Issue: upgrade went bad

If you are "upgrading" from VaultWiki 3, it's not really just an upgrade. You are basically replacing one add-on with another that happens to have the same name.

You must install VaultWiki 4 side-by-side with your existing VaultWiki 3 add-on and import your VaultWiki 3 data into VaultWiki 4. According to the Readme in the ZIP and this manual page, you should follow the instructions in this blog in order to import from VaultWiki 3: https://www.vaultwiki.org/blogs/56/

If you already removed version 3 without following these steps, then you need to restore your database from a backup because you deleted your entire wiki.

You will probably need ticket assistance after the import. It is sometimes hard to tell if you are reading the new wiki or the old wiki, so have one of our staff look at your site before you go ahead and just delete the old version.

If you need a professional install and/or import service, these are available for sale in the Members area, under Services.

i followed the readme manual... which i guess was incorrect due to vb3 to vb4..

You entered some bad characters into the vault/config.php file. It's possible that you put a space before the < on the first line, or you accidentally missed a ' when you edited one of the configs. It's also possible that the bad characters are invisible if you edited the file with Windows Notepad or something like that.

If you cannot figure out where your config is damaged, you should disable plugins on your vB site via your vB config file. I can provide Ticket Support if you submit one on our Members tab, under Services: https://www.vaultwiki.org/members/?d...e&productid=20

But it is the middle of the night here. I'm only on right now because I forgot to silence my cell phone before bed (support alerts go to my phone).

As for your infinite loop. In vault/config.php, you want to find all:
Replace all with:
Then in your .htaccess, you should be able to find all:
And replace with:
This would let you see the wiki index page and still allow all your other URLs to work, but from what I understand your wiki will be empty currently.

If these changes do not work, just reverse the changes that you made, and I would recommend paying for service. I will be available again in the morning, a few hours from now. Good luck.
