Have been trying to move a VB4.2.5 site to another server.
The current setup is under Ubuntu 14x and PHP5.6.
The new setup is Ubuntu 16.x and PHP 7.1.
On the new server I imported the mySQL database from backup and copied the HTML directory across.
Finally I edited the paths under Options in the ACP.
What I saw on the new sever where snippets of code on the screen where I guess maybe text or images should have been and I noticed that although all the posts had been imported and VB reported the count correctly at the bottom of the forum tab no forums were listed even though they were present in the database and if you tried to click on a path to a post it said you didn't have permissions to look at it. This was true from the admin account through to the guest account.
I just wondered if this might be a PHP compatibility issue?
Disabling all plugins in config.php made no difference.
Am at a bit of a loss really. Any advice would be appreciated.
