Installation Problems

[velociteen]

Keep getting this error when trying to access: http://www.velociteen.com/forum2/forum/cmps_index.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bt4t/public_html/forum2/forum/cmps_index.php on line 31

Here's what the cmps_index.php file coding looks like right now:

<?php

if (!is_dir($forumpath))
{
echo 'Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.';
exit;
}

chdir($forumpath);
}

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>

What am I doing wrong? :S

Any help is much appreciated; I'm a newbie, by the way...

You've added an extra apostrophe in your code.

$forumpath = ''/forum2/forum/';

Remove that and it will take care of the parse error. If/when you get an 'Invalid Forum Path' error after correcting the first one, see this link.

Okay, just changed it; now, I'm getting a different error - tried following the instructions on that FAQ page as well (used the forum path found on that PHP file).

Error:

Warning: require_once(./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bt4t/public_html/forum2/forum/index.php on line 43

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/bt4t/public_html/forum2/forum/index.php on line 43

What I put for coding:

Make sure there the file exists in your FTP
try going to

public html>forum2>forum> (check in the forum folder for global.php also)includes>vba_cmps_include_template.php
Make sure you uploaded those files into the correct folder and make sure you linked everything up to the correct address.

If they don't exist than upload everything in the upload folder for vbadvanced into forum2/forum/ and it should work fine after that. Just make sure you don't overwrite the config.php file. If you need more help just send me a PM and I will be glad to see what I can do.

[velociteen]

In which folder do these files have to be placed?

I have vba_cmps_global.php and vba_cmps_include_template.php

Located in public html>forum2>forum>forum>includes>

[topspeedforum]

PM me and I will give you my AOL screen name or just click on the link to my forum and make a post in there.

Judging by your last post, you have an extra forum folder. You can fix that by changing the index.php file to:

$forumpath = '/home/bt4t/public_html/forum2/forum/forum';

vba_cmps_global.php should be in the second forum folder

vba_cmps_include_template.php should be in the includes folder located inside the second forum folder.

Seems like when you made your transfer you copied the forum folder instead of just opening the folder and transferring everything inside. You can try using the code I provided OR you can just reupload the files inside the cmps/forum folder directly into your vbulletin forum folder and keep the code that you have now.

Do you have vBulletin installed? vBulletin is required for any of our products to function. I'm not seeing it anywhere, so I'm guessing you either do not have it installed, or you're uploading all of the CMPS files to the wrong location.

I just noticed that also. CMPS is a vbulletin.com add on and will not work unless you install a copy of vbulletin
