I received an email from my hosting company saying my version of CentOS needs to be updated to 64bit..... no problem, I'll just patch VB, get PHP to something modern and the in-place upgrade will be easy as pie.... except VB doesn't want to cooperate (LOL).
I was on VB 4.2.3 with PHP at 5.3.29 and MySQL is at 5.6.33
The other three options I have for PHP are: 5.4.45 / 5.5.38 / 5.6.30 (I'd really like to have a 5.6.x version on there).
So I upgrade PHP to 5.4.45...... Bam!!! VB breaks and I can't load any VB pages. Eventually I get it to run the update.php for VB 4.2.3PL2 and it comes back up. Whew....
So then I'm like: "Hey, it's on 4.2.3pl2.... it can handle PHP 5.5 now"..... BAM!!! VB broken again, same error except I can't get to the update.php at all. CRAP!!! Just for good measure, I load PHP 5.6.30 in case it wants to do something nice.... nope, no change. Back to PHP 5.4.45, and it comes back up. Whew....
Alright..... here goes VB 4.2.4rc3!!!! That'll knock this sucker out!!!! BAM!!! VB broken again..... no problem, it needs PHP 5.x right? Load up PHP 5.5.38.... same error as before. CRAP!!! I load 5.6.33..... same error..... can't get to the admincp or the update.php...... darn it!!!
Time to go over the top..... VB 4.2.5b2!!!! Yeah baby, we'll knock this sucker out!!! Load it up.... still on PHP 5.6.30...... BAM!!! No change. Can't get to a page, can't get to update.php.
Ok, you win, I lose.....
Downgrade to VB 4.2.3pl2 and PHP 5.4.45..... and it's back up. Arrrgh!!!!
How do you update PHP to align with what VB wants when updating VB before PHP breaks it and updating PHP before VB breaks it?!?!?!?
Chicken and the EGG.....
BTW, I love VB 4..... it's awesome.
Anyone else have this problem??? What did you do to fix it?
