I have done nothing to this site in a very long time & my host say they made no changes to my server.
What would case this to happen out of the blue?
I did edit my config with edit to fix.

BTW: I have 4 vb sites and only one received this issue and config.php in others is still set to MYSQL and have no issues.

Looks like my host updated my php to 5.6 beta via cpanel but my sites show I am using 5.4.
I am running only vb3.8, will I have any issues using php5.6?

I had to switch back to 5.4, many addon site functions would not function properly.

A mulled server change to php5.6 was one of the drivers towards us having to upgrade to vB 4, from 3.8. Our server owner tested the change to 5.6 thus crashing the Forum - thankfully he allowed us 3 months to sort out the upgrade.
Whilst the basic upgrade was seamless, we're still 'fighting' to get some of the tried and tested vB3 hacks to work.
