Error After Installing VB5

[RestChaos]

Hi,

I followed the instructions to install vB5. I finished the installation and now when I try and access the forums I get the following:

[B]Fatal error: Class 'vB' not found in [B]/home/content/16/9941816/html/forums/includes/vb5/template.php on line [B]86[/B][/B][/B]

========
Update:

I just realized that I can access my admincp at:

mywebsite.com/forums/core/admincp

One thing I noticed is that in the "Site Name / URL / Contact Details" in the admin cp it says my Forum URL is:

http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/core

My actual URL is really:

http://www.mywebsite.com/forums

The problem is, when I try and change it to the real URL it messes up the admin CP and I can't do anything or see anything. I have reverted it back to the original URL, but that is not the correct root.

The admincp URL should not have /core in it.

You need to make sure your config files have the correct information in them.

[Merjawy]

The setting in AdminCP is correct, the URL in there should end with /core
When accessing AdminCP, you should use /forum/admincp not /froum/core/admincp

Make sure you use www when you access AdminCP. Also, you might want to try adding /index.php at the end.

[Hartmut]

Did you upload the .htaccess (for apache; or web.config for ISS)? vB5 needs mod_rewrite to work.

[soniceffect]

Would check both of your config files to ensure you edited everything required of you to edit.

[ian@compass]

I'm having the same issue and it's killing me...

[B]Fatal error: Class 'vB' not found in [B]/nfs/c08/h04/mnt/124112/domains/forums.compassclassroom.com/html/vb5/includes/vb5/template.php on line [B]129
[/B][/B][/B]

How can I remedy this? I"ve followed the Sticky Upgrade to VB5 to the "T" and double checked it.

Here's my config file:

//    ****** 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'] = 'forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5';




// 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['orums.compassclassroom.com/vb5'];


    // 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 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__)) . '/nfs/c08/h04/mnt/124112/domains/forums.compassclassroom.com/html';


    // This is the url and web based path to your core directory
$config['baseurl_core'] = $config['baseurl']  .  'forums.compassclassroom.com/';

Thanks for the help... been quite a frustrating paid upgrade.

You edited 3 lines that should have been left alone, and didn't have the protocol for your baseurl.

Try what I have posted above.

[ian@compass]

Ace, thanks for your help. Greatly appreciate it.

After making those above changes... my url forums.compassclassroom.com forwards to http://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5/core/forum.php and there seems to be no CSS or design elements.

update*****

my /admincp page seems to look fine.

while poking around the admincp pages I got this error when looking at banned users:

[B]Notice: Constant VB_ENTRY already defined in [B]/nfs/c08/h04/mnt/124112/domains/forums.compassclassroom.com/html/vb5/core/modcp/global.php on line [B]20

another update*****

after this broken upgrade version process I get these SQL error emails... often:

WHERE post.threadid = 146

Please remove ALL vB4 files before uploading vB5 files.

It was an upgrade... into a fresh (empty) directory called /vb5...

You want me to delete the other, older, vb4 files from my original core directory?

[Hartmut]

If you use a new, seperate folder for vB5 you don't have to delete that.

[ian@compass]

If you use a new, seperate folder for vB5 you don't have to delete that.

So how do you recommend I proceed?

1. my base URL forwards to http://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5/core/forum.php showing "/core" which can't be right.

2. the correct directory (for my VB5 install) won't show any design functions: http://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5/

3. I can log into my /admincp but there are some issues here and there... for the most part it seems to function correctly.

Thanks.

Again, here's my config:

    //    ****** 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

$config['baseurl'] = 'forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5';




// 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';

$config['cookie_prefix'] = 'bb';

$config['cookie_enabled'] = true;


$config['report_all_php_errors'] = false;
$config['no_template_notices'] = true;


// 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';

[wave-rice]

Are you sure you've filled out your config right. Try using this one. Don't need to make changes, I've done it for you:

   //    ****** 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://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5';




// 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 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';

See if this works because I think you may have messed your config file up by mistake when you edited it.

Edit: You're missing the 'http://' on $config['baseurl']

1. my base URL forwards to http://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5/core/forum.php showing "/core" which can't be right.

There is no forum.php in vB5. Not sure what you are trying to...

Thanks! That worked for forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5

I'm still having the issue of my base URL, forums.compassclassroom.com, forwarding to http://forums.compassclassroom.com/vb5/core/forum.php

Is this a .httaccess issue?
