phpBB 3.1.6 to 3.1.9
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 4:23 pm
1. I downloaded "phpBB-3.1.6_to_3.1.9.zip" and moved it to /tmp on the server (hsiao.net).
2. I unzipped the zip file under the above directory and it created 3 directories (./docs, ./install, ./vendor).
3. I moved the directories in /tmp to /export/home/www/html/phpBB3
Then, go to install and follow the steps.
Download "update_3.1.6_to_3.1.9.tar" for the differences and upload to the server
Check files again from install
File update was successful
Update database
Update was successful
Rename the install directory before phpBB would work.
Make sure the permission is set back to default web server user:
For those who are curious what are new in 3.1.6, please check the phpBB 3.1.9 released page.
NOTICE: Both php 5.6.20 and 7.0.5 compiled successfully. However, phpBB 3.1.x does NOT work with PHP 7 (code differences). Some say phpBB version 3.2.x may start supporting PHP 7. Therefore, stick with PHP 5.6.20 for now.
