Upgraded to PHP 5.2.14 - Some languages are broken

[moman]

I've recently had my server upgraded to PHP 5.2.14. Currently, memcached is still down, so some functionality isn't working in my other add-ons, but it looks like vBET is.

However, only a few languages are currently working!

Danish works: PentaxForums.com - Pentax Photography Forum
Polish doesn't: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pl/

This notice is shown on all forum pages:
Notice: Use of undefined constant DIR - assumed 'DIR' in ************************************************************************************************************************../forums/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_vbseo.php on line 18

If I change this code in the vbet functions_vbseo file:
if (!defined(DIR)) {
define('DIR', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));
}
to just
define('DIR', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

the warning disappears, but my problem isn't fixed. Any idea why this would be? FYI, there are no notices or errors currently being shown on the vBET pages.

I copied and am still using my old php.ini file, so the same settings are being used as before.

Thanks for your help!

Update- the languages that I thought worked only appear to be working on the homepage! Try to open a thread when logged in as a member (username testuser, password test); it'll show a blank white page.

Could the problem be with curl or iconv? They are on in PHP, but might not be working properly as a result of the upgrade. Is there any way to check this?

I have some further insight on the issue-

Only pages that can be fully fetched from cache are being shown. I tried disabling the cache for Danish, and then no pages were showing up.

One more observation:

This code from my homepage previously successfully included a file (which still works if you open the url direcly), while after the upgrade it did nothing:

<?php include('http://www.pentaxforums.com/content/homepage/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/external.php?forumids=24,37'); ?>

I had to add allow_url_include = On to php.ini, and then it worked. Perhaps some other required parameter for vbet is missing from the configuration file?

And a final update before I go to bed for the night:

I switched a setting in Plesk so that PHP is now run as a cgi application. This made the translations work again; however, when I switch back to running it as an apache module, evertything breaks again, and translated pages give 500 errors. Any ideas?
