A phpBB package comes with an INSTALL.html in /docs.
INSTALL.html includes a lot of information, particularly

4. Updating from stable releases of phpBB 3.3.x
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.

Update from 3.3.10 to 3.3.14 (PHP8.1) - Testboard with severe limitations of the server (disabled fsockopen, cUrl...)

Problem due to automatic version checking. The "General" page of the ACP is no longer accessible.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method RuntimeException::get_parameters() in /users/subsidi/www/includes/acp/acp_main.php:463 

Stack trace: 
#0 /users/subsidi/www/includes/functions_module.php(684): acp_main->main('main', 'main') 
#1 /users/subsidi/www/adm/index.php(81): p_master->load_active() 
#2 {main} thrown in /users/subsidi/www/includes/acp/acp_main.php on line 463
The update worked smoothly.
My 2 cents: Whether an extension is in the CDB says nothing about its quality. It is more important to read the support topics for it. Better to avoid authors who do not answer support questions themselves, who do not update their stuff, and who do not fix bugs for years.

Thank you for the update.

I just successfully updated from version 3.3.13 to version 3.3.14 manually. I am using PHP 8.2.25.

@Scanialady
I had the same problem, I solved it like this:
Open: root/includes/acp/acp_main.php
Find:

Code: Select all

		if ($auth->acl_get('a_board'))
Replace with:

Code: Select all

			if ($auth->acl_get('a_board') && (function_exists('fsockopen')))
The ‘General’ page of the ACP will then be accessible again.

It was not my intention to post a support request here. My post was simply a notification about an error related to this update.

My post wasn't specifically directed at you. There have been previous incidents of users posting support requests in release topics. In fact, this one I think was originally posted in this topic before it was split off. So basically, it was a general reminder to everyone. 🙂

Thanks to all involved in this release. Per standard operating procedure (SOP) I've updated a number of boards from 3.3.13 to 3.3.14 using the Full Package method. Including time to backup database it took less than 5 minutes to update. Boards running on PHP 8.3.x without issue.

My moderators are happy to have their Disapprove/Approve buttons back. 👍
