So, I wasted money on vb5, and was super unhappy, so i decided to install vb3, i tried the latest stable version, but i couldnt get it to install, so i then came here and saw this site uses vb 3.6.12, so i tried installing that and i get the same error:

this is how the page ".com/forums/install/install.php" looks before i enter anything, and it redirects back to the same page with the same error after i put in my active, correct customer number.

now, i did the sql database stuff correctly, and im positive i did the config.php file correctly also.... what gives?

You cannot run vb3.6.12 on a server with PHP5.4. The only version of the 3.x series that is compatible with PHP5.4 is vB3.8.8 which is still a beta version.

what about php 5.3?

--------------- Added [DATE]1390863864[/DATE] at [TIME]1390863864[/TIME] ---------------

I changed it to 5.3 and it says at the top now:

Code:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/typhoong/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 2391 Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /home/typhoong/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 1537 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/typhoong/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 810 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/typhoong/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 814

but is letting me continue with the installation, so im going to see how far i can get.

--------------- Added [DATE]1390864207[/DATE] at [TIME]1390864207[/TIME] ---------------

Ok, it successfully installed now that i changed it to php 5.3, thanks for the help.

one more question: how secure is vBulletin 3.6.12 Patch Level 2 ? from hacking i mean. And what can i do to make it more secure other than upgrading to vb 4 or 5?

Go to the files named in these warnings, go to the lines named, and delete the ampersands found.

thanks a lot guys.

The only versions of the 3 series that are compatible with PHP5.3 are 3.8.5 and above. You will have issues running earlier versions of the software on a server running PHP5.3

jgrakowski · #8 01-29-2014, 01:43 AM

thats weird because 3.6.12 seems to run just fine on php5.3

Some servers patch out the warnings, so it wouldn't be a problem.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
