Hi everyone,

So my VPS recently upgraded to the latest version of PHP and MySQL and vbulleting was giving loads of erros including the one where I have to change my type of database to 'mysqli'.

Now that's done its loading again but returning erros:

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 6988

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at [path]/includes/class_core.php:5615) in [path]/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 37

Also gives the error:


Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/workinh8/public_html/iforumelite/includes/class_core.php
Line: 5615

So I searched through the forums and online and read that downgrading PHP would resolve it so I downgraded and these are my current settings:

Default PHP Version (.php files)	5
PHP 5 Handler	fcgi
Suexec	on

The forum on your license is running 4.2.0. This is only compatible with php 5.3.

If you are running php 5.5 or 5.6, you will need to upgrade to vB 4.2.3.
If you are running php 7, then at present there is no stable release of vBulletin 4 that is compatible, however there is an alpha - 4.2.5 - which adds this capability.

At present, the advice for vB4 is to upgrade to 4.2.3 and run php 5.6 until the 4.2.5 at least gets into beta, then it should be ok to use.

Thanks! I downgraded the php and it worked.
