Error loading Post and Error Contacting Server

Give 5.3 a try.

[Necroshen]

Friendly bump ^^

I know there were issues with 5.x and PHP5.5, whereas it worked fine with PHP5.4. So, I would ask your host to go back to PHP5.4 and then see if you still have the same issues.

I contacted my hosting provider and they have said that they cannot offer version 5.4 but they can offer 5.3 or 5.5
My forum is totally broken due to this error and people have stopped using it. Is there anything else I can try?

Hi Lynne, my hosting provider upgraded my PHP Version to 5.5.9 but it didn't help I have no requested them to try 5.4 is that correct?

[Necroshen]

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade?

Are you running 5.1.4?

Do you have the option to choose PHP5.4 instead of PHP5.5?

Hi Lynne, this is an upgrade. I cannot see an option to change my php version in my hosting providers control panel.

Thank's for that. Here is the responses I get when trying to page through a thread (all info taken from firebug):

Check Firebug > Net tab > XHR tab while you navigate between topic pages. Look for /activity/get AJAX request and check the Response. You should see detailed php error messages.

Ok I have enabled debugging where do I go from here? Is this something I can tie in with firebug?
I'll check with my hosting provider but in the meantime how can I use this debugging system of vbulletin?

[Lynne]

Have you checked your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host) to see if there is anything in there when this happens?

Try going into debug mode and see if you can get a better error. If this is a live site, I would suggest putting a condition around the debug lines so it only shows to your IP:

***
To enable debug mode edit the /config.php file and change:

$config['debug'] = false;

To:

$config['debug'] = true;

Then edit the /core/includes/config.php file and change:

// $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

To:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

To set that up for only your IP address (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP), put these lines around the code:

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") {
CODE HERE
}

I'm having some problems with my vbulletin 5 forum in that when you try to navigate through the pages using the pagination bar is always throws up this error message, if you click on ok and then hit refresh the page you are on the page you just tried to get to. Anyone know what could cause this?


If you reply to someones thread the forum throws up this error message. If you start a new thread however it's not a problem.

I'm not quite sure what's gone wrong but could use some pointers in finding a solution please. It's stopping our users actually using the site.
