Stuck on install loop with lots of Deprecated lines.

I set up my config file and uploaded everything but when I go to install I get this on the install page

What version of vBulletin are you trying to install and what version of PHP is on your server?

[BirdOPrey5]

For every "Assigning the return..." warning you need to edit the file and line specified and remove the & next to the = on each line. In Windows download a good text editor like Notepad2 or Notepad++, both will show you line numbers so the changes are easy to make. Save the files and re-upload them and try again.

As for the other issue, set_magic_quotes_runtime... just go to that line in the class_core.php file and add two slashes // before the line so it gets "commented out" (ignored) by PHP.

I'm running php 5.3 and vb 3.8.2.
Why do I have to edit all these files if I'm doing a new fresh install is this normal?
I'm really bad with this stuff so sometimes I need people to hold my hand lol

You either need to edit the files or run PHP5.2 on your server or install at least version 3.8.5 of vbulletin. vB3.8.2 is not compatible with PHP5.3.

When you run old software on new servers, sometimes there are file edits. Sometimes it doesn't work at all- luckily these are easy edits.

Thanks guys I changed to php 5.2 and everything went smooth.
