500 Errors on Cache Purge Redux

There is no other way of knowing what triggers the fateful error 500, one thing is for sure, it is a server-related error. phpBB does not produce the error, until proven otherwise, which we do not have at this point.

I would still be interested to know if the problem exists with the files from here rather than the "one click" install files.

I haven't forgotten, David! I'm struggling with this well-known error at the moment:
"The installer detected a timeout"
"The installer has detected a timeout, you may try to refresh the page, which may lead to data corruption. We suggest that you either increase your timeout settings or try to use the CLI."

As I recall, this has to do with a MySQL timeout error, which I will get around to poking soon.

Thank you. I edited install/startup.php per the patch, dropped the database and reinstantiated, and restarted the install - but I still get the same error, at the same percentage completion:

My recollection was faulty; the MySQL parameter I was remembering relates to importing a database. I presume the timeout here is a PHP timeout? There are these two entries in my php.ini file, but it seems unlikely either of them were exceeded:

Code: Select all

max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 90

You should report that to the tracker: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-16292

We are going OFF TOPIC here, your issue has been already discussed to death IMHO.

That tracker link reads like stereo instructions to me - I'm not sure I can contribute there. But I agree, this is a tangential issue, out of scope for this thread. I've opened another request.
