I hope you can solve this problem soon. It could be your data has crashed.

I asked support if they could just reload backup of my database in mysql and this is the response i get::::

I am afraid what db backup are you talking about ? . You have your old db ? AS we did not restore any one's backup all site was same as like before just fixed our hardware issue none of sites are effected with this issue .

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need any further help.

So I guess I'm screwed.

Luckly I just moved to this host a week ago and still had my old host. So just changing my nameservers back to my old host. Will lose a week of members and info but better than being down. I would not recommend Host4Offshore to anyone.

It means they don't have backup solutions for shared account, just full backup for a server.

@Future-FTA
you are using old vbulletin version (3.8.3) which dnt support php 5.3.10.
so update your vbulletin this problem will be solved .

My forums were running fine until your server went down. My new host is using php 5.3.10 and my forums are running great.

Recently we update our php . php 5.2 is an abandon project. We cant take risk by using this. Security issue.
If you update your vbulletin 3.8.3 to 3.8.7 pl7 it will be start working .

i think you missed my previous reply

read it again webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7967203&postcount=10

and i dnt understood why your vBulletin showing wrong information. Wheres i can see your server use 5.2.17 verify it from your c panel check this snap pokit.org/get/?8d4e3cad97eaaf28dcd265b9a17e73bb.jpg. If you have an legit vBulletin license contact with vBulletin about this issue . Vbulletin 3.8.3 dnt support php 5.3 only vbulletin 4.x.x and 3.8.7 support php 5.3 .
