'/includes/config.php'))            {                // config.php exists, but does not define $config                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php exists, but is not in the 3.6+ format. Please convert your config file via the new config.php.new.');            }            else            {                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php does not exist.

========================

We recommend that you do the following:

1-Encryption includes/class_core.php
2-use the false and misleading information in that old config.php

Unexpected errors:

• before upgrade vBulletin in Future Should return the default settings

If you are using old mod vBulletin SEO

1-open includes/config_vbseo.php

find:

 define('VBSEO_VB_CONFIG', 'config.php'); 
  

replace config with your new vBulletin config name.
