Anyone got tips on setting up multiple versions of vb such as 3.6, 3.8, and 4.x on the same server. I know 3.6 and 3.8 use different versions of PHP and MYSQL. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth quick and easy.

Any ideas on this?

I have no problem with running 3.8 and 4 on the latest versions of php and mysql. 3.6 I dont know.

I have several versions of vb running on my server - 3.8 to 4.1 - and they are all fine. (I even had a 3.7 version until lately.) Just make sure to change the cookie prefix in your config.php file for each one. And, if you use xcache, change that prefix also.
