Just moved hosts, getting a php error...

[Raw Sugar]

I moved hosts this weekend. Nothing has changed, but now (sometimes) when I click on "Currently Active Users", I'm getting this error:
"Warning: Illegal string offset 'do' in [path]/includes/functions_online.php on line 456"

I've opened the file and the line in question is:
else if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'editfolders' OR $userinfo['action']['do'] == 'updatefolders')

I don't think this is a big deal because everything seems to be working correctly, but I just thought I'd ask. Any help/suggestions/comments are appreciated. Thank you!

I'm using 3.8.7.

wonder if your new host is running PHP 5.4? just a thought.

I just checked, it is! What should I do?

Thank you!

So, upgrade your vB to 3.8.8

I feel like I should have known that...

Okay, I will work on doing that. Thanks!

vbulletin 3.8.9 supports php 5.4/5.5.
i would recommend 3.8.9.
vbulletin 3.8.9 is basically 3.8.8 with PHP 5.5 fixes. this should fix all your issues.

ShawneyJ...

I've just downloaded the 3.8.9 Beta 3 files and uploaded them. Updated the config file to have the correct database information in it.

When it go to forumurl.com/install/upgrade.php I get this:

My host said there must be errors in those files on those lines, but they weren't able to help me.

Luckily my board seems to be working just fine even though it's in a strange limbo. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Your webhost hasn't properly set the timezone on the php configuration. Its a problem with their configuration

[Raw Sugar]

The host is insisting it is something in the install files that I can fix.

[Zachery]

Its nothing you install, its something they set in their php.ini.

They should fix it properly, if they wont or they're unwilling, you should find a new host.

You can use something like this: date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); In your config file, as a work around, but its still best for your webhost to resolve it.

I just moved to the new host and I bought a year of hosting. It's not a huge deal, just annoying. The original error I opened this thread for was something that happened, I noticed, when viewing Who's Online and someone in the actives list is viewing a PM.

The board still works fine, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

I appreciate you replying so quickly.

Do you have access via FTP to where the php.ini is stored and cpanel if so I can fix it for you no charge if you are not sure post a ss of what you have in FTP from your cpanel

Don't ever buy more hosting than you're willing to lose out on, if something goes wrong.
