Upgrading from vb3.8.4 to vb3.8.10. What's the process to upgrade PHP at same time?

[oldford]

I need to upgrade vBulletin, PHP and MySQL but I’'m not clear on what order to do the upgrades.


I’'m currently running vBulletin 3.8.4 and PHP 5.2.17 and mySQL 5.1.73


I want to upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.10 and PHP 5.6.0 and Maria (instead of mySQL)


Here’'s where I’'m confused. As I understand it I can’'t upgrade vBulletin first because vb 3.8.10 won’'t run on my current PHP 5.2.17. But if I upgrade PHP first then my current install of vBulletin will stop working, so how would I get to the script to upgrade vBulletin?


So what’'s the process I should follow?


Thanks!

Close forum, upgrade php, upgrade vbulletin, open forum.

You should really use 3.8.11 though, it runs on php 5.6 as well as php 7.
