Thanks, that clears things up!...

[StephenKay]

Thanks so much for your replies! It's great to still get a response. The particular forums that I am writing about is nearly 20 years old, and has a wealth of information for users of particular music...

My host recently changed the structure of how their sites and add-on sites are set up, which means they moved a bunch of stuff around, and changed from using CPanel to something called SiteTools.

Yes, that's what I thought and I went there, but after 20 minutes gave up... please tell me how to search for a particular release. You can't search on a string like '3.7.7'.

I'm working on eventually upgrading a site all the way to vB 5.x, but I got this first step completed.

[StephenKay]

Well yes, I read that - however, I only have the one URL. I don't have two. The old URL was example.com/forum, and the new URL is forums.example.com, and only the second one works. SO I wondered if I...

I am working on trying to upgrade a 3.7.7 Vbulletin to VB 5 cloud eventually.

In the meantime, due to my web-hosting provider having forced everyone to use php 7.2+, I had to move my forums...

I am attempting to upgrade from 3.7.7 to 3.8.11 (as a first step in eventually getting to 5.x).

I've uploaded a new set of vb 3.8.11 files to my test installation (copy) from my macbook pro....

[StephenKay]

When I go to the member's area, the latest version of 3.8.x that can be downloaded is 3.8.5. Even though the notes there talk about 3.8.9, 3.8.10, 3.8.11...

Even when you select "more...

Are there any good threads/instructions for upgrading from 3.7.3 to vB 5? I'm having difficulty searching and locating anything....

[StephenKay]

I presently have a forum running 3.7.3. My service provider (web hosting) is forcing everyone to upgrade to php 7.2 soon.

What are my options for upgrading this forum to something that will...
