At which stage should I use this tool? Seems that 3.2.2 needs to be installed to make it work?
That appears to be correct, but you can PM the author, 3di and ask.
1. Delete all styles except "prosilver" in 3.0.13-PL1.
2. Delete all languages except "en" in 3.0.1-PL1.
3. Upload the files of the full 3.2.2-Package except the folders "/images", "/files", "/store" and the "config.php".
4. Add the folders "/images", "/files", "/store" and the "config.php" of the old 3.0.13-PL1.
Now the tool to clean the DB?
Questions:
Is it necessary to exchange
$dbms = 'mysql';
with
$dbms = 'mysqli';
?
Yes
Which PHP-Version would be the best for this purpose?
Currently running 5.5.35, can change to any (stable) Version up to 7.1.10.
phpBB 3.2.2 requires php 5.7+

No such field in the .config table.stevemaury wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 2:44 pm ...the value of the "version" field in the config table.
Code: Select all
SELECT config_value FROM phpbb_config WHERE config_name = 'version'
phpbb_
, change accordingly.JuergenLumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 4:43 pm the only thing phpbb needs to install is a blank database. there is no prepared type of thing.
if you are still wanting to do what you posted originally then you can install a whole phpbb using a new blank database and then import your old database to it and then update that database. however, if you simply follow the instructions for updating your current board you will wind up with the same thing.
This fails at the point where I want to use the STK. It gives a message like "Emergency Repair Toolkit - missing index rand_seed".
I already tried to give the tool what it expects, but then another missing index ocurs, etc.
also, I seriously doubt that the version field is missing from your config table. most likely you have not viewed all of the rows of that table. if using phpmyadmin you will see a drop down box with page numbers in it at the bottom of the page showing the rows of the config table. keep advancing through the pages until you find the one with that row.
or, do what steve said above .
There's no such field. Steves mysql-command gives an empty result.
