Admin CP Index.php not loading...

[Animension]

I just had to reinstall VB3, as it went insane on me before with errors. Now I've reinstalled vb3 and the Admincp/index.php file won't work! The sidebar shows up, and all other Admincp/ files work, but index.php keeps loading. I have never had this problem before, and I did reinstall and reupload the admincp dir to no success.

I doubt the cause could be Im using the same db and dir as my older vb3 forums, but the dir and db were both emptied beforehand, so what can be this problem?

I'm not using IE5. I'm using Opera 7.

Why did you have to reinstall? Did you empty the database before proceeding with the install?

[Animension]

I had to reinstall because half of my files somehow disappeared from my server. They werent in any directory. And I thought it would be easier to just re-modify all of the files instead of doing it to the files that disappeared. (I had a hacked board). Now the board isn't hacked yet this is still happening, and I did empty out the database beforehand.

Then all I can think of is that something didn't go right with your install. I suggest reuploading all the files and installing again.

I just reinstalled my new boards, and I still don't get an admincp/index.php . I even redownloaded a new vBulletin 3 file. When I go to AdminCP, the sidemenu loads but the index.php part just stays white, and acts like its loading but it isnt. It just gets slower and slower gradually..

I completely deleted the database, and made a new one, new name and new username. The only thing that is the same is the directory in my forums (httpdocs/adrf/)

Once again it looks like one or more files are missing. I don't know what else would cause this.

[Animension]

I dont understand though... how can a file be missing when its from a freshly unzipped package?

[Steve Machol]

I didn't mean they are missing from the zip file. I meant it would appear they are missing from your server.

Sounds like there is a problem with your server that will also affect remote avatars from working does.

<?php
 
 $fp = fopen("http://www.google.com");
 if ($fp)
 {
 echo "connection worked";
 fclose($fp);
 }
 ?>

I did a search for "$fp = fopen("http://www.google.com");" in the file and it returned no results (in admincp/index.php) Could this be the problem?

I believe that was just a test script he wanted you to upload to see if your server could handle a remote connection to google.

I would say delete the forum directory entirely. Don't just upload all of the new files over the old ones, remove it entirely. Then recreate the folder and try installing again.

Thats what I've been doing though.

Can you make a file called test.php and place the contents of the file above within it and have a go to see if it works in your browser.

I believe your server has a configuration problem preventing the above from happening.

Heh, try this..

<?php

$fp = fopen("http://www.google.com","r");
if ($fp)
{
echo "connection worked";
fclose($fp);
}
?>
