Strange Forums Error
 

Hello,

I tried to access my forum today and got this error:


I need help, none of my members can use the forum due to this error. Thank you!

You might want to ask your host if they upgraded your php on your site. What version of vbulletin are you running and what version of php and mysql?

im running 3.6.2 and yes they did upgrade the php on my site to php 5.x

It's a version of php that isn't supported by vb3. But you can try doing this: edit global.php and near the top under the copyright notice, add this:


do the same for admincp/global.php and modcp/global.php.

Tried that kh99, that didnt not work.

You'll have to either ask your host to put you back on a server running PHP4 or you will need to upgrade your vbulletin site to 3.8.7.

Or add KH99's suggestion to your php error reporting (your host can do this for you).

I have Godaddy as a host, how do I get them to add that to my php error reporting?

Ask them to change the php config error handling for html errors to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192

Just add the below to a php.ini file, place the php.ini file in your public_html dir.
display_errors = Off

That could be a bad thing to turn off all errors :)

For now it will resolve his issues & is a fix he can do.

I also have godaddy and have never had this error

Sorry i have to disagree!, if he's going to add another php.ini file like that he should use this error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
