I've uploaded the 4.2 files into my database and when I ran the install/upgrade.php I got this error message-
vBulletin 4.0 requires PHP version 5.2 or greater. Your PHP is version 5.1.6, please ask your host to upgrade I did think that because the upgrade had failed I would be able to carry on with 3.8 but now I can't log into my admin cp or anything. Is there a way that I can simply overwrite the 4 files with 3.8 until my host has upgraded? I have taken a backup which is on my hard drive but haven't a clue how to restore it from that in plesk, any help would be appreciated..

It looks like the upgrade script checks the php version before doing anything to the database, so it should be OK to upload the vb3 files and overwrite the vb4 files. You shouldn't need to restore the database.
