    Can't Access Admincp After Install

    I've read a lot of threads but nothing really solid on what mistakes everyone is making.

    I can access my admincp using the "core/admincp", but not with the link at the footer. I just installed vB 5.0.3. I just upgraded from vb4.x.

    My htaccess is below

    ~<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Send css calls directly to the correct file VBV-7807
    RewriteRule ^css.php$ core/css.php [NC,L]
    # Redirect old install path to core.
    RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]
    # Main Redirect
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
    # Because admincp is an actual directory.
    RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
    I REMOVED THE REST
    My config is:

    ~
    // ****** Base URLs ******
    // The following settings all deal with the url of your forum.
    // If set incorrectly your site/software will not function correctly.
    // These urls should NOT include a trailing slash
    // This is the url and web path of your root vBulletin directory
    $config['baseurl'] = 'http://www.dabears.com';

    // This will only be used if you wish to require https logins
    // You will not need to change this setting most of the time.
    $config['baseurl_login'] = $config['baseurl'];
    // If you do wish to use https for login, uncomment this line
    // Then fill in your https url.
    //$config['baseurl_login'] = 'https://www.yourdomain.com/folder';

    // ****** System Paths ******
    // This setting allows you to change the name of the admin folder
    $config['admincpdir'] = 'admincp';
    // ****** Cookie Settings ******
    // These are cookie related settings.
    // This Setting allows you to change the cookie prefix
    $config['cookie_prefix'] = 'bb';

    // ****** Special Settings ******
    // These settings are only used in some circumstances
    // Please do not edit if you are not sure what they do.
    // You can ignore this setting for right now.
    $config['cookie_enabled'] = true;
    $config['report_all_php_errors'] = false;
    $config['no_template_notices'] = true;
    // This setting should never be used on a live site
    $config['no_js_bundles'] = false;
    // This setting enables debug mode, it should NEVER be used on a live site
    $config['debug'] = false;
    // Assumes default location of core.
    // These are the system paths and folders for your vBulletin files
    // This setting is for where your vbulletin core folder is
    $config['core_path'] = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/core';
    // This is the url and web based path to your core directory
    $config['baseurl_core'] = $config['baseurl'] . '/core';
    $config['php_sessions'] = false;
    Am I missing something? I keep looking this over, but don't see what I have wrong.

    Thanks in advance!

    Are you running the site in a subfolder from the root folder? Are there other htaccess files?

    When you try to go to the regular /AdminCP/ folder, does anything happen?

      I got this working. Weird thing is, I was running the site from the root.

      when I put vB5 in /forums/ and edited the URL in the config, and admincp and it worked.

      I'm just going to keep it in the /forums folder for now, and run wordpress on the front end.

        I believe this is related to your other issue- http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...-settings-link

          What fixed this for me, is moving my forums from the root (http://www.domain.com) to a /forums (http://www.domain.com/forums) location. I moved it to the forums folder, and changed my configs and admincp to the "forums" and it worked. It was weird. It's like vb5 didn't like my root installation.
