Post by Dr Strangelove »

Just an fyi but the site is borked. Won't accept login. I've given up reporting issues.

I understand. Have to login, click the lock, log out, login again. Get the unsecured error with every post I make.
Obviously some http: links are still there in the database, PhpBB 3 has a button to set https:
Could possibly be fixed with PhpMyAdmin by going into every table and replacing http:// with https:// but that's Cpanel stuff for server admins.
Upgrading the main BBS core is needed but a real chore, and with so few users now might not be a top priority. Hate to lose CKA it's been around so long.
Basically, you must have both phpBB2 and phpBB3 installed on the same server. After you have finished installing phpBB3 you will have the option to convert your phpBB2 board using the built in converter. The information it asks you for is related to the phpBB2 installation and can be found in its config.php file on the server. All of your users, posts, forums, PMs etc are converted. However, styles and MODs are not (with the exception of the birthday and attachment MODs which are supported by the converter). The phpBB2 database is not converted per se, it is merely read and converted/moved to the new phpBB3 database, so if it goes wrong your old board will not be affected at all. At the end of the conversion, once you're happy it's all working, your phpBB2 database and files can be backed up and removed if you so wish. They are not connected to the new installation in any way.
Basically you need to setup a 2nd site, and fix all the mods you want to keep (a lot on CKA), pull over and convert the db and redirect to the new site. Then pick thru the problems on that one..
Like with Windows, it's far easier and better to start from a fresh install.

Tried that, it just returns me to the login page. I will show me in recent users but I try to post it goes back to you need to login.

The site has been on life support for far too long and it needs to have a whole new build.

Try logging out, then going to the full login screen (click "login" from the home page.

Most of my problems go away after that.

What's the point of rebuilding now? Most are gone and won't return.

I guess I'll just turn off the lights.
