vBulletin Mods

tamarian,
After upgrading to 3.5 my vbouncer went dead and my emails started goign out with the plain [email protected] return addresses for some reason. I downloaded the updated files, but upon trying to install them the database was erroring out saying the table data was already there. Should I delete what is there and reinstall it?

Not sure why that would happen. But no need to delete, just run the installation script, and click uninstall, then run it agin to einstall. Write down any previous settings like the encryption phrase, and the email, etc. (and click install :) )

Thanks for the quick reply. I just did that but the emails are still going out with the [email protected] as the return address. Strange...

Have you activated the plugins?

Thanks very much, appears to be working great, and deprecates the need for me to run my PERL script to do it :) Lovely.

New problem now. I got the return email addy to change by using the -f command in the control panel but now all the emails going out are sent with the webmaster email and not the vbouncer email. I think the hook fell out that engaged the vbouncer email. How can I get it back in?

OMG it works!! I imported the plugin and it works.... Thanks

Problems:

What to do?

I spoke too soon. When Cron runs vBouncer it errors out and I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_close() in /home/djchat/public_html/boards/includes/cron/vbouncer-collect.php on line 162

You need to setup your vBouncer options in vBulletin Options -> vBouncer.

This means your PHP does not have IMAP functions. You need to either recompile with IMAP support, or use the file spool method instead.

Hm I did that. Maybe I forgot something. Some options I don't even understand so it wouldn't surprise me.

But there is no "collection method" option or something like that.

Collection method mehod is either IMAP or a spool file. Make sure you check the diagnostics option in the vBouncer menu, to see if there are any errors.

Ok "IMAP/POP connection"

To be honest, I'm not sure what to fill in there.

{localhost:110/pop3}INBOX didnt work
do i need to change the numbers or something?
Sorry if these are dumb questions...

These values are based on your email account setup. Think of them like any new account you setup for your server. Instead of local host, put the URL of the domain used for the email, and make sure you put the email username and password in the rest of the fields.
