Try going to Plugin/Hook System in the options and setting "PHP Compatability" to Yes.

Edit: actually, that only will work on plugins. You should really edit file includes/garage_func_var.php and look for things like:
$var = & new something(....

it's the "= &" or "=&" you're looking for. You need to remove the "&".

Just out of curiosity, did you change your php version at all, or did you just upgrade?

I don't have any specific knowledge of problems with 4.2.2, I was just trying to read the errors and figure out if there's a fix. You might look at vbulletin.com if you haven't already, if you're having an issue then it's likely others are having the same problem.

Found in another thread, I added:

to my php.ini file and started apache and the error went away.

I also had to turn off 1 product with this update but that was an easy thing.

4.2.2 is blowing up sites with glorious abandon! I did a straight update to the vBulletin as I was within the range of acceptable php 5.2.1.7 version.

We have been doing many upgrades today. The issue is not a change in the php configuration, but a change in the vBulletin error handler. I think there is a bug in it - did not have time to explore it further, I just swapped back the old error handling code - which makes it ignore the settings in display_error.

Of course, these warnings show issues you should take care of, but they were there also before you installed 4.2.2, are not immediately critical things, usually, AND should not be shown if display_errors is set to off.

All sounds reasonable. I had it running just fine. I did an update. It shouldn't have screwed up and started showing warnings if all I did was an update.

I've seen a handfull of 'great upgrade' comments and a ton of 'holy hell!' ones. They can't all be 'mod-related'. What bothers me intensely about vbulletin.com is that they put out an upgrade, ask people to post in the support thread, and then critical issues sit there unanswered for extended periods. You JUST rolled out an upgrade - they should be all over anyone having problems bending over backwards to help them resolve them.

It has taken us months to get 4.2.1 working correctly. No way am I upgrading any time soon. And honestly, despite having been a vbulletin customer for going on 10 years, I think we will strongly consider moving to another vendor the next time we really need to upgrade our software. My experience with the vbulletin Facebook App debacle earlier this year and watching the total lack of vbulletin response to complaints about a paid add-on that didn't work or perform as advertised was infuriating.

Actually, yes they can.

Almost all are either mods, or server configuation (or both).
So far Ive only come across two that were actual code issues, and one of them wasnt posted anywhere, just logged directly in Jira.

OK, guys.... I'm not having issues with anything but the INABILITY to upload attachments. All the rest is fine.

If my server configuration worked with v4.2.1, what changed to make the configuration NOT work with 4.2.2? I didn't touch the server. I only updated the files contained in the update.

I can turn ALL of my mods off and I still can't upload an attachment.

Paul, do not be so dismissive, it is silly. 5 forum upgrades today, all with display errors set to off and errors still displaying. Anyhow, I said "I think" in my post. If the error is not in the error handler, could be elsewhere.

OK, since I am a stupid bastard, instead of working on my stuff I decided to jump into it, and it looks like I was right. The implementation of the error_handler in vBulletin 4.2.2 is wrong, or at the very least, incomplete.

The final part of the new error handler, the one matching all errors not matched by previous cases, which means also deprecated errors (those most people in the forums have been having problems with) contains this:

default:
if (error_reporting() OR ini_get('display_errors'))
{

and vBulletin then proceeds to echo the error.

This means errors will be shown if error_reporting is enabled even if display errors is set to off. A correct implementation of an error_handler needs to follow the configuration settings specified on the server and react accordingly.

More on this here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5699930/does-a-custom-php-error-handler-respect-php-configuration/5700117#5700117

I do not have the time to submit this to vBulletin's JIRA, so if you guys have the time, do it. I will submit only a trouble ticket for this.

