansonline.com/forum/home.php

And forums at :

www.stepheniansonline.com/forum/index.php


I want the cmps to be on the domain like when someone opens the site it should come on the main domain i.e. : www.stepheniansonline.com

Can anyone guide me on how to do that

Thanks in advance!

Mike

you put your cmps_index.php at the root of your www folder in your ftp server

i'm french, maybe i didn't understood the question...

... and then rename it from cmps_index.php to index.php (or whatever else your server recognizes as the default file index). Just make sure that you modified your cmps_index.php file to have the correct path in it to your forums.

I'm trying to do the same, and I've now got a renamed cmps_index.php file in my root folder (now called index.php) and still have the default vBulletin index.php in the /forum folder - but when I go to www.mydomain - which now starts off the cmps file, I get these error messages. Is there some other twiddling I need to do?

The error is....

Warning: main(/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxxx/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /xxxxxx/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

Anyone?

Is there a fundamental reason why I can't have the cmps_index.php (renamed to index.php) in the root directory and yet still have the default VBulletin index.php (and all other files) in the /forum directory?

Initially I get this error message if I have the cmps_index.php file in the root directory...

Warning: main(./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxxx/public_html/index.php on line 44

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /xxxxxx/public_html/index.php on line 44

Where line 44 and 45 are

require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./global.php');

The obvious reason for the error is that it's not looking in the /forum folder for those files - so if I add /forum to those lines I then get the error I had in post #5...

Warning: main(/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxxx/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /xxxxxx/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

where line 20 is

require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

Is it just not possible to get it to work if you have the cmps_index.php and VBulletin index.php files in different folders? If it is possible, am I missing a setting? What exactly should I have typed into the CMPS CP for the CMPS URL?

Thanks for any help.

CMPS works wonderfully in the root folder. Did you edit the cmps_index.php so that the forum folder variable is correct?

[vectra-c.com]

The line in the cmps_index.php file is pointing to the forum folder....

$forumpath = '/xxxxxx/public_html/forum';

And is that the correct full path? If you're not sure then inside of the vBa CMPS download package is a folder called "Extra (do not upload)" and inside of that folder is a file named "forumpath.php" -- Upload that file to your forums folder and run it. That script will attempt to determine the value you want put in the cmps_index.php file.

After that go into you ACP and check vBa CMPS => Default Settings => CMPS URL to make sure that the correct value is in there.

After that go into ACP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details and make sure the various URL & path values are correct.
