Upgrading from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5

What steps do I need to take to upgrade from 4.2.3 Patch Level 2 to the newest 4.2.5? Is it worth the upgrade?

I've already did a complete backup of the home directory and database.

Thanks in advance!

1. Backup everything.
2. Overwrite current files with new files.
3. Go to /install/upgrade.php and follow steps.

It's definitely worth the upgrade, I recommend to use PHP 7 for a significant performance boost.

It is worth if you want to use PHP 7 for vB 4.
The choice is yours and just some minutes you can upgrade to 4.2.5

Anyone here ?
I will upgrade my site from 4.2.3 ?to 4.2.5 but I have worry about my plugin and postbits.

If I say overwrite all of them, isnt delete my plugin and postbit and some changes in css or my theme

With vB 4.2.5, you will no longer have the option to use cookie based thread read marking, but the database marking is vastly superior in my opinion and I was using it for years anyway.

Upgrading from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5 should go smoothly. Of course, be sure to backup your site first.

Thanks for your advance.

Also when I start upgrade, the php version is important ?

My php version is 5.4 now.

Which version should I choose??

You can use up to 7.1 for vbulletin itself running 4.2.5

7.1 may break a addon/product test after implementing 7.1 to verify you have no errors, you may be able to disable display_errors if any warnings popup though

5.6 should be fine for any addon currently made for 4.2.5, BUT 5.6 is EOL, so id at least run 7.0

Back up the home dir with tar/gzip etc

Images wont be removed because you're upgrading vbulletin.

Check your server logs for php errors.

Where can I find logs ?

iA1	01-13-2019 03:46 PM

Do you use cpanel or plesk? Do you have root access to your server?

Inside the error log in includes.

I have cpanel, and I have access my roort right now.

iA1	01-13-2019 03:52 PM

It could be due to a plugin. Disable plugins using config.php or from admincp and run upgrade again.

Make sure you have uploaded all vbulletin files properly.
./includes/functions_navigation.php is part of vbulletin and your error says it is missing.

Line 1576 in functions.php is:

Code:

if (intval($profilefield_value) & (2**$key))

Edit: make sure your php version is at least 5.6 or higher.

I am not sure whether the double ** is a typo or not. I think you should open a support ticket at vbulletin.com

If they say it is a typo then delete the extra * and it should work.

I have not upgraded from a previous version to vB 4.2.5, but I run a new installation of vB 4.2.5 on my forum and it works fine without any issues.

When I changed php version from 5.4 to 7 or 7.1 It gives this is en error

To upgrade as it appears you have the Suite, the blog & cms have to be enabled to upgrade, if they are disabled it will fail.

Add this on the 2nd line of config.php:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_WARNING);

Did you change install folder name to installl? Change it back to install to complete the upgrade.
