Hi

I want to upgrade my forum Version 5.6.2 Patch Level 2 to 6.0.0 is this possible in one step or do I need to upgrade first to version 5.7.5 ?


and I tried a fresh install of version 5.7.5 it gives me next error just after filling in the database credentials form :
syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)

my server php version:
php -v
PHP 8.0.30 (cli) (built: Sep 19 2023 22:28:54) ( NTS )

syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)

Second part of my question is solved. it was php version problem.

Yes you can do this in one go.

For the original question, as Mark stated, to upgrade from any version of vBulletin 5, upload the vBulletin 6 files, overwriting what exists, and run /core/install/upgrade.php.

Just a note for anyone else encountering this --

The command line and web versions of PHP can be different. In order to view your web version of php use a phpinfo() call in a file.

<?php
phpinfo();