ForceHSS

10-10-2013, 01:10 AM

So I put up a fresh install for testing and the problem with attachments they are still there was just making sure the problem was not with my forums. VB needs to fix this problem now some kind of quick fix in the next hour this should of been tested before it was given out

CarlitoBrigante

10-10-2013, 01:14 AM

And for forum owners, a possible solution to this is just to change this in includes/class_core.php line 5733

if (error_reporting() OR ini_get('display_errors'))
{
if (defined('DIR'))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_log_error.php');
$message = "Warning: $errstr in $errfile on line $errline";
log_vbulletin_error($message, 'php');
}

to this

if (error_reporting() OR ini_get('display_errors'))
{
if (defined('DIR'))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_log_error.php');
$message = "Warning: $errstr in $errfile on line $errline";
log_vbulletin_error($message, 'php');
if(!ini_get('display_errors')) return;
}

This is a very rushed out solution, and I encourage you guys to double check it as I really really do not have the time (do not want to be mean, I just have been up in front of the monitor for 18 hours straight upgrading stuff already).

--------------- Added 1381371455 at 1381371455 ---------------

Guys, I can confirm I had a similar problem with attachments in a forum and it was, once again, caused by the issue I posted above about warnings coming out at the head of the AJAX response. Using the fix above and hiding the display errors made them work for me.

Not sure this covers also your cases (it does not seem to as some of you are reporting issues with fresh installs which should not contain deprecated messages), but just double check this is not what is causing the problem for you as well.

Your error shows "undefined" on mouse hover, mine at least says "Upload Failed".:D

I'm 70 years old and I'm not a programmer. I can be "led" pretty easily but I don't "do" new code on my own.

I'm looking into updating my version of php and I hope this is the issue. If the problem is purely from the vb code, then I need new files or explicit instructions on what code to add/change in some mysterious php file.

I've got this same problem and had to revert back to the old version to get my site back online.

I have two forums, both on the same server, both were version 4.2.0 patch level 3 and upgraded to 4.2.2

One upgraded perfectly without a problem, the other has this time zone error which locked me out of the admin panel. :o

The time zone errors can be fixed with the php.ini update. I think that answer is in post #5 in this thread on the warning messages for the time zone error.

Oh, thank God. I am not the only one with this problem.

So, here is my sob story. Was using vB 4.1.12, all good, no problemo's. One day some Arabic hackers mess up my site. They created Admin accounts. I upgraded to 4.2.2 and yes, deleted the install folder, nuked the fake Admin accounts. Shortly afterward my site was getting its head flushed down the toilet where it remains currently. Click link below in my sig to see for yourself.

Now I am trying to re-install the upload folder of the vB 4.1.12, but I have noticed the includes folder does not contain the config.php, only config.php.new

Any guidance from you good folks would be appreciated.

Friend,

I'm the last person that you should ask for expert opinion on hacked or looking good. I know my limitations and that's why I'm asking questions on this forum.

Until someone comes up with a solution, my "upload attachments" functionality is just sitting there, dead.

I'm looking into updating my version of PHP to see if that helps but I'm pretty much screwed here unless I get a backup reloaded from my ISP putting me back on v4.2.1.

I clicked on ozchess and got this:

Thanks for your help.

After you FTP your files to get 4.2.1 loaded again, go to
http://www.yoursitesname.com/forum/install/upgrade.php in your browser. (This information is from a previous post in this thread)You will need to enter your customer code from vb and then the update is done automatically. Apparently, there will be an option presented to you to select the version. Information given was select the left option to get 4.2.1. Before you do ANYTHING else after the update completes, you should go in and remove the folder called /install/ from your server.

This is from a 70 year old. Consider that as you proceed! :D

The message above that says you can reload 4.2.1 is news to me. Prior to that, I thought you had to get the ISP to do it from a backup. I was told you can't go backwards in vb updates.

But WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW!

Elmer

--------------- Added 1381419869 at 1381419869 ---------------

I usually keep a development site just for this reason but thought that this would be a minor upgrade with no major template changes so thought "**** it, lets do it live!".

A lot of things broke, including vBSEO and I also had the issue with not being able to upload attachments.

Luckily I keep daily database backups and had made one right before trying the upgrade so I dumped all the tables in my upgraded database, re-imported the 4.2.1 database and just re-uploaded the 4.2.1 files and I'm back in business on 4.2.1.

