On the website of vBulletin says it’s PHP 5.3.7 up. That version of yours must be out of date.

I had this same problem, because the old versions of PHP use libraries that are no longer available in the new versions of Ubuntu.

You can use an older version of Ubuntu or Linux that supports PHP 5.3

Or lower the PHP website compile and install:

wget http://museum.php.net/php5/php-5.2.17.tar.bz2
tar -xvf php-5.2.17.tar.bz2
cd php-5.2.17
./configure
make
make install

  • But how do I install versions below php 5.5 ? I have formatted the computer twice trying to install... Remembering that I only have vBulletin 4.2.2 license :( it only takes version php 5.2

  • I updated my answer... Let’s vote guys!

  • I gave +1 for the edition. :-)
