Ever sice getting Plesk, everything sucks for webhosting. Vbulletin 3 wont install, etc. I manually installed php to see if it fixed things and still get nothing.

I am about to give up and go back to Helm.

Whats on lines 17 & 69 of
C:Inetpubvhostsbadass-servers.comsubdomainsvbtesthttpdocsinstallinstall.php

also is the config fileinclude setup with the correct paths?

Ugg, Windows.

Anyhow, Windows can be very funny with the paths. Make sure you have the proper read and write permishions set. Also, it will not hurt to make the include paths the complate path.

IE: include "./this.php";

Try

include "c:/inetpub/www/this.php";

Also, look at the vBulletin forums for Windows specif as it might be different from Linux.

Line 17:

chdir('./../');

Line 69:

require_once('./install/installcore.php');



And yes, the config is correct.

The include path calls straight from the php.ini file.

2 different servers and the same thing. I thing plesk is a pile of dung. It was a good idea to include a complete package, ie. mysql, php, sql, etc., but the support for them blow. If I wanted to upgrade php, well, it screws the whole thing up.

I all have MailEnable pro, which I installed, and it turned into a nightmare.

No wonder why SM gave PLESK away free. I guess I'll learn it and repair it and probably make a hacked version that works.

I am not giving up yet. I love the challenge.

Have you tried installing there test script?

For example, I ran there test script on my server and this was the only output error:

magic_quotes_gpc must be off for vBulletin to work correctly, ask your host to change this in php.ini

I am sure I could easily disable that in the php.ini

It could be something as easy as this but without knowing it could be the problem.

Here is the link to the test script:

vBulletin should run on your system without any errors

???? LOL

Ok, here is what is strange, it works in the inetpubwwwroot good with about the same permissions as the vhost. So I know its not a php or mysql problem. It something with PSA permissions I think. I tinkered with the security setting and psa host and enable everything and still get this error. From the default website, I get none and it installs.

I just need a little patience and find the coder that did the permissions for Plesk, to have a little wall to wall counseling.

What is funny is the swsoft (Plesk) uses vbulletin on their website. They shoulda done some testing.

One more thing, vb 2.4 installs in vhost. vb3 is the issue.

Thanks for the reply rsaylor.

Okay.

1. Upgrading PHP or MySQL is simple if you know how to admin a server. If you don't know how to admin a server, you shouldn't be upgrading them.

2. Yes, plesk 6.5.2 is quirky. Can't deny that. Have you simply tried changing the "./filename or dir" to "filename or dir". This is common knowledge if you check the plesk forums.

4. C:windowsphp.ini is the location of the PHP.INI file.

Did you resolve this issue? I am having the same problems!

By the looks of the website, I'd say he gave up.
