[CMS] broken CMS

[dougdirac]

I'm running vB 4.1.10. I tried to enable CMS but it appears to be broken. I tried upgrading to 4.2 on a test server hoping that would fix it but it didn't. So I refreshed the test server back to a copy of my currently running site.

Here's what I get when I click the home button when not logged in:

Any ideas?

Do you have any modifications installed?

If so, disable them.

If not, can you please try downloading the ZIP package from the members area and re-uploading it, preferably using "Auto" for the upload-type?

Sorry can you be a bit more detailed. I'm a novice.

Which specific Zip package should I download? And when you say upload, you mean overwrite some files in my site directory? What do you mean "Auto" upload type?

Sure, sorry about that.

If you go to http://members.vbulletin.com/, you can download the vBulletin ZIP software package. (That's the members' area.)

Yes, when you upload the files you can overwrite the current vBulletin files. (Don't upload the config.php or install.php files.)

If you're using FileZilla, at the top of the window, you should see "Transfer," click on that, then under "Transfer type," select "Auto."

Ahh.. thanks. I'm using SecureFX for ftp. So should I get the files of the vB version I'm currently using (4.1.10) or should I get the 4.2 files?

[Dustin L.]

You need to download the files for the version you're running, so 4.1.10. Once the issue is fixed, consider upgrading to 4.2.0 or at least 4.1.12.



Dustin

[dougdirac]

Ok, I'm gonna give this a try. So first should disable all plug-ins? Including CMS and blogs?

[Dustin L.]

That's not necessary.

You can easily disable them all by adding the following code right under <?php in the existing file config.php:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 

After doing that, you'll need to save that and upload it to your server.

If that doesn't fix the issues, then download the files and re-upload as said earlier.



Dustin

[dougdirac]

welp, no luck. I uploaded all those files and still no change in the behavior?

[Dustin L.]

You'll have to open a ticket with AdminCP/FTP/ perhaps even SSH information if you have it. Nothing I can do from my end, really.

Sorry about that. Never seen this error before.

But before you do that, what version of PHP are you running?

Best,

Dustin

[dougdirac]

I do have a ticket open, but the back and forth is slow. You at least gave me something to try. Thanks for your effort.

Hmmm, PHP 5.3.3. What is your PCRE version?

[dougdirac]

pcre

PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support	enabled
PCRE Library Version	7.8 2008-09-05

[Lynne]

Wow, that is a really, really old version of PCRE. Usually PHP uses at least version 8.x. I was looking to see if it was a common version, 8.21, which has a bug in it. But, you aren't running that version.

any other ideas?
