[Bug / Issue] Bleuhost moved vbulletin to new server, http error 500

[mennowillems]

For about a few days vbulletin is now working, it generates an server error 500, This happened after bleuhost moved the total site directory to a new server. The website on it works, but vbulletin gives errors. I checkt the error_log:

Stack trace:
#0 /home1/germangu/public_html/vb5/includes/api/interface/collapsed.php(101): vB_Api_Wrapper->__call('fetch', Array)
#1 /home1/germangu/public_html/vb5/includes/vb5/applicationabstract.php(232): Api_Interface_Collapsed->callApi('phrase', 'fetch', Array)
#2 [internal function]: vB5_ApplicationAbstract::handleException(Object(Error))
#3 {main}
thrown in /home1/germangu/public_html/vb5/core/vb/api/wrapper.php on line 250

site:

http://germanguns.com/vb5/

can somebody help me?

best regard,

That stack trace doesn't actually tell us what the error is. Make sure the server meets the System Requirements.

[mennowillems]

The server meets all specs. Can somebody tel me what to do to debug? Debug is on in the config file but I still have a 500 error

[Mark.B]

500 is a generic server error. Look in the server's error logs and let us know what the actual error is.

Also please post up the actual php and MySQL versions being used.

I get this error:

Please make sure that all of the required libraries are installed in PHP. They are mentioned in the Minimum Requirements post linked above. Specifically, ICONV and XML.

PHP Libraries Required. The following libraries are not installed on all distributions of PHP and are required by vBulletin.

• MySQLi support - MySQLi is a more robust software library to connect to the database that vBulletin uses. This requires the mysqli and mysqlnd libraries to be enabled in PHP.
• Hash - Used to generate hashes for various pieces of functionality.
• JSON library - Needed to communicate with the API and front-end interfaces.
• XML Processing Libraries - Needed for various data files.
• mbstring library - A PHP library that helps with character conversion for UTF-8 support.
• iconv library - A PHP library that provides extra language and character set support.
• cURL support - Allows secure connections to third-party services like Facebook Connect.

The system will not work properly without all of the libraries linked (shown in blue).

What does the error say if you put the site into debug mode?

[mennowillems]

The site is in debug mode, no rendering of error's in the browser, unfortunately.

[Wayne Luke]

Is there an error_log file in your public_html or vBulletin directory? What are the last entries?

[mennowillems]

As of today I got:
[30-Oct-2019 08:17:52 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home1/germangu/public_html/vb5/core/vb/library/node.php on line 1806

You're sure that you're using PHP 7.2 in the vBulletin directory? If you upload a file with the contents below to your vBulletin directory, what version does it say?

<?php

phpinfo();
?>

Name it something like info.php and access it from your browser.

[mennowillems]

I removed the extra ">" on line 1806 of file node.php, no idea how it got there, problem solved I guess. Thanks! The error log just only today gave me the error. It was not there before. Even with debug options turned on.

Already did that, yes I was sure in fact it is 7.2.23, that way I also checkt libs
