I'm trying to install VBulletin 2.0 1.1.6 -- The Samething as Web Hosting Talk...I think I've done everything correctly, but I keep getting an error.

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/mb/admin/config.php:38) in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/mb/admin/functions.php on line 1090

Where it says "mydomain" my domain name appeared, I just changed it to "mydomain" for message board purposes.

If anyone can help, please post suggestions in here, or email me at Buckshot_G@yahoo.com

Have you checked vB's support forums (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum) and asked there?

Which version???

The most recent full release is 1.1.6, with the most recent beta release is 2.0.0 Release Candidate 2. I think you are mixing the version numbers up.

sorry..it's version "Powered by: vBulletin Version 2.0.0 beta 3"

this error means there's white space /line breaks (most probably at the end of your) config.php file in the admin directory... remove the line breaks and reupload your config.php file and you should be good to go :)

btw, best to pop into the mysql forum at http://vbulletin.com/forum/ for help :)
and my little e-notepad is kinda nice - http://i4net.tv/marticle/ ;)

Hmm... Interesting.

1.1.16 is the old version (different code
2.x is the new version

1) Check you upload .php in ascii transfer not binary, most ftp clients will do this automatically based on the extension.

2) It is possible that you are having it in windows format and your *nix variant operating system is having problems reading the lines breaks, common if the file has unix line breaks -> is saved in windows -> then uploaded back to the *nix server. There is a nice utility called tlf.exe (less than 100kb and free) that converts file to/from windows/unix.


C:\>windows\desktop\site\>tlf.exe -dos myfile.php

C:\>windows\desktop\site\>tlf.exe -unix myfile.php


You should be able to find this on any simtel archive or ftpsearch.lycos.com if not give me a shout and I'll find it for you.

3) make sure all statments end in ;

Thanks to everyone for their input and help. Eva2000, I think you're right...I took out the line break and I am not getting the error any longer.

Thank you very much..
Thanks to everyone who put in their input.

This Site is GREAT!
