Upgrade instructions for 3.8.7 are in the manual - http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/u...rsion=30807603

3.8.7 will work with PHP5.3.x

To turn off the board via the database, login to phpMyAdmin and run these queries (you must replace <PREFIX> with whatever table prefix you have set in your includes/config.php file:

PHP Code:

UPDATE <PREFIX>datastore SET data=REPLACE(data,'s:8:"bbactive";i:1;','s:8:"bbactive";i:0;') WHERE title='options';
UPDATE <PREFIX>setting SET value=0 WHERE varname='bbactive';
