So I have a larger community.
We're currently on 3.0.14
Our Database is about 1.1 GB
I'm well aware of this guide: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... /upgrade3/
But. Before I commit to the update process, and risk screwing up the database (and naturally just throwing back up the backup that would've been made before any changes would have been committed.)
Note:
I do not have access to any commands, as the guide explains for larger boards as I use One.com :
Is there any risks, or results I can expect from going through the regular process (visiting /install/database_update.php)For large boards, you may wish to update via the command line. From your board's root, execute the following command: php ./bin/phpbbcli.php db:migrate --safe-mode
Will it work? Or is it a fruitless endevor?
Is there another way to do it with a large database?
I've been attempting to back up the database, and import it onto a different database (I have a few) and copy over the site files. In order to test it out myself. But so far the entire process on that project to test it out has been fruitless (yes I updated the config file to read the other database name and password, etc. Although I'll admit I unsure what I did wrong, and will continue to test it out. Hopefully finding a solution sometime soon..)
