VBSEO 3.1 (does this effect includes on server)

Ok, this is either a huge bad timing issue or somthing in the new VBSEO has altered the functions of my server outside the folder root of the forum i have VBSEO installed on.

My includes no longer work on other sites if I use a full path on the local server such as

Code:

 $rooturl=httx://www.myserver.com;
 include ('$rooturl/folder/file.php');

however a include to an external sites is ok

Code:

 $rooturl=httx://www.yourserver.com;
 include ('$rooturl/folder/file.php');

Real strange issue #2

All my varuables are passing now to included php files.. this should not happen on its own.

Server host claims no changes so the last thing i have left is the upgrade i did yesterday.

ty!

Interesting as another wevbmaster on my same server has no issues with his sites (same code used there as my trobled code) but he is in another virtual. So it appears that the VBSEO install is somehow changing the operation of my entire virtual server.

I have :

Root
-site1
-site2
-site4
-ediscoveryresources
--Forum (with VBSEO 3.1)
-site4
-site4

I cant see how the forum 2 levels down can effect a folder up from there but somthing is going on :(

It shouldn't affect it at all, unless you made changes at the Root level.

Try reverting back to vBSEO 3.0.0 to see if anything changes.

im afraid to now lol. I will delete it all and try it out

deleted the entire site, no change. It appears like the php.ini was modified but the host didnt do it. Very very strange

vbseo wouldn't have changed your php.ini file

Yeah i wouldnt think so, just beating my head against the wall trying to figure out what in the world went down..

Good points - Im updating the bad code i had for years now and am actually using an includes folder and stting the path..

Learned all about includes

Bad points- high ranking sites with erros or nothing

its all good in the grand scheme i guess but I just wish i had an answer, my host said php is working, anything else lol.. at least it was in English

in general, you can't include from outside your /home/ folder without some tweaked settings. you will often get base_dir open restrictions.

if you want to include remotely, your best off to use CURL

no, just the opposite, i wanted to include internallty but with full URL's, not important as it was bad practice anyhow but i used a lot of includes with http vars like include('$urlcp/header.php?id=$id'); and those are all smoked now.

I have since created an includes folder on the sites and set the includes path (lot better just a lot of work now)
