Hi,

Tried a Cookie reset with tools.php...

Hi,
This may be nothing to do with VB5 but has anyone come across 100% CPU usage by Apache 2.4 on a server that just runs a VB5 forum?

I hit a strange one with 2FA.

I forgot to un-comment

$config['Security']['mfa_force_cp'] = false;

Hi, I'm running PHP 7.4. I checked & the 2 modules you mentioned are showing as enabled through a php -m

I noticed pages of

SELECT * FROM words where 'word' in ('

errors towards the end of running searchindex.php after upgrading to the latest version of VB5. Has anyone else seen these? I did try to do it...

I had a look and all the Channels are set to 'Default'


In my header template this is the only mention of 'noindex' which sits at the top of the file :

Thanks for your reply Wayne Luke

I was looking in GSC and it looks like my Clicks/Impressions dropped off a cliff (halved) in May 20 and never recovered.

Looking in Coverage I see 24k valid pages but.... ...

Thanks! This fixed it for me -

sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring on this one.

I checked my webserver firewall rules and they look ok? I haven't changed anything recently apart from applying the VB5 upgrades as...
