What actions did you take (updating your board; installing a MOD, style or extension; etc.) prior to this problem becoming noticeable? I recently (March 2024) updated to 3.3.11 and had a pull down menu issue. There was always one or another pulled down and missing icons I think. I updated to 3.3.12 this morning and site was working okay (no worse, but menu issue still existed) so I decided to update the styles thinking it was outdated and that might be the issue. Instead I got no styles to install (I uploaded 6 that were all 3.3.12) and it kept asking me for a non-existent style.
Please describe your problem.

Now I can't even get in the admin panel. How can I get directly to admin panel? How do I flush out the styles and start with the basic prosilver?

Okay I got into Admin Panel, but I'm still without a style for forum, blank white page, no text at all...

Please describe your problem. While performing the update procedure from phpBB 3.3.11 to 3.3.12 using the Full Package, I encountered this error:

When I updated to 3.3.11, I got some weird errors in the pull down navigation menus. They were open by default? Close one and it opened another on same page. I was hoping updating to 3.3.12 would fix this. It did not. So I tried updating the styles. I loaded styles into folder and it saw 4 of the 6 I had loaded to test out. Instead, none would load or install. I thought maybe the older styles were interfering so I deleted them and then uploaded the default/OEM prosilver style.

Now no styles are showing to install and I get a different error message: "Could not get the style configuration file for: 360Elite". No styles are being found to install no matter which style is uploaded to the styles folder

Did you try to upload the 360Elite style files?
If that was your standard style you can't remove them.

Also start your own topic the next time

What style is it asking for?
Upload that style

Start the update again by following this procedure: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... date_full/

And respect it to the letter

I did. Tried six styles, all marked 3.3.12... none show up or I get message:

Under "Installed Styles" I get this
No uninstalled styles detected.
« Back to previous page

And if under "Styles" I get this:
"Could not get the style configuration file for: prosilver"

Checked for the umpteenth time, prosilver IS loaded into server and in the correct folder. domain/RainNet/styles/prosilver

I've tried multiple styles, one at a time, six at time, nothing worked. I have access to the admin panel and nothing on the forum itself. I am going to try to redo the update per:

In the meantime, thank you all for the help. Forum has been running pretty much trouble free for twenty years...

While trying to make sure I had copy of MySQL database, I discovered there is more than one relating to PHPBB...

brotherr_phpbb1 (this is the original)

and now I see this one, likely from recent update...

brotherr_phpbb3x

I have copied both to my local hard drives. Is one of these disturbing the other in some way?

Moving forward with redoing update...

Check your config.php ... that mentions the database the board is using.

[BrotherRain]

$dbname = 'brotherr_phpbb3x';

I backed up both and they are both OK, I checked status.

[BrotherRain]

Okay, I can access the board but it's not showing any style, still same errors with that function. Checking which styles are uploaded:
Uploading all 3.3.12 styles I have, Prosilver was up but doesn't show in ACP.

[BrotherRain]

Database seems to be working but the styles are not recognized at all.

[BrotherRain]

This is after uploading more 3.3.12 styles and it's not seeing them so I can't install them...

[BrotherRain]

Now it's back to no forum...

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/phpbb/textformatter/s9e/factory.php on line 554: Undefined array key "attachment"

Are styles in the right folder? And how did you do the update?
