    You need to get in touch with your hosts, unless you've been editing templates!
    Kind regards,

        disable plugins/products see if that fixes it.
        Some of my Mods:
        Advanced IP Ban Manager (vb3.6+ version) - Fine grained control over blocking trouble makers.
        Advanced IP Ban Manager (vb4 version) - Fine grained control over blocking trouble makers.
        Use Original thread for Comments - Uses the original thread for comments for any forum threads promoted to CMS articles.

          I cant get to the admin control panel because of this promblem.
          Is there another way?

            To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

            Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

            [Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

            Next, disable all plugins.

            Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

            define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

            Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

            Do you have the same problem?

              I did'nt understand those lines:

Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file.

              Can you explain it more simply?

                - download a copy of the ZIP file from the Members Area for the version you're currently running
                - extract them to your PC
                - upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your server making sure you overwrite what's currently there
                - open AdminCP
                - go to Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions
                - are there any files showing as 'File does not contain expected contents'?

                  What was the latest modification/change that you did to your forum prior to getting that error?

                    I uploaded the files and edited the config.php file, but nothing changed.
                    So I cant enter the Admin Control Panel in the website.

                            Did you do this:

                            Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

                            define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
