Is that the complete error? Also, if your old board was 3.0, try running the Support Toolkit database cleaner before you update.

@kinerity thanks for following up I appreciate your time and Yes it’s a really old board 3.0.

Yes error message was much longer and super angry looking to say the least. should I post it? I was just worried it had too much server info on it

Since I already ran it and it errored do I need to delete and reupload the site or just the install files with the support kit?

You can leave out IP addresses, domain names, usernams and passwords.

Just to be on the safe side, I would re-upload the old files and database, then run the STK.

You'll have to look in the server's error log as to why you're getting that error. If you don't have access, your host will have to do it for you.

just to be clear, his advice to run the STK was only if you had reverted back to your 3.0 board files and database. the STK does not work on 3.1 or 3.2

These right here are your problem. Can you upload a new phpbb_captcha_gd_plugin.php file from a fresh 3.0 download?

I'm at a loss. Those errors should have gone away with the file replacement. Try replacing the entire package (keeping your config.php file obviously).

So I'm replacing the entire phpbb with the fresh 3.0.x package keeping the config file? or are you saying I'm replacing the files with the old forum again?
