[F] 'Database Configuration' db_.php Error

[monacelli]

After I enter my MySQL settings on the Vbulletin 'Database Configuration' page I get the following error.

"Warning [2] require_once(/*/mybb/inc/db_.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory - Line: 77 - File: convert/index.php PHP 5.2.6 (Linux)"

The * represents my actual directory but it looks like it can't find inc/db_mysql.php.

Your running MyBB 1.4 right?

Did you accidentally override your config.php?

[monacelli]

Yeah, I'm running 1.4 and the config.php is still there on the test install I'm using.

Not sure what the deal is.

[Ryan Gordon]

Can't reproduce here. If you open up your config.php is everything correct?

[monacelli]

Yeah, everything is ok in my config.php. I get past the welcome and the license agreement, select 'vbulletin 3.6 or 3.7', enter my vbulletin database settings and then I get the error.

It's weird because it looks like the script has no problems determining what $config['database']['type'] is before it gets to that point to make sure that I have MyBB installed and is the right version (lines 26-37).

[Ryan Gordon]

Can you PM me FTP details, and the information you used to put in the Database Configuration?

[Ryan Gordon]

Do you have register globals turned on?

Edit: Yeh, looks like you do. That's causing the problem. I could work around it, but register_global's won't even be allowed in the next version of PHP, not to mention how big of a security risk it is to turn it on

This bug has been fixed in the latest version of the MyBB Merge System.
