So let me just review where I am at:
1) My forum is uploaded to the MYSQL server of my hosting company, but people here say the forum will not work because the SQL version of the web site is 7.1.
2) I have the MYSQL database referenced above exported from the MYSQL server and available on my local machine.
3) I have installed USBwebserver on a flash drive. The documentation for this program is almost non-existent.
4) I have the bigdump.php and localhost.sql files (the latter of which is the export from my old hosting company) on my local machine same as yesterday before they were processed.
5) My forum is no more available online than it was 6 weeks ago.
I agree with Lumpy that starting by setting up a new board into which the old database would be imported is probably easier (and less work), but at this stage I would go for a 3.0.12 and not 3.2.5, just a ascertain that the 3.0.12 is functional.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:54 pm ***similar instructions as in the previous posts***

Also: with USBwebserver port 8080 has to be specified.
[OFFTOPIC]localhost or 127.0.0.1 doesn't make any difference. But if I don't specify port 8080 it doesn't work (not on my previous PC, not on my home PC, not on my home laptop, not on the PC I'm currently on, not on the laptop I use here).Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:31 pm hi, not to go off topic, but, it is not required to use 8080
I use usbwebserver every day and have for a long time. I have never used it . the only time I have seen where it is needed is if you have something else running that is using 80.
That has to be your database user name.$dbuser = '<my PHP user name>';
In phpbb 3.0 the config.php is also in the cache, so empty your cache folder, except the index.html and the htaccessPHPBB3 files from my 3.0.12 version uploaded
