again, index.php is blank

As with earlier thread - double checked install and settings - looks good.

index.php is blank.

Have you recently upgraded your version of vBulletin?
Double check in your style manager that you have all of your CMPS templates (listed under 'vBadvanced CMPS templates').
If you have upgraded or you don't have your templates, upload the install file to your admincp directory, go to it in your browser, and select the option to install only the templates.

I just upgraded from VB 2 - VB 3 ; works great.

Installed VBACMPS - > success

Re-installed VBACMPS templates - they show up in the style / templates manager. Good.

INDEX.PHP is still blank :) - I double checked the physical directory for the forums, its /htdocs/blah/blah/username/nissanclub.com/forums THAT should be okay.

I just dont know. This worked on my developers server.

What do you think is causing this?

maybe is the chdir? I am rooting OUTSIDE of forums directory, but the CHDIR should be proper:

<?php
// ++=========================================================================++
// || vBadvanced CMPS v1.0 RC2 ||
// || © 2003-2004 vBadvanced.com & PlurPlanet, LLC - All Rights Reserved ||

// ++ ========================================================================++

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adv_index');
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);

// ============================================
// Enter the full path to your forum here
// Example: /home/vbadvanced/public_html/forum
// ============================================

chdir('/htdocs/users/c02997/manders/nissanclub.com/html/forums');

// ============================================

// ============================================

require_once('./global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>

Should I change it to ./forums instead? I don't think that will fix it.

That is what I have in mine.

Just tried ./forums

Same blank. Nothing.

I would try that and see if it helps. If not, would you mind filling out a support ticket via the Member's Area here so I can have a look?

Brian, before admin access can you suggest things to double check. Any special templates behavior? I checked that they are all there - they are. They are however customized by my web designer - but it worked on their server. Not sure what the issue could be.

Other than those things there's not much else I can think of off the top of my head. Where exactly is the script located though? I tried going to http://nissanclub.com/index.php and http://nissanclub.com/cmps_index.php, but it doesn't seem to be at either of those URL's...

[Nissanclub.com]

It would be http://www.nissanclub.com/indexbeta.php

Okay, now I resolved the Blank problem.

Now when I execute the indexbeta.php (cmps index) it OVERLOADS the server, stays blank processing - but server load sky rockets.

SOLUTION

With a large forum with millions of posts and thousands of users - DISABLE all modules that deal with stats, new posts and etc. Also - be very careful as to which forums you choose to troll for new posts and news. The smaller the forum the better the load time, duh.

Good luck
