Lost my Forum

Post by DougMPhoto »

I had a forum, but it has not been used for awhile (8 months or more). I cannot access it. I am getting an internal server error. My provider cannot help me with this. I am able to access with phpMyAdmin
I do not know what version I had. Is there any way to find out the version or should I chuck it all and do a full new install and rebuild from scratch.

Thanks for any help

I Searched a little further and I have a folder phpBB3 in my website's files. I just don't know the sub-version

In phpMyAdmin see the config_table, field version to get the database version. In phpMyAdmin you can also see the php-version used
Since you can access the board files, /styles/prosilver/style.cfg will tell you the version of the board files.

Report those and we'll take it from there.

Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
