Problems installing fresh 3.2.5

Post by bimbam2103 »

Hello everybody.

Now i try to install phpBB 3.2.5 since 2 Weeks without any success.

Like many others i have the problem that at round about 46 % an Error with Timeout detected (the installer worked just 3 seconds).

The requirements are met (i think).

My setup:

- Apache 2.4
- MySQL 5.7
- PHP 7.3
- SSL

All PHP-Extensions for phpBB are installed (also the optional ones) and verified with phpinfo(). In the error.log of my webserver i get the following warnings:

Code: Select all

Thank you for your fast reply.

In this case i will not use phpBB anymore... That's a bit annoying because i love it.

I hope phpBB will be compatible with php7.3 in the future because older PHP version do have many security bugs.

That's a bit drastic.

7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 are fine.

php7.3 only came out about 2 days before 3.2.5 was released so there was no chance to make it compatible anyway. The 3.3.x line will work with 7.3.
