Parse Errors in one site, not other using vBPortal hack?

UPDATED 5/7/01 AND SOLVED
Problem was unknown corrupt files, required deletion of site and databases (had a backup), reinstall, and all works perfectly



I've done some hacking on the vbPortal and think it looks damn nice! You can see the test site at:

http://www.boldplans.com/forums/

I have 2 sites with OLM, on different servers although supposed to be setup exactly the same. I followed the exact same procedure at the actual site (thelawforums.com) down to the letter, as I did with boldplans.com, but get loads of parse errors going to the front page of thelawforums http://www.thelawforums.com/forums/. I even FTPed all the files from the boldplans site to the live site, changed the config.php in the admin directory to access the proper database, but this is what I'm getting. I don't understand it at all. [I also notice that while all the templates made the transfer, the colors, absolute path to the images folder, etc. all do not get stored in the .style file (really weird?). ] It would be GREATLY appreciated if someone could help me get it up and running! Thanks wajones -- this is amazing... I'm calling here because we're stuck and I have to get the board back up and running!!

Additionally, I get these warnings using the vbPortal control panel, e.g. "Edit Main Menu".

slinky,

I take it, it is still a no go.. huh.. can you tell me... in your index.php file if one of the errors that is around line 59.. has something like this on or around that line?

//if user is know, then welcome
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
     $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
     eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
     if ($action=="forums") {
        eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logoutcode')."\";");
     }else{
        eval("\$P_logincode = \"".gettemplate('P_logoutcode')."\";");
     }
     eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_newposts')."\";");
} else {

Just curious.. as to how we can fix this up for ya.

hi!
this works for me... hope for you
just put in your PHP.INI

magic_quotes_sybase = Off

this solves the problem

I have no idea what was wrong and it was nothing contained in the scripts. Fresh installs would not work. Even a fresh install of php4 and vbulletin.

Solution: I deleted the entire site, moved it onto another area and it works beautifully. The vbportal hack that I hacked works great too. I'm going to post up my site to the site list now that its done. http://www.thelawforums.com/forums/

Thanks guys. Hopefully after going through all this hell I can now give some advice back!
