What version of vbulletin? And what version of php?

You say New Install... so no mods, all totally default files? Try redownloading the files and then reupload a totally default set with the only file you ever touch being the config.php file using a plain text editor.

hi lynne i tried VB verison 3-7-0 new host new forum only touched the config.php file

oh sorry this was the 3rd attempt at clean download and upload each time i get same proble

New host? Like I asked, what version of php? I'll bet your version of vbulletin isn't compatible with the version of php you are using.

PHP Version 5.2.14 that the problem?

That should be fine with 3.7.3.

As I asked before - this is a totally default new install? Not some upgrade or install with an old database or old files at all?

Those look like the same errors I had in a ticket this morning where the person upgraded to php 5.3 and was still using version 3.8.3.

yep brand new host , new database, never had one on this ever before, fresh download of VB and fresh install.

no updates, upgrades, or anything

Put a file in your root directory named phpinfo.php that has only these contents:
and post a link here for us to see.

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang2057{\fonttbl {\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Courier New;}{\f1\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f2\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1515;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sb100\sa100\f0\f s20 <?\line phpinfo();\line ?> \f1\fs24\par
\pard\f2\fs20\par
}

Um.... you need to edit/create php files using a text editor, nothing fancier, or you will get garbage in your code.
