Just make a list (or ask your host to make a list) of all PHP modules and settings like

• PHP Max Post Size
• PHP Maximum Upload Size
• PHP Memory Limit

and ask the host to match those when upgrading....

[djbaxter]

I don't know, honestly. That part was added for a forum which only used a few tags. On most forums, I don't use them at all.

You have to have a page load to trigger a cron job. That's not a matter of opinion. That's just how it works.

[djbaxter]

Scheduled tasks require visitors (page refreshes) to trigger so if you're the only member now that should solve one issue for you.

Suit yourself. But those are database errors. They can't be fixed by vBulletin.







Everything else is just telling you what you were trying to do when...

Contact your host and submit a support ticket....

Using a firewall on the server may help somewhat but...

[djbaxter]

No it's not a new error. What may have changed is that forums, especially vBulletin forums, are under active attack by bots lately, many from China.

[djbaxter]

Maybe because it was posted 6 years ago on the bug tracker?

First, whatever the bug was is likely fixed and removed from the bug tracker.

Second, that is for vBulletin 4.2.1,...

It's probably not having a huge effect on your rankings. Not having an SSL (https) connection is having a greater effect.

However, try adding this to your .htaccess file in the root of your...

[djbaxter]

Sounds like you're being flooded by bots or a DDoS attack. Have you checked IPs to determine the origins?

Look into using Cloudflare. You can try the free plan and see if it works but if...

[djbaxter]

How many Guests are online at a time?

[djbaxter]

Backup the database first using EXPORT from phpMyAdmin.

AdminCP >> Maintenance >> Execute SQL Query >> Manual Query

TRUNCATE TABLE mm_session;
