WTF Seriously!!

[DAMINK]

Too late. I rolled back
Only lost 3 weeks which is not the end of the world.
I have mostly got my forum running again now with a few small errors.
Check out the home page and you will see the errors i am getting.

Also i cant access my ACP anymore. Getting a different error there.

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/ftwforum/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4070) : eval()'d code
Line: 51

But i am close. I expect i may even be lucky enough to get it up and running properly today

Do you have this enabled under Options->General Settings?

Add Template Name in HTML Comments

[DAMINK]

I cant access the ACP to check mate.
Trying to reup the includes folder again.
When i was uploading them earlier today at one point during the upload the forum began to work perfectly. Then once it finished i got errors lol.
I really cant win on this one.

[DAMINK]

Ok i ran tools in acp again and rebuilt the templates and got it to no sql errors for not logged in and 2 for logged in which are.

Now i still can not access the ACP because it says

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/ftwforum/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4070) : eval()'d code
Line: 51

So close now but yet so far.

I had a similar error a few months ago, about the header already sent, I believe it was a mod that was causing the error, you're getting this even with the plugin system disabled? I think I ended up uninstalling all my mods and then installing them one by one. Can't say for sure you're getting the exact same error message I got then. I think I was able to get in by using tools.php, and I there's a setting there that let me in back when I had the problem. It's the cache or something like that.

[DAMINK]

I tried updating the cache with the tools.php file.<br>That did not change anything.<br>I cant turn off the mods because i cant access the ACP currently.<br>I wish i would have stopped the FTP when the forum come back online properly. But decided to let the last 30 meg of files update. Got me buggered if i can replicate it though.<br><br>

[Boofo]

Have you turned of all products via the config.php yet? And do you use Photopost?

[DAMINK]

How do i disable from config mate?<br>I did look in there and could not see an option.<br>Never heard of Photopost sorry. <br>Are you talking about the breaks. Yea got me buggered why they are coming up.<br>I only use the quick reply so perhaps that is why?<br>

[Destron]

You can turn off the plugin system by putting the following line in your config.php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
right after the first line: <?php

<br><br>Yep that fixed it mate. Now i can repair.<br>Thankyou mate. <br>Really at this point it appears my forum is back online.<br>Despite me cracking the ****s and effectively being a bit of a dick i have received countless support here and i am truely thankful for that.<br>Honestly without everyone i would never have got this back online.<br>Thankyou heaps VB Community. <br>Shall i forever eat my own words. IE first couple of posts in this thread.<br><br>BUT IT APPEARS TO BE FIXED x 1000<br> <br>

No, I was asking about Photopost on your site as I had the header error problem on that a long time ago when I used to use it.

Best of luck

[DAMINK]

Well i can say now after enabling mods etc that my forum is back and running.
Am i game to try upgrade again lol. Nope. Not yet anyway.
But wow quite thankful to all who offered assistance.

I always suggest testing any upgrade before you do it. See this article on how to create a test site:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/content.php?225-Creating-A-Test-Site

I also run the following Cron based backup modification from Paul M over at vbulletin.org. This may help you for having more current backups going forward:

Yes i use that cron backup.
Ironically the script had stopped working for the last 3 weeks due to a full server i was unaware of actually.
I posted that in an earlier post here.
