======================================================
Does this mean someone intruded and cause the problem?

I have not installed any plug ins or do any updates.It seems to come out of the blue on me.

Any suggestions on how I deal with this problem?

Looks like you host upgraded to PHP 5.3

MyBB 1.4.9 isn't compatible with PHP 5.3

You should upgrade to 1.4.13 or 1.6.0 - not only because of that issue but because there are security issues in 1.4.9

Thank you for the reply.I will check on it when I get home.

I did try to upgrade to 1.6 a week ago,but could not get the upgrade script to run at all.

I got all the way to having it installed into the folder where the upgrade php is located.

I fail to see what I missed.But then again I am a rank amateur with this stuff.

Would appreciate help in this.

I have tried the Wiki direction already.

It is obvious that I am missing something.But what that is still a mystery to me.I know that I need to click on the 1.4 to make the upgrade to 1.6.But never able to get the upgrade script to run.

Does it make a difference that the merge system was used.When I went from SMF to myBB?

No that doesn't affect upgrading.

Have you uploaded all the MyBB 1.6 files, overwriting the old files?

I have successfully uploaded it all.But that is far as I have gone.What is next?

By the way it is now php 5.3 as you suspected.

Try uploading the files again, make sure they're all overwritten.

You shouldn't get that error with 1.6 files.

I did it again and this is what it says:

mybb_1600.zip (mybb_1600.zip): upload succeeded.

I did click on the box on overwriting existing files.

But no change to the forum.It is still offline.

Where are you uploading that to?

You need to unzip the package before uploading the entire contents of the Upload folder to the forum root.
