Trying to install 3.8.5

[retta]

Hi there

Im trying to install vb 3.8.5 with php 5.5 and mysql 4.6.5.
errors keep popping up before i am able to install the board.
I have read that php 5.5 is not compatible with it and to either downgrade
or edit files.

I also have read that maybe 3.8.10 is compatible but cant find that anywhere.

can someone please help.

thanks
Retta

Most likely you have an old licence that doesnt have access to the latest vB3 versions.
