A quick fix is to amend few config files. They files you need to modify are “./includes/config.php” & “./includes/class_core.php”.
Open the file ./includes/config.php and just below the first line add code below.
// try to force display_errors off
@ini_set(‘display_errors’, false);
Now, open the second file ./includes/class_core.php & find for
$this->shutdown = vB_Shutdown::instance();
Replace it with
$this->shutdown =@ vB_Shutdown::instance();
Save the file and proceed with the installation process. If you still face any issues, feel free to contact our support team.
