[Solved]After restore post image are looks weird.

Post by greensh »

Hi. Could someone help me out about file backup and restore please?
I have been using Phpbb ver 3.3.0 and works great!
my Current server is
phpbb 3.3.0
php 7.4.3

And I tried to backup and restore all data to new my server.
I installed fresh phpbb that is 3.3.8 runs at php 8.0.22
I can see post nad forums but post images are all broke.
I just copy files dir and upload to my new server.

Could you please teach me what is wrong?

Thank you for responed me.

I backup at ACP backup page.
I select all tables then select gzip.

this is my back up file name
backup_1660268159_kia2204lenqld0iy.sql.gz

then I open new phpbb3.3.8 acp page and
select the file and restord.

and I installed maxthon theme. and
all forums show up but no post images.

so I just download files and images dir and
upload to my new phpbb3.3.8.

phpBB renames and removes the extensions from files uploaded as attachments and stored in the files folder for security reasons.
Copying those files (extensionless) requires that your FTP client transfers those in binary mode. You probably copied in ASCII mode.
Check your FTP client settings
For Filezilla see https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ticle/ftp/
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.
