    Help forum broken

    I can't get into my vBulletin control panel after attempting to upgrade

    "The file /var/www/vhosts/seorefugee.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/functions_vbseo.php cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. If you are the administrator of this site then please install the latest version of the ionCube Loader."

    How can I disable vbseo to get back in?

    Make sure you get the latest ionCube loaders for your OS from:

    PHP Encoder, protection, installer and performance tools from ionCube: Loader Download

    Place them in a directory called "ioncube" below your forums directory.



    To disable vBSEO, you can manually edit your config_vbseo.php file (in the includes directory) with a plain text editor, and change this:
    Code:
    define('VBSEO_ENABLED',                  1);
    To this:
    Code:
    define('VBSEO_ENABLED',                  0);

    apparently I'm loading old versions of ioncube automatically.

    I can't change that with my set up.

    I tried disabling vbseo and I'm still getting the same message

    HELP

    I tried deleting some vbseo files but fear I've worsened the problem. I've replaced them but no luck.

    If you delete the vBSEO files, delete the .htaccess file, and disable the vBSEO Product in the vBulletin AdminCP, that should take care of turning it off for sure.

    Thanks, I'm back at version 2.3.1

    We struggled with the ioncube stuff earlier and couldn't get things to work. Apparently we don't have the right version automatically installing and when we tried to update things still didn't work. Is there a way to turn off ioncube in the forums folder and force it to load the decoders from the directory rather than through php.ini?

    Hello,

    if you have the Ioncube loaders installed in php.ini, the dynamic library will not be loaded after that (you can't have two ioncube versions for different folders).

    We tried dropping the updated ionCube loaders into the folder where php.ini was supposedly loading them from and that didn't work either. We'll give Zend a try I guess. PITA though.
