not sure what i did...

[baker]

i do not have any clue what went wrong. everything was working well then i closed all windows and reopened my forums and "Invalid Page Specified"

i can not log in to anything. i tried to upload all the vBa files and re-reun the install but i just get the same "Invalid Page Specified" error. so i cannot even un install this. please help asap!!!

web site is www.metrodubs.com/forums

[baker]

okay i renamed my original vbulletin "index.php" to "forums.php" and the original vBa "cmps_index.php" to "index.php"
it seems that i must have accidentally removed a forward slash, because it tries to look for these files in the public_html folder not the /forums folder
i cannot log into anything, and the only way i could actually log out was to delete all cookies.

okay, i woke up early today and i re-uploaded all the vBulletin files and the cmps files, when i try to run the cmps intall file, it is asking me to log in, when i try to do that i get the "Invalid Page Specified" still. so i am guessing there is a database table error someplace.

i'm not trying to bump, just keeping a log of my actions and progress. hopefully to make the fix as quick and painless as possible.

It sounds like you integrated your forum pages and then deleted the CMPS page that you used to integrate with.
Open up your includes/config.php file and add this code to the bottom, just above the ?> tag.
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Upload that file and you should then be able to login to your Admin CP. After you do, go back to the "Integration" link and use the options there to remove at least 'login.php' from your integration settings. Once you do that and save the integration settings, you should be able to remove that code you added to your config.php file.

Sorry, I forgot that vB does not add that to their config.php file by default for some reason. Just add it at the very end of the file on a new line though and that should be fine.

[baker]

done and i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/metrodub/public_html/forums/index.php on line 47


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
never mind.. i had to rename the php files back to original

[baker]

Did you run the admincp/vbacmps_install.php file? Have you disabled plugins either in your vB settings or in your includes/config.php file?

Looks like you have some invalid code either in your "Media Player" module or in your custom style.
