hello,

i have my vBulletin forums installed in my root directory i.e. http://hispanicvibes.com/index.php

to install Drupal into this same root directory would i

1, over write vBulletin's crone.php and index.php with Drupal's ?

and

2, do i install the Drupal "includes" files into the vBulletin's includes directory or do i over write?

thanks,

daniel

You should not install drupal in the same directory, either one of them should be in a subfolder

I'm actually currently working on this option since this tends to fix some bugs (i'll report them.) but also creates it's own mass of bugs...

After renaming vb's index.php to forums.php and setting the corresponding options.

The only file conflicting besides "index.php" file is the cron file, i countered that by renaming the vb cron to "cron_vb.php" and the drupal cron to "cron_drupal.php" and creating a new "cron.php" which has the following contents:

<?php
require_once("cron_vb.php");
require_once("cron_drupal.php");
?>
i'm currently testing this so beware, it's not ready yet!

BTW: the includes directory doesn't collide since drupal is using .inc files and vB is using .php files
