Update to 4.2.2 blew up my board.

to this

              if (error_reporting() OR ini_get('display_errors'))
              {
                  if (defined('DIR'))
                  {
                      require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_log_error.php');
                      $message = "Warning: $errstr in $errfile on line $errline";
                      log_vbulletin_error($message, 'php');
                                if(!ini_get('display_errors')) return;
                  }

This is a very rushed out solution, and I encourage you guys to double check it as I really really do not have the time (do not want to be mean, I just have been up in front of the monitor for 18 hours straight upgrading stuff already).

Guys, I can confirm I had a similar problem with attachments in a forum and it was, once again, caused by the issue I posted above about warnings coming out at the head of the AJAX response. Using the fix above and hiding the display errors made them work for me.

Not sure this covers also your cases (it does not seem to as some of you are reporting issues with fresh installs which should not contain deprecated messages), but just double check this is not what is causing the problem for you as well.

tried that did not work so just went back to 4.2.1

I've got this same problem and had to revert back to the old version to get my site back online.

I have two forums, both on the same server, both were version 4.2.0 patch level 3 and upgraded to 4.2.2

One upgraded perfectly without a problem, the other has this time zone error which locked me out of the admin panel.

I'm 70 years old and I'm not a programmer. I can be "led" pretty easily but I don't "do" new code on my own.

I'm looking into updating my version of php and I hope this is the issue. If the problem is purely from the vb code, then I need new files or explicit instructions on what code to add/change in some mysterious php file.

The time zone errors can be fixed with the php.ini update. I think that answer is in post #5 in this thread on the warning messages for the time zone error.

Thank you Elmer, yes I did read that but to be honest I haven't a clue how to do it I have asked for vBulletin support so maybe they will help (Should I hold my breath? )

Oh, thank God. I am not the only one with this problem.

So, here is my sob story. Was using vB 4.1.12, all good, no problemo's. One day some Arabic hackers mess up my site. They created Admin accounts. I upgraded to 4.2.2 and yes, deleted the install folder, nuked the fake Admin accounts. Shortly afterward my site was getting its head flushed down the toilet where it remains currently. Click link below in my sig to see for yourself.

Now I am trying to re-install the upload folder of the vB 4.1.12, but I have noticed the includes folder does not contain the config.php, only config.php.new

Any guidance from you good folks would be appreciated.

I would like to try this. Please advise, step by step, how I can revert to an older model of vB.

Someone told me you can't "step" back in vb to 4.2.1. The only way is to get a backup from the ISP and load that backup and lose whatever is "new" from the date of the backup.

Okay, but does my site look normal to you, or does it look hacked? What would you recommend I do here?

Its easy just upload the 4.2.1 files and run the upgrade.php it will give you two options at the start pick the one on the left

Friend,

I'm the last person that you should ask for expert opinion on hacked or looking good. I know my limitations and that's why I'm asking questions on this forum.

Until someone comes up with a solution, my "upload attachments" functionality is just sitting there, dead.

I'm looking into updating my version of PHP to see if that helps but I'm pretty much screwed here unless I get a backup reloaded from my ISP putting me back on v4.2.1.

I clicked on ozchess and got this:

An error occurred.

Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

Faithfully yours, nginx.
