Index Forumpath Not Working

[Draygonia]

I used forumpath to define the path to my forums and when I use the cmps_index.php I get this error:

Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.

Any reason why this is happening?

Vbulletin: 3.6.0
vBadvanced: 2.2

I just installed vBa 2.2 after upgrading to vBulletin 3.6.0 and I am having the same problem. I have checked the path and it is correct but I still get the error message. What could be happening? Thanks for any help.

Nobody can answer this? :( Than I guess its just a vbadvanced bug?

Okay I figured out my problem with this. I had edited the example code line not the actual forumpath code line. LOL! :p I must be really tired, cause I've been doing this stuff for 2 years now and I'll bet I looked at that cmps_index.php file 5-6 times before I realized what I'd NOT done. I hope my embarrasement helps someone else. ;)

I however am getting this problem and I did type it in right :(

EDIT: ARG! I DONT GET IT! I put in the EXACT path from the forumpath.php! What is going on?!

Odd, I'm having the same problem.

Also notice that the portal version did not change, nor is the portal version appearing in the footer.

[1996 328ti]

Well, I reupload the files. Still no dice.
I decide to uninstall and reinstall.
Well it says I already have the latest version. Grrrrrr!

Edit: So I delete my adv_ tables and start all over.
Still nothing.

I did a little experiment.
I have a test forum with no plugins at all.
A clean install of vB 3.6 Gold.
Installed the last vBa 2.2.

Still 'Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.'
And my forumdisplay page does not show the left column even the I have the proper define statements.

EDIT: is anyone using vBadvanced on anything other than the home page?

http://www.318ti.org/index2.php displays the problem.
http://www.318ti.org/index.php uses a modified version of an older cmps_index.php file.
SAME FORUM PATH!
