Issues with PHP5 ?

Are there any issues I need to know about when upgrading to PHP5 ?

PHP 4 works fine... when I upgrade to PHP 5, I get a blank page.

Which error logs do u mean? I dont think vbSEO came with any.

Please check your Apache's error log.

I also went from Apache 1 to Apache 2. maybe thats where the problem is?

I get a bunch of ??????????????? on the page now and then if I refresh i get all kind of coding errors.. some talking about "Binary mode for Ion cube"

I SCP -rp all my files though. The permissions should of stayed the same throughout.

Hello,

make sure that you have all vBSEO files uploaded correctly.
Also, you should set permissions for vbseo_sitemap/data/downloads.dat file to 0666.

Some more errors when try to view the forums :

1&&$__id[1]==':'){$__id=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__id,2));$__here=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__here,2));}$__rd=str_repeat('/..',substr_count($__id,'/')).$__here.'/';$__i=strlen($__rd);while($__i--){if($__rd[$__i]=='/'){$__lp=substr($__rd,0,$__i).$__ln;if(file_exists ($__oid.$__lp)){$__ln=$__lp;break;}}}@dl($__ln);}e lse{die('The file '.__FILE__." is corrupted. Ensure that you use binary mode when transferring files with FTP and disable the 'TAR smart clf feature' if using WinZIP\n");}if(function_exists('_il_exec')){return _il_exec();}echo('Site error: the file '.__FILE__.' requires the ionCube PHP Loader '.basename($__ln).' to be installed by the site administrator.');exit(199); ?> ìŸ

I reinstalled VBSEO and made sure I transferred in Binary mode. still same crap.

I get the same error when I try the Test Script.

If you switced to Php 5.1.x or 5.2.x please upload the required ioncube loaders
IONCUBE and PHP5.1 or greater

I didnt have those downloaded beforehand. Is it possible it could of damaged my php installation by not having those downloaded beforehand?

I get the same error codes when trying to view ordinary phpinfo. my php is all screwed up now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling...same crap.

depending how you upgraded your php, it could of been damaged/missing files..

i have 5.2.3 php atm, Will upgrade it to 5.2.4 within the next few days, have to give notice to my clients -.-

And i won't be going Apache 2 for a while yet.

I guess thats the question I should of asked beforehand. Does it work ok with Apache 2 ?

I have 5.2.3 installed aswell... tons of errors here.

after 5 more hours of messing around. I noticed if I took out the file

"functions_vbseo"

that my forums return to their normal operating state but without SEO.

If I just have the file "functions_vbseo" on the server, everything goes haywire. All that error code galore.

Like I said im on Apache 2 and php 5.2.3 . and mysql 5.0.

Any help would be much appreciated. Atleast I figured out that removing that file would make it operational again. (just default vbulletin)

I need some serious assistance here because its definately vbSEO thats causing this problem. I uninstalled, reinstalled everything like 3 times. and its definately vbSEO.

I didnt even enable the re-write coding yet and the coding still spilled out like crazy when I have functions_vbseo on the server.

When I had php 4 and mysql 4 for the last 2 years, vbseo ran fine..

you need the 5.2 ioncube loader. then, you need to make sure your php.ini file is including the ioncube loader in compile (you can see this in a php info)

i'm on 5.2.3 with no issues (but on older 1.3 apache and 4.2 mysql)

Brian, I have the 5.2 loader located in the /ioncube/ folder.

Is there something in the php.ini file I need to configure aswell so that it can read the loader? If so, please let me know where I should look in that file. I barely mess around with that one.
