Installing cmps after vb upgrade to 4.1

[Hawkmoth]

Hello. Sorry to sound like some noob. But English is not my first language.

We have been using the portal software at our website for many years but we recently upgraded from 3.6 to 4.1. I think I have all the files in palce but I'm not getting a portal page.

I read through it again for about the 15th time. (The read me file that came with the download.)

Today I read at http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersare...id=1#goinglive the following:

To replace your current forum's homepage with the CMPS:
vBulletin 4.x

Delete the vBulletin index.php file from your server.
Rename your cmps_index.php file to index.php.
Login to your vBulletin Admin CP and go to vBulletin Options => Forums Home Page Options => Script Name for Forum Home Page. Change this setting to 'forum' (without the quotes) and save your settings.
Still in your Admin CP, navigate to vBa CMPS => Default Settings => Main Options => CMPS URL. Change this setting to "/index.php" (without the quotes).

Which I tried. but I had an error message. Something like please specify correct path or something.

I was able to follow those steps above and I got the error message but then I was able to change it back very quickly to get rid of the message. Sorry to sound like a noob but I am trying to understand all these things in a different language.

So I'm still doing something wrong but I don't know what it is and I don't have paypal so I can't ask anyone to do this for me.

So if anyone might know an answer I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Have you tried the suggestions from our FAQ?
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/faq....uble_forumpath

Hello, Thank you Brian. I have read that.

It says forum path is E:/web/anti when I try the forumpath . php

So I copy and paste that in the cmps_index.php, rename as index.php. load ftp into the sever and it still says: Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.

I'm sorry I don7t quite understand what I am doing wrong.

You should be able to leave the forum path blank since you have vBulletin installed in your root directory.

PHP Code:

$forumpath = '';

Thnak you so much Brian. I tried that and now on the main domain page I get this.

You appear to be running a plugin made for vBulletin 3.x, yet are running vBulletin v4.x
That is what causes the fetch_template() errors

Make sure you are running the correct version of CMPS for the version of vBulletin you have installed.

TY Dragonsys. As I say I am a noob so how would I fix a problem like that? Is that in the admin?

ACP -> Manage Products
Find the one which is old and deactivate it

You can check on vb.org for updated versions of your plugins

[Brian]

It sounds like some of your default CMPS module files were not updated when you upgraded, so I would suggest downloading the files from here again and then upload the /forum/modules folder to your server again, making sure that your FTP program overwrites each file.

Thank you Brian. That's very helpful. I downloaded 4.2.1 and I will try and install that and see how this works.

[Hawkmoth]

Oh. Yay. Now our portal page is back. That was a great idea Brian-san, thank you so much.