I didn't know that you could simply upload the 4.2.1 files and run the upgrade script and it would downgrade the database to 4.2.1, but that's pretty cool to know.

After you FTP your files to get 4.2.1 loaded again, go to
http://www.yoursitesname.com/forum/install/upgrade.php in your browser.

This worked when I first upgraded to vB 4.1.12, but is not working today. The screen just goes blank.

Again, I uploaded vB 4.2.2 to my FTP, but there does not seem to be a config.php file in the includes folder. There is a config.php.new, but not a config.php

Is that a clue. I got the 4.2.2 from the members area of vbulletin.com, downloaded it from there. So am I looking in the wrong place for the config.php file?

I figure if I ensure all plugins are deactivated by adding text to the config.php, maybe that will help, but I need to find or upload that file first.

Did you reload the older version? The /install/ folder should have been deleted after your last update. The /install/ will function if you reload all of the older files, like I did to get to 4.2.1.

Also, as explained to me, vb does NOT bring a new config.php in an update. Instead they load a config.php.new so as not to overwrite a config.php that you might be using with special stuff in it. You can just create a new config.php and load the line of code in it to help solve your problems. I think it needs to go into the /includes/ folder. Most likely you have a config.php already loaded in your /includes/ folder.

Delete config.php.new and replace with config.php from your 4.2.1 version.

eboggs_jkvl

10-10-2013, 08:06 PM

I don't think config.php.new is doing anything in there. My config.php had my pertinent data in it to make the forum run. The "new" file was from vb for the update and it doesn't run as far as I know. I looked at config.php.new and it has blanks in places that point to the data base, the pw to access the db, admin access (listed by ID#), bunches of stuff. I wouldn't want vb to overwrite my config.php or my board would die just for that reason alone.

That is for attachments fix as I don't have them other things I can't test for them. About the error messages you are getting you need to edit your php.ini file and put

date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

; http://php.net/date.default-latitude
date.default_latitude = 34.3981

;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333

; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith

but only if you are getting the error with the date

something like

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in ..../includes/functions.php on line 4912

or

That's a problem with a plugin you have. Have you got any out of date plugins you could disable all plugins then enable each one to see what one is causing the problem

tbworld

10-10-2013, 09:04 PM

@ForceHSS is right, it is a warning error in PHP from one of your MOD's. Make sure you read this from @PaulM:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-announcements/vbulletin-announcements_aa/4000121-vbulletin-4-2-2-full-has-been-released

Or look for a plugin with hook "global_bootstrap_complete", should narrow down your search for the product.

On the plugin page you can search by hook name. The header links are clickable.

Find the Product (MOD) and then we can help you further.

Hope this helps :)

I still have a product in trouble and there's no reason for me to go back to 4.2.2 if the upload attachment issue is not resolved. The product thing can be worked out with the software guy but the upload thing is totally a kill for 4.2.2

For those of you with the attachment problem: which version of PHP are you runnning?

I ran into the attachment issue when I tried running VB4.1.X with PHP5.4. A downgrade to PHP5.3 fixed the issue.

Now I am running VB4.2.2 with PHP5.3 and everything works.

Does anyone know what the benefits of 4.2.2 are over 4.2.1? Will my forum run faster with a new version of PHP? Or is it mostly updates to Facebook + PayPal and adding Panjo? I don't use any of those things, so I don't want to pursue this headache if it's not going to result in any performance or security improvements.

Thanks!

Take complaints about the update problems with a grain of salt. They're mostly directly related to modification conflicts. And will depend on the users level of understanding of certain things. Not to mention their level (or lack) of patience.

Well, sir, my grain of salt was a site down with no clue why. I've done every update faithfully upon it's release and have not had any issues other than 1 previous problem of "uploading attachments" which proved to be some setting that the ISP needed to make. I accepted that issue as it took a few hours and they located the problem easily through error messages. HOWEVER, the site was functioning perfectly and the one problem they were chasing could "wait" and a later fix was acceptable.

