Hi,
- Bought domain name, pointed their DNS servers to my web hoster.
- Created in cPanel an add-on domain pointing to my forum directory
- Bought a vb5 license, downloaded the files.
- Created the database in cpanel with random username and very complex password
- I followed these instructions to the letter and re-checked the work:
- https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/entr...etin-5-connect
- Uploaded files
- Tried to run http://domain.com/install.php
- Permission denied
- Tried applying 755 perms recursively to the forum dir
- Even tried (for a sec) 777 on install.php, same 'permission denied' message
- My buddy said it's probably an apache issue but it JUST worked with an install of SMF I tried out.
Any clue what's going on here?
- - - Updated - - -
Wait, update. Deleted/recreated the addon domain and was able to view the old forum.
Nope, fail.
Recreated add on domain which created the folder. Dragged old forum into it which worked (after complaining about a path. ez fix)
Removed old forum , dragged new vB5 into it, 403 Forbidden.
awesome.
