3.8.1 not working after upgrading PHP to 5.3.5

[Fking]

My server just got upgraded to php 5.3.5 and now the vbulletin install is giving
"Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 49 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 101 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 105 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 113 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 124 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 128 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 136 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 205 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/init.php on line 383 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/class_core.php on line 2529"


Is there an quick fix for that or i should upgrade?

[Trevor Hannant]

You should upgrade to at least 3.8.6 as this contains fixes for newer versions of PHP5.3

Thank you! I went ahead and downloaded the latest 3.8.7 but the
http://www.domain.com/install/upgrade.php script is giving

"Database error in vBulletin :

/hosting/domain.com/www/includes/class_core.php on line 311

Have no idea what to do now

[Trevor Hannant]

Can you trey try re-downloading the ZIP file from the Members Area and re-upload all files (except install/install.php and includes/config.php.new) making sure you overwrite all files currently on your server. Also, make sure your config.php file has the correct information in it.

Does this resolve the problem?

[Fking]

i'll do that now, but just to let you know, the same happens with another install of 403 which i attempted to upgrade to 412 and got absolutely the same error from the upgrade script.
They are on the same server :>

[Fking]

just did it, still the same error

[Trevor Hannant]

Looking at the MySQL site, I'd suggest that this is a server issue that you will need to speak to your host regarding I'm afraid.

[Fking]

Yes, really seems so. Thank you for the incredibly fast answers!

I was told that by admin that a simple @ in front of the mysql connect function to supress the message would fix the problem, but the thing is that the way you connect is a bit over my head.
Here is the code from the file that gives the error



class vB_Database
{
/**
* Array of function names, mapping a simple name to the RDBMS specific function name
*
* @var array
*/
var $functions = array(
'connect' => '@mysql_connect',
'pconnect' => '@mysql_pconnect',
'select_db' => 'mysql_select_db',
'query' => 'mysql_query',
'query_unbuffered' => 'mysql_unbuffered_query',
'fetch_row' => 'mysql_fetch_row',
'fetch_array' => 'mysql_fetch_array',
'fetch_field' => 'mysql_fetch_field',
'free_result' => 'mysql_free_result',
'data_seek' => 'mysql_data_seek',
'error' => 'mysql_error',
'errno' => 'mysql_errno',
'affected_rows' => 'mysql_affected_rows',
'num_rows' => 'mysql_num_rows',
'num_fields' => 'mysql_num_fields',
'field_name' => 'mysql_field_name',
'insert_id' => 'mysql_insert_id',
'escape_string' => 'mysql_escape_string',
'real_escape_string' => 'mysql_real_escape_string',
'close' => 'mysql_close',
'client_encoding' => 'mysql_client_encoding',
);


As you see i tried to add the "@" the way i know but then it gives this
Fatal error: Call to undefined function @mysql_connect() in /hosting/domain.com/www/includes/class_core.php on line 311

[Zachery]

mysql_connect is required for vBulletin to operate.

[Fking]

mysql_connect is required for vBulletin to operate.

that's quite understandable
What i want is advice where to put the "@" so it works the way it will when you just use @mysql_connect

[Zachery]

You can't use that for mysql_connect. What is the error you get without the @ sign?

[Fking]

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50027 Library:40107
/hosting/domain.com/www/includes/class_core.php on line 311


Which i was told was more of a server side issue, so the admin told me to use @ in front of the mysql connect function to supress it.

[Zachery]

That isn't going to fix the problem, your mysql version is MySQL 5, and your php Lib is 4.0. You need to resolve the mismatch in php's mysql libs, so it can talk to mysql properly.
