Is VB 3.6.5 Compatible with MySQL 5.0

[brihan]

Hi,

I received an error from my cpanel last night as it was trying to upgrade itself.

"fatal: Newer releases of cPanel & WHM are not compatible with your MySQL version: 4.1. Upgrade your MySQL server to a version greater or equal to 5.0"

Before upgrading MySQL to 5.0 (or 5.1 or 5.5) I need to know if they are compatible with my VB 3.6.5

Knowing that will answer part of my question, the other part will be trying to figure out if my mods are compatible with the newer MySQL as well. I'm sure that will take individual research into each mod.

Thank you for any information you can provide!

Brian

I don't know exactly which php versions are recommended for each version of vbulletin - that information is probably on vbulletin.com somewhere. But I do know that using vb3 on a recent php version is likely to give you a lot of "this feature deprecated" messages, but you can turn them off. What I do is a search and replace on all the vb php files to replace:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

with

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

I've seen other people suggest that you can just put that second line in global.php (and in admincp and modcp global.php), but I've never actually tried it myself.
