[gnagis]

can i still convert the db only in some way? the converter for installer needs a path to phpbb to work so that i cant use

From what to 3.1?
From 3.0?

No part of going from 3.0 to 3.1 involves needing a path.

[gnagis]

the old site used 3.0.8

Your config.php file needs to be correct.

Rebuilding Your config.php File


Apart from this, follow this

Notes:

• Your server must be running at least PHP 5.3.3
• Most MODs for 3.0.x are incompatible with 3.1.x and their functionality will be removed in the update process.
• Styles for 3.0.x cannot be installed or used on 3.1.x.

1. Backup up your board's files and database
2. Deactivate all styles except for prosilver
3. Ensure that the activated spambot countermeasure is one of the standard phpBB plugins (Simple image, GD image, GD 3D image, Q&A, reCaptacha).
4. Set British English as the only language pack
5. Delete all of your phpBB 3.0.x files EXCEPT for the following:
   • The config.php file
   • The /images/ directory
   • The /files/ directory
   • The /store/ directory
6. Upload the contents of the phpBB3 directory from the uncompressed 3.1.x Full Package (EXCEPT for config.php) into your forum's directory (Note: you don't want to overwrite your original config.php file)
7. Browse to www.example.com/install/database_update.php
8. Delete the /install/ directory

That's probably caused by a BBcode MOD you had.

Upload the Support Toolkit and run the database cleaner to see if that fixes it.

Is better, because of very old software, to try this steps:

1 - d/l a fresh full package of 3.0.8
2 - install it as a fresh Board, an empty one.. and delete the install folder. Do nothing else.
3 - import your old 3.0.8 DB on it (if very big, using bigdump in order to repopulate it as it was.)
4 - you then probably need to adjust some little bits, in config.php if I correctly recall.

To add:
once you got the 3.0.8 working you can update first to 3.0.14 and only once also this step is done you could consider to upgrade to 3.1.9... following the steps required.

Every step followed by the other one etc..

download the 3.0.8 full package from here:
