New Installation - Upload files? - Zend or Ioncube?

Hi,

New customer here.

I'm not too clear on uploading the files. Are VBSEO files are to be added to the existing vBulletin folders? As far as I can remember, all the other mods I've added to my blogs and CMS'es just required uploading an entire folder to the /plugin/ directory. Not so with vbSEO? Am I supposed to manually drag (add) all the vbseo files to the existing vbulletin folders?

Also, I renamed my modcp and admincp for security reasons ... any problems with that?

And Zend or Ioncube? Your test script green-checked both on my server. I've been reading your forum for a while. It seems that IonCube is the way to go, but the test script is suggesting Zend. Which one should I use?

thanks,
Quint

Hello,

you should upload all files from the "upload/" folder to your forums root, so you will have:
http://yourforumsroot/vbseo.php
http://yourforumsroot/vbseocp.php
http://yourforumsroot/vbseocpform.php
http://yourforumsroot/includes/function_vbseo.php
etc.

Also, I renamed my modcp and admincp for security reasons ... any problems with that?

You should upload files from "admincp/" and "modcp/" folder in vBSEO package to your custom folders on server.

And Zend or Ioncube? Your test script green-checked both on my server. I've been reading your forum for a while. It seems that IonCube is the way to go, but the test script is suggesting Zend. Which one should I use?

It means that you have Zend Optimizer installed in php.ini and although it is possible to use dynamic Ioncube loader, it is suggested to use Zend version of vBSEO in this case.

I ran a backup analysis of the vbseo-upload/ and vbulletin-root/ trees.

48 vbseo files to move to the vbulletin tree, no over-writes

in the vbseo-upload/ tree there are 25 files with "vbseo" in the name (and 1 folder)

in the vbulletin-root/ tree there are 0 files with "vbseo" in the name

in vbseo-upload/images/vbseo/ there are 15 more files
in vbseo-upload/ioncube/ there are 8 more files
neither of these two folders exist in vbulletin-root/

25 + 15 + 8 = 48

There are no over-writes and I guess I can revert if necessary, so I'm going to give this a try.

I see you replied while I was typing that. Thanks for the quick response.

So Zend huh? ... okay
