Fwiw -- it's pretty easy to take a hands-on approach to figuring stuff like this out these days. Fire up Ubuntu 14.04.1 on an EC2 instance, do a quick test install of VB5, check things out, kill the instance when you're done.
Probably get all that done in less than an hour, and it gives you a lot of peace of mind on these sorts of issues for a couple bucks out of pocket.

The minimum PHP versions for vBulletin 5 are:
vBulletin 5.0.5 - PHP 5.3.0
vBulletin 5.1.0 - PHP 5.3.7
vBulletin 5.1.5 - PHP 5.4.0
You would have to ask the team at Ubuntu what their upgrades will update. We don't support OSes or keep track of their versioning.Leave a comment:

As I remember from your documentation, the minimum version of PHP was something like 5.1 because I remember checking my version to make sure I met the requirements when I upgraded from vBulletin 4.2.0 to 5.1.5 this month. My PHP is at version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.16.
Regardless, you bring up my exact concern. Does an upgrade to Ubuntu make any changes in PHP, MySQL, or Apache (or anything else) that will affect my installation of vBulletin? Will I break anything in a standard installation of vBulletin without any addons or mods by upgrading Ubuntu?Leave a comment:

The version of Ubuntu itself has no bearing on vBulletin. The important things would be the underlying daemons for Apache and MySQL along with the PHP version used.
vBulletin 5 should work with PHP 5.4.0 and higher and we recommend MySQL 5.5.X and Apache 2.2.X.Leave a comment:

Effect of Ubuntu Server Upgrade on vBulletin 5.1.5
I'm running my vBulletin 5.1.5 forum on an Ubuntu VM that I host in my home. The server is currently at Ubuntu 12.04.4. I want to upgrade it to 14.04.1. Has anyone done this? Are there any specific issues I need to watch out for?
I'm more of a Windows guy usually, but I'm gradually learning my way around Ubuntu/Linux. Just don't feel as comfortable with it as I do with Windows. Any comments/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated!Tags: None
