vbulletin moderators control panel admin tools

I asked if that would cause any other problems, as I don't really understand what htaccess files do, they said 'if you have problem you must ask a developer'.

htaccess file in both the 'moderator' and 'administrator' folders (inside forum/includes/). I was over the moon to see the admin panel working again, until I asked how they fixed it! He said 'they disabled the. I eventually battled to get someone half useful at GoDaddy, after hours of attempts! He 'fixed' it, or at least got the tech team to do it. The problem is the forum had some hand coding doing by someone many years ago (no longer with us unfortunately) and so the theme/skin is custom and we have never risked updating it as we have been advised many times that it will break the whole site. Any and all ideas welcome and very much appreciated. The site provides a lot of support/community for quite a few elderly folk and not being able to moderate content (especially spammers) is worrisome. If anyone could even just point me at ideas of files to take a look at I would so grateful. I have no clue where to look or what to look for. It just throws a 500 Internal Server Error.Īs I said, I am far from a developer, but trying to understand the way it works I THINK:įorum admin/mod panels are stored inside index.php in each subfolder, one for mods, one for admins, and those two folders are stored inside forum/includes. However I have now realised that even though the forum appears to be working perfectly for all normal users, mods and admins can’t access the admin/moderator control panels. I edited config.php (in forum/includes) to change the DB location to “localhost”, and I also added an “i” to the database type to make it mysqli instead of mysql. The connection to the DB wasn’t working after the move, which turned out to be two problems. I am NO coder! But I managed to scour the web and learned some ideas to try. GoDaddy support was as useless as usual so I just had to dig and dig. Despite being pretty dated, it has worked perfectly for many years, until GoDaddy upgraded/changed servers then the forum had a database error for all users and was effectively offline. I have read lots of threads on the board but nothing seems to relate to my specific problem and after many hours at desk I am totally stuck I am desperately hoping someone can help.
