vbulletin 3.8.11 on php 7.2 ?

[amine13420]

hi,

i would like migrate the forum as it's on a old server with php 5,

and need go to a new server with 7.2 but i see that's not support vbulletin 3.8.11,

all new version of vbulletin i really not like,

any news about compatiliby of 3.8.11 on 7.2 ?

any planned update ?

Update php to 7.0 i doubt vbulletin will ever make things right for vb 3.8.x or 4.2.x to be compatible for 7.2 or above.

They basically dont care about users that dont like their new S**T 5.x.x version

I'll try to update then to 7.1 as i asked in technical support of vbulletin,

but really don't like 5.x.x from vbulletin and will never update to it,

what about the mysql server version, there is no problem on other side if i update to last version working with v3.8.11 ?

Im not sure about 7.1 as i havent tested a 3.8.11 forum on it.

As for MySQL, doesnt matter i run MariaDB 10 on most.

Probably no help at all but it does run just fine (plugins may be an issue if they are not updated, only had one that would cause odd problems) on php 7.0.10 with mysql 5.7.14

I'm not sure of the difference between 7.0 and 7.2 regardingg code changes needed though, it might work or if it does not, it may be very small minor manual edits required (hopefully)

i think i'll use MariaDB sure,

just on config file,

what i need to insert here :

// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.
// Valid options are mysql and mysqli, for slave support add _slave. Try to use mysqli if you are using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+
// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

Run as mysqli

You'll need mysqlnd ext. installed in php
