Using FTP rename or remove the install/ sub-directory (the site won't function normally if an install directory exists). Visit (in web browser) the forum/install/xxx.php update page and follow any instructions. įor each step - download the 'all files zip' - phpBB-3.0.14.zip phpBB-3.1.12.zip phpBB-3.2.5.zip.Įxtract the zip files, remove config.php, files/ and images/ then upload to forum/ directory on server using FTP.

I wasn't sure if a 3.0.x to 3.2.x upgrade in one 'jump' would work so did it slowly. they'll have to clone the prosilver theme files and edit the clone.ĭoing the actual upgrades didn't take too long (lots of files to FTP upload though) - most time on R&D. Theming looks like a bit of work (and web design/CSS not my cup of tea) - so it's going but if anyone wants a different colour scheme etc. So Media Wiki (wiki directory) is latest version, phpBB (forum directory) is latest version, and Mantis bug-tracker (mantis directory) is just hacked to display the login page (needs more work or upgrading). OK, that's done (which is great from a security point-of-view as well). Think 'we' can leave it band-aided for a while and let it be archived etc. So - if anyone is using the site and finds an important page not working - let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. (I don't want to volunteer to do more than that in case I have another crazy year and go quiet for a bit - don't want to over-promise and under-deliver!)ĭon't think there's any rush here, though - PHP 7.2 has 2 years of support (and hopefully 7.3 doesn't have any major issues that will cause more grief, they are meant to leave BC-breaking changes to major releases.)

I'm happy to tweak what's there to make it go, but don't want to try and upgrade and keep-up-to-date Media Wiki and phpBB and Mantis. I've fixed the mantis page so it at least shows the login page rather than a blank page. if there's a security issue in 'some_page.php'. don't keep upgrading it) the more likely it is that one day you'll be unlucky.Įven if you turn off logins, uploads, registration etc. So the longer you leave a site unmaintained (i.e. The issue is older versions of PHP software will have security issues.
