How to test my server

[twobob]

Hi guys. Is there a file I need to upload to my server to confirm the vB will work with it? There is a link to 'Test your Server' in one of the sticky threads above, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. Grateful for some help. Thanks, twobob

What exactly is wrong with the test file?

The link to the attachment appears to be broken - so I can't download ...

"Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

(Link was from this post Sales Information and Contact Details sticky above, click on Testing Your Server heading/link, and let me know if you have any luck!)

I updated it today and I did test it on my PHP 4.4.2 server and my PHP 5.1.2 server prior to uploading it.

What exactly is the problem?

[twobob]

Link still not working for me .... (User error??)

Updated the link, use http://www.vbulletin.com/go/test

Many thanks!

No Problem, Wanye added a new post a few hours ago and the link from Floris' post wasn't updated. Thanks for informing us.

Hi there guys. When I run the vb_test script I get the following fail messages:

- open_basedir
- magic_quotes_gpc

What can I do to get a PASS for these? If not much, can you suggest a host that has everything I need to run vB?

Thanks, twobob

(BTW, the link to the cplogo doesn't appear to be working - I get a red cross in the top left hand corner)

I noticed the images are blocked and load intermitently but since its a weekend the server admins are not around.

The errors are under the optional section so you'll still be able to install, if you click the links for the fail it will explain what you need to do to get a Pass and what the consequences of it being failed will be.

We'd be curious to know who your web host is, if you feel like sharing. It can be helpful to understand.

I have a little bug with this script file: magic_quotes_gpc is set to Off in php.ini, Apache was restarted and the test script shows magic_quotes_gpc is still set to On.

Tested with Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.2 and MySQL 5.0.19 on localhost.

what does phpinfo say?

It's possible a .htaccess file could have it on.

http://pitch.no-ip.info/test.php for phpinfo.

I've install compiled PHP into /usr/local/etc/php and copy php.ini-recommended to php.ini in the PHP directory. IIRC it takes php.ini informations to set up PHP configuration.

And when I run the command "locate php.ini", it tells me only /usr/local/etc/php...