This time, my site was giving a full screen of scrolling warnings and then the forum displayed. The error messages were not coming ICW the upload problem and the ISP was spinning their wheels trying to figure out the issue. Without answers or clues, I saw no reason to stay on 4.2.2 and weather the storm hoping for a cure. Yes, being limited on my coder knowledge, I un-updated back to 4.2.1 as that one worked and currently IS working.

I lost a program called VB Garage Pro and the forum I run is Jaxvette.com. Missing the car information from a car site is not an option. Was it vBulletin's fault? Probably not as it was an added program so I'll try and deal with that issue with the other vendor. That was my "modification" conflict and was trouble shot quickly so that really wasn't the issue as that didn't hamper my board's function. I'm still working with that vendor.

So, in conclusion, the forum once again lost the ability to upload attachments. Why? I still haven't gotten an answer for that. It may be on here by now but I haven't scoured the site today to dig out the answer. My patience was a full day of "try this" to see if it fixes it. Well we got the warnings cleared but the upload and garage were still messed up and no prospects of them ever getting corrected.

I'm not mad about this, I'm disappointed. I now have to read the forum and google the world on every update to see what issues are presented. Then, and only then, I can do the update with all of the OMGs on file so I can keep my site up.

True, I'm not a coder, but I am an end user. Without end users, companies fail in a Capitalistic society.

Edit

Nope, no clue yet as to why the upload attachments is failing on 4.2.2. Bear in mind that I'm not the one person in the whole world with this issue. The last time I think it was a "Post bit" issue but nothing so far on the current issue.

Hello everyone

Unfortunately I made the mistake to pass the software upgrade without you suspect that could be a problem as it was the first time that I upgrade the software.

now is the only way as there is no backup before upgrading nor can I do a clean installation from start (preferred quitting altogether my website to convert the blog to put another open source software)

expect to make some kind of upgrade that will fix the problems

an error message that I took after the installation was this:

Warning: Function split() is deprecated in ..../forum.php(791) : eval()'d code on line 265

(Anyway have update this Mod / Plugin VSa - Visitors In Last X Hours v3.0.5)

Follow instructions and have edit this file class_core.php (includes)
locate lines 5683-5685

Code:
case E_NOTICE:
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

Add lines for Deprecated and/or Strict errors as required ;

Code:
case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT:
case E_DEPRECATED:
// Just ignore these completely //
break;
This will bypass the additional error reporting.

and see this errors on error.log

You don't need a backup, upload the 4.2.1 files then run the upgrade.php it worked for me on all my sites I tested this first on my test site to make sure it worked first

Just make sure you pick the left side option when going from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1

I think I might have to try this.

I also did the upgrade and got errors, thankfully I took back ups of database and forum folder. However, silly me, I reverted to the 4.2.0 patch 3 forum folder but did not replace the database to the saved version.

Now I have a 4.2.2 database with 4.2.0 patch 3 forum. :(

My only option is to try ForceHSS suggestion above or revert to the last saved 'old' version of my database/forum, which was yesterday morning, but I will lose members and posts that have happened in the mean time.

Can I just ask ForceHSS - when you say 'pick the left side option' what does this mean?

If you did the mods to class_core.php - lines 5683-5685 like this:

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT:
case E_DEPRECATED:
// Just ignore these completely
// break;

Some people have had success with adding in "case E_WARNING:"

So your code would be:

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT:
case E_DEPRECATED:
case E_WARNING:
// Just ignore these completely
// break;

I did not have to add "case E_WARNING:" to my forum and I am fully up and functional 4.2.2 with no known issues reported. This upgrade for sure SUCKS and I feel for all of you who have not been able to get past it.

For additional info I am on:

vBulletin 4.2.2
MySQL 5.5.30
PHP Version 5.3.27

For those wondering what these things are "doing"....

E_NOTICE -- "Run-time notices. Indicate that the script encountered something that could indicate an error, but could also happen in the normal course of running a script."

