One of the admins tried to use the auto update and found that it has problems. so I went ahead and used the full version. I also found out that they did not disable the mods or set prosilver as the style. now when I run the update I get to update files and it shows the following in yellow: [phpBB Debug] "Unable to open file ../store/update_archive_1544414864_5c0de690a1624.zip [wb]" in file /opt/bitnami/apps/phpbb/htdocs/includes/functions_compress.php on line 222
[phpBB Debug] "fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given" in file /opt/bitnami/apps/phpbb/htdocs/includes/functions_compress.php on line 416
No matter what I do I cant seem to get passed the update files portion. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

It seems no matter what I do it is looking for a file in the store directory that is not there. if I hit retest it changes the file name it cant find. What am I missing??????

Forget the autoupdate.
first set the style by execting these SQLs
UPDATE phpbb_styles SET style_active = 1 WHERE style_name = 'prosilver';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 1 WHERE config_name = 'override_user_style';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 1 WHERE config_name = 'default_style'
Use the full package (do not overwrite your config.php. Remove /installer and /production from your /cache. Remove io_lock.lock and any migrationsxxxxx in /store and run /install/app.php and database only. if that doesn't work then you'll have to remove mods (perhaps by restoring the previous version first.

What do you mean with delete everything? files/database?
extensions don't have to be deleted but disabled. And once your forum is up and running, check for updates and reenable the extensions 1 by 1 so that you can identify those that break the board.
All Extensions can be disabled in 1 movement by running this file (to be uploaded to your root). (remove the file after use).

I meant I deleted everything from the root via ftp, I have all my files, ext, styles, images etc.. saved before doing this, and tried to install a fresh copy leaving out the ext and styles and it didnt work. I copied my DB back up back into its location but still get the same problem

Are you saying you installed a new board, and then replaced the database it was using (the fresh one) by your old database? (I doubt that will work)
Do you have a backup from before the update? (so that you can restore - and accept the loss of a couple of posts)

Why
What manual did you follow ?
Starting all over again is the best option I think.
From what I was told they followed the instructions found in the acp panel for updating. they saved all files and backed up the database then tried to update using the auto updater. I was then notified and found where it said the auto updater did not work and the knowledge base article to do a full install, which noted that all extensions and mods needed to be off and style set to prosilver. Which I attempted to do but got the listed errors. in the mean time while doing this through FTP Icopied all my phpbb files then deleted them and copied in the files for 3.2.4 then added my files, images, config.php and copied my database backups to the store folder where I found them. this led me to the errors I am getting. nothing seems to change it

I copied all the phpbb files from the root but they already had the auto updater files added

Did you do this?
When an autoupdate fails, files are left behind which cause the autoupdate to resume where it left (meaning you'll get the error again).
Removing the files and directories I mentioned is necessary to stop the autoupdate from taking over.
And I have a vague memory of stevemaury mentioning another file somewhere which had to be removed (I'll poke him).

Got a poke right back and false alarm, no extra file to be deleted. (I had probably forgotten that a week ago I thought I had forgotten another file, which turned out not be true but I seem to be forgetting lots of things nowadays )
