Setup failed

I downloaded the software, uploaded the upload file to my forum directory, uploaded the .httacess file and now the forum is disabled. Please help me get this back online.

Seems to be working now (you can remove all vBSEO files and the .htaccess file to recover).

What was the error you received?

Also, your site seems to be running very slowly for me now (without vBSEO installed). What are your current server CPU load levels?

I removed the .htaccess file and the forum is working correctly. I followed the instructions for installation, other than the .htaccess file. I know this isn't correct...

As far as the server CPU load, I'm not sure. It is a dedicated server with a 3.0 P4 with a gig of RAM. Only has 5 small websites.

Okay, I uploaded the files from the "upload" folder to the forum directory. When I go to my forum, I get this message. "

Code:

The file /var/www/vhosts/atlanticanglers.com/httpdocs/forum/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.

"

Did you upload the ioncube folder that came with your download?

That message means that your server has an older version of ionCube loaded. You can ask your host to upgrade for you, or if it's a dedicated server and you have root access, you can open a support ticket here to have it upgraded.

In the AdminCP of vBulletin, on the main screen, it will show your load levels.

How do I open a trouble ticket so I can get this back up and running?

I do have shell access.

For now, go to your control panel, and disable vbseo, that will get you back running. Then you can open a support ticket here:
http://www.vbseo.com/support-newticket.html

Can't get into my control panel in my forum. I will open a trouble ticket now.

If you remove all vBSEO files, and the .htaccess file, your site will run normally.

WHen I uploaded the files from the "upload" folder to my root directory the "images" folder wrote over my existing image folder and now I am really in trouble.

It doesn't overwrite anything, it only places the new files in their appropriate directories.

Okay, I got the forum back up and running by going through and manually deleting all the recently uploaded files. Now, on to the installation. Obviously, I am unable to do this on my own, so any help would be appreciated.
