I resolved by running the database update from via a shell command rather than from the board, as documented here:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... /upgrade3/
=========From your board's root, execute the following command: php ./bin/phpbbcli.php db:migrate --safe-mode
My original post:
Board worked fine with 3.2.3
I am attempting to update to 3.2.4
Followed instructions to Update with Full Package.
I get a timeout error as soon as I click the "update" button.
In ACP panel, under "system", I get the message, "your phpBB installation has not been correctly updated." and instructions to "Visit the database updater, ensure Update database only is selected and click on Submit. Don't forget to delete the "install"-directory after you have updated the database sucessfully."
However, in the installer I do not have the option to select "Update database only". When I go to the update tab, no links are active (clickable)- I can only click "update" from the "Introduction section".
Doing that brings up a page that includes this statement:
"The following files do not exist in the new version. These files have to be deleted from your installation.
Deleted file
phpbb/install/module/obtain_data/task/obtain_imagick_path.php"
When I click the Update Files button, I get the timeout error-- again, this is immediate. I tried manually deleting the file noted above and it not make any difference.
PHP Error log shows, "PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method ftp::transfer() in /my/path/install/update/new/includes/functions_transfer.php:284"
Running PHP 7.2.12.
