vBulletin 4 & PHP 7 - drastic speed improvement!

[Alan_SP]

Excellent thread, I just wanted to ask if someone already has some experience with PHP7, as I read about it being out: http://php.net/archive/2015.php#id2015-12-03-1

On those who have Plesk servers (servers that use Plesk CP v12.5), it is supported with microupdate 14: http://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/...og/#12530-mu14 On this last news, it appears that there's a bug in Plesk that linux versions still don't have PHP7, but it soon will be there.

From my experience, changing PHP version in Plesk, if you use Plesk's own system for multiple PHP versions is extremely easy. Just go to website settings and there you choose which PHP version you want for that website. It works excellent.

On the other hand, as @Paul M mentioned, vB4.2.4 still doesn't have PHP7 support, but it would be great if we ask for it, as it is still possible. And, vB4.2.4 will be out in foreseeable future.

Here is Jira about that issue: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-16127

Please help having official support for PHP7 in vB4.2.4

And @Dave, for some reason I can't open your site and blog with your experience and instruction for PHP7 and vB4. Is it only temporary?
