vBulletin 3.8.1 incl. KeyGen

Well the Customer Number generated is not accepted during upgrade! Please help!

EDIT: I successfully upgraded board as there was fault in authenticate.php file. The MD5 hash was not calculated correctly. I replaced and it worked! Thank you guys :)
 
Okay, but what do I chmod the files BACK TO after the keygen's done it's job? 644? How do I know what all files permissions were prior to chmod'ing to 777?

Most files were 644 to start with, but not all...?
 
Is this (nulled) script totally "good" ? I mean is it nulled properly 'cause almost every nulled script (99%) has a security vulnerability, so lamers can hack in with 1 line of exploit :S
I want to start a serious big online communty but I fear if it will be hacked.
Waiting for reply.

*I'm really sorry for my bad english, but I hope you understand me ;)

Then buy a vBulletin license.

If you're going to have a "big online community" running on a nulled board, it's just a matter of time till you piss someone off and they report your site to Jelsoft.

If you have a problem with lamers trying to hack you, you can be sure that if they can't hack your board, they can always fire off an anonymous email to Jelsoft about you and that will be the end of your board ANYWAY. That's the easiest hack of all!

Have u asked me????

Yes all folders must be chmod back to 755 and files to 644 after u completed the keygen phase and delete keygen file also!
 
I'm trying to upgrade my forums, but once I chmod all my files to 0777, I get internal server errors.. I tried putting them back to normal, but I still get it.

It should work,
If you are upgrading from a diferent software

Steps to take:

1. Upload all files to your server
2. open the folder "includes"
and find config.php.new and rename it to config.php (or you can do this before you upload it to your server)
3. edit the config.php and enter your server info
4. CHMOD all files to 777
5. Execute keygen.php--- ww .yoursite.com/keygene.php and save the customer number.
6. delete the keygen.php
7. go to www .yoursite.com/install/install.php
8. enter the customer number that you got from the keygen and install the forum

9. Enjoy your new forum

Most important thing is config.php

this is the area that you should edit, lots of people get the error because they left something out in config.php

Code: 
=======================================================
// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.
// Valid options are mysql and mysqli, for slave support add _slave. Try to use mysqli if you are using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+
// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['dbname'] = '[b]YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE[/b]';

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

// ****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******
// If any database errors occur, they will be emailed to the address specified here.
// Leave this blank to not send any emails when there is a database error.
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[b][email protected][/b]';

// ****** FORCE EMPTY SQL MODE ******
// New versions of MySQL (4.1+) have introduced some behaviors that are
// incompatible with vBulletin. Setting this value to "true" disables those
// behaviors. You only need to modify this value if vBulletin recommends it.
$config['Database']['force_sql_mode'] = false;


// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
// This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = '[b]YOUR SERVER NAME HERE[/b]';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = '[b]YOUR USER NAME HERE[/b]';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '[b]YOUR PASSWORD HERE[/b]';

I have the same issue here with the internal server error 500
I have created the DB and added the DB name,user an pass to the config file and when go to the url for the keygen.php it gives me the error.
all files/folders chmoded to 777 as instructed also removed the validator.php an NFO file after validating(validated just fine..no errors) its just now i need to goto the url for the keygen..ANY suggestions..

this isnt my firstime around the block just the first time running into this error doing this. :P
 
Please remember to wrap code in [tags] boys and girls! :)

Main directory should be 755
eg: public_html or forum

Also keygen.php should be 644

all the rest 777
 
Thanks for the help guys. I backed up my database before I did the upgrade and I guess a did not follow directions carefully, and no matter what I got internal server errors. I deleted all the files in the forums folder. That did not work. Still internal server errors. Something was messed up with the folder itself. I made a new folder, uploaded the 3.8.1 files (keep in mind I had everything deleted) and ran the upgrade.php since my database already had previous vb 3.8.0 tables in it, and it turned out I still had all my styles, users and posts. Though I lost some images as they were in the image folder and that got deleted, but its not like something you can't fix.
 
hi hoxxy i have 1 question for you..

after you change chmod to 777 and you get your number product? you will back all chmod to 755 and 644 then install? or

change all chmodd folder and files to 777 then get your product number then install vbulletin after you install vbulletin back all chmod to 755 and 644 or

no need to back all chmod 777 to 755 or 644

plz tell me if need to back all 777 to 755 or 644? or if you not back all chmod you will get some error or bugs?
 
- Upload files

- Chmod folders and files to :777
*except main directory forum script is in (755) and the keygen.php file (644)

- Run yoursite.com/keygen.php

- Copy results eg: customer number etc etc to .txt file on desktop

- Chmod everything back
*folders: 755
*files:644

- Run install or upgrade

For more details/better explaination check my sig for install guide :)
