reinstalling Vbulletin

Can I reinstall vbulletin and keep all the posts if I link it to the same database? I have an error and rather then trying to figure this out I thought I could reinstall it but dont want to lose my posts and such.

 

Yeah You can

delete all the files using FTP or from Filemanager, Upload and extract the installation files again... install it to another Database, then go to config gile and change it to the old one

Simple

 

If you still have the error, you will still get it. Re-Installing won't help. Can you post your error here?

 

What if it was a corrupted install and that was making the problem? Or some CHmod Issues?

Well, Problems always doesnt be with the Databse

Thanks.

 

well for some reason wont le tme post it something about links. I did post the problem so you could if you wanted find my other post.

 

I've found your post, Try disabling vBAdvanced in the AdminCP.

 

I cant get to the admin cp

ok I can get to the log in page but then when I hit log in I get this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/g/a/m/gameapbt/html/forums/global.php on line 273

the site was fine 2 weeks ago and no changes have been made. It just did this on its own

 

Add this in config.php under <?

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', 1);

PHP:

So it would look like this

<?
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', 1);

PHP:

Then go into admincp and disable vBAdvanced.

________


Shortcut: Reupload ALL vBAdvanced files

 

under <?php ?

I did then got this when I tried logging in

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/g/a/m/gameapbt/html/forums/global.php on line 273


this is frustrating

 

Try this

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

PHP:

 

that didnt work either

 

if you legally purchase the license then you are entitled to support

I get a white page something must be wrong with the database then,. Think I am gonna throw in the towel I dont want to redo all the posts and such

 

ah ok got the site up so now its just the home page so it must be the vbadvanced. thanks for your help guys. just gonna redirect it for now I have a headache.
