vbulletin forum error...

[resellertr]

Hi,
One of our costumer wants use Vbulletin, but We can't install it

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\subdomains\test\httpdocs\install\install.php on line 17

Warning: main(./install/installcore.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\subdomains\test\httpdocs\install\install.php on line 69

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './install/installcore.php' (include_path='.;./includes;./pear') in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\subdomains\test\httpdocs\install\install.php on line 69

I know that install/installcore.php is there. My costumer told me that there is a problem on Plesk panels. He tried on different servers and he couldn't install it.

I have the same problem and have been unable to fix it. I have been trying for some time both using a normal site and my preference a subforum.

I found a solution,
try to install a sub folder, Like www.domain.com/forum
I can't install to root folder...

 

[Xtrm2Matt]

Well I'm trying to install it on a subdomain.

 

[Xtrm2Matt]

Anyone?

I have tried both a standard site and subdomain to no avail.

I am willing to pay to have this fixed if anyone is interested.

Well, I've managed to install it as domain.com/forum, but not forum.domain.com.... hmm....

I have run into this problem on several occasions trying to install different apps.

After a couple of months of troubleshooting and testing, I determined the problem is that many scripts attempt to chdir to the httpdocs folder and the default plesk permissions do not allow this.

I am not sure of the security implications, perhaps someone could add more detail, but this worked for me.

Add the IUSR_sitename user to the parent folder of the httpdocs ie ...\vhosts\sitename.com
sitename.com is a directory
after you add IUSR_sitename the script should run.

After installing, I removed the user, altough I am not sure why IUSR... is not there but the WEB01... user is?
