What version of vbulletin and PHP are you using?

[Paul M]

That looks like you upgraded to php 7.

Older versions of vb4 will not run properly on it, you need 4.2.5.

Vbulletin 4.2.3 thanx

[Trevor Hannant]

You need to follow Paul's advice then - or downgrade PHP.

This thread is four years old so you are unlikely to get responses from the people who posted in it.
It is always best to start your own thread.

Without detailed information about the version of vBulletin you are running, and the version of php your server is running, I cannot provide a firm answer.

However it is likely the cause is the same.

To run vBulletin 4, (which is end of life) you need to be running version 4.2.5 and ONLY php version 7.1. No other version of php will work.
