If currently you only imported the backup into a new database, you need to create a board that accesses that database, then test it to ensure it's fully functional, and then update (which implies uploading the 3.3.4 fileset and then running database update only - see the update instructions).
the version of your database: see the config_table: field version
Of course it doesn't: the php version you should use depends on the phpBB version: see the requirements: since it's a 3.3.x board you can use php 7.1.3+ up to 7.4.x (I would disadvise using php 8.0.x at this time).
I you want to access that database using phpBB, you'll need to use the phpBB version mentioned in the database, so you'll need the phpBB files and a config.php pointing to the host/port/database name, database user and password, ow almost forgot also the prefix used for the tables. Use the config.php of the original board if you install the same version at the same location (if you made a backup of the files then you can just use the same fileset and won't need to edit anything).
You are looking at the table structure - you want that data - click on the Browse tab
and that's page 1 containing the first 24 entries (348 in total), the field version will probably be on the last page (or the one before that).

Perhaps you need to get hands-on help by posting in the Wanted! forum. Although we are happy to continue to do our best here in your topic.
No, you have to upload 3.3.3 files to your server. (not install a 3.3.3 board)I suppose the next step is to instal phpbb 3.3.3
Restoring a backup is simple but you want to make a new/testing board with your backup and that is more complex than only restoring your backupMy whole point is that to restore a backup is much more complicated than is presented.
Thank you, I am uploading now the 3.3.3janus_zonstraal wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 10:20 pmNo, you have to upload 3.3.3 files to your server. (not install a 3.3.3 board)I suppose the next step is to instal phpbb 3.3.3
Than edit a existing config.php file with the new database settings and upload it to the server.
Or make a new confog.php file see: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... gphp-file/