E_STRICT -- "Enable to have PHP suggest changes to your code which will ensure the best interoperability and forward compatibility of your code. "

E_DEPRECATED -- "User-generated warning message. This is like an E_DEPRECATED, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error()."

E_WARNING -- "Run-time warnings (non-fatal errors). Execution of the script is not halted."

My coding knowledge is limited, as well. I have no education in the field. Almost everything I know is directly related to my time spent using this software, and on this board specifically. As such, I would never tell anyone not to upgrade, just because I couldn't get something to work. And certainly, not because the solution wasn't sorted out in a day. Boards are work. Boards are complex. Sometimes your lack of knowledge on something means you won't sort a problem out today, this month, this year. It's the nature of the beast. My post said to take complaints with a grain of salt, because a person's decision to upgrade should be based on the all available information. I don't think people, especially people who are in the midst of a problem, should be telling anyone with vehemence not to upgrade. That's why comment said what it said, and what I was specifically addressing.

for those with issues...
1. The 4.2.2 upgrade is very solid! (i.e. a vanilla vB site wont have problems)
2. All the issues we have had are due to add-ons (in test)
3. I'm waiting for DBtech and a few others to remediate their products
4. You have the option of suppressing the errors, but that has side effects (i.e. you miss errors that really need to be dealt with)

I've given up now and reverted to the last safe version I had, lost two days of posts but our members are great and we will get over it. It was not worth any more stress or loss of sleep.

One thing I can't understand is that I have two forums, identical in every way except content. What I do to one I do the the other. They are on the same server. I upgraded one without a problem, that is why I assumed the 2nd would be just as easy, it wasn't and produced all these errors. :huh:

Option 2 is what fixed the "Upload attachment" problem.

Um... one tiny little question for the coders on here.

Since I edited the class_core.php, what happens when I update to 4.2.3? Will I lose that edit and need to re-edit the file and add the lines again?

I would imagine a new version would account for it. Or if class_core hasn't had any changes between versions, you could just use it.

Im curious why people resort to editing files before trying the options already provided.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-announcements/vbulletin-announcements_aa/4000121-vbulletin-4-2-2-full-has-been-released?p=4000466#post4000466

I havent seen anyone mention they tried this option first.

I tried it...didnt work. I've seen some say they went back to 4.2.1, yet Ive also read that once you upgrade you cant revert ????? :confused:

As someone that is new to all of this I would much rather not have to be doing walk arounds and rigging to get things to work that typically should never cross my mind. However, Ive been at it since the upgrade started throwing off the time zone error right on up until now, I fix one things and find another. :)

Im wondering the same thing. I was dealing with a qwa.qwa@qa that kept putting themselves into the usergroup admin, regardless how many times we banned them. So I was looking for a solutions to keep them out or else I would have stayed with my 4.2.1... To bad I found out to late that I needed to delete the entire install directory, not just the install/install.php! LOL I traded one problem for what seems like a entire apple cart full of them. Thankfully there are some smart ppl here that always seem to have the answer for anyone who can follow a few directions. :up:

I wanted to try it but all the errors had locked me out of the admin panel, I couldn't get in to turn them off. :(

Then you would need to disable hooks via the config file, then login and turn the option on. You could then re-enabled hooks.

Please be more than specific than "didnt work". Id like to know under what circumstancs it would not work.

As for reverting, there are no database changes from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2, so you could quite easily re-upload 4.2.1 and it would work.
I would suggest if you did this that you turn debug mode on and reset the version back to 4.2.1 in Options > Untouchables (then turn debug back off).

I try the setting in options > Plugins > PHP Compatability. Turning it on alone didnt solve the error codes I was getting. I did the code edit , I had seen

(2. For those who feel comfortable with editing files.

In class_core.php locate lines 5683-5685 (class_core.php is in the 'includes' folder)
Code:

case E_NOTICE:
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

Add lines for Deprecated and/or Strict errors as required ;

Code:

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT:
case E_DEPRECATED:
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

This will bypass the additional error reporting. )

And its working fine now. Thanks
