I just upgraded from ver 3.2 to 3.314 but didn’t change style to prosilver.

[Dlan]

Yes, I know I messed up. Now how do I fix it? The board displays correctly, however I can’t change to another style. I’m getting an error “building the container due to an installed extension”. I have tried clearing the cashe but that didn’t help. Is there any way to fix my mistake?
TIA, Don

Makes sure you have backup of broken style.

If there is updated version of the style delete the old folder on server and upload new version. Clear the cache, if you are having any issues clearing cache from ACP instead using FTP delete everything in cache folder except .htaccess and index.htm.

If no updated versions available post back.

The old style was rain_forest. I had made a lot of changes to it. It doesn't look like it has been updated to 3.314

My mistake I didn't read the error correctly, you also need to disable the extensions. Suggest you restore from backup and follow the step by step directions here:

https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... upgrade32/

For the style you would either need to update it yourself or find something else. For the extensions see if there is updated version or if they are compatible. For compatibility information you can usually find it in the extensions discussion area.

Unfortunately, I was not able to download a backup file. I live in a small town in Ohio and my ISP would let me get half way through the d/l and then knock me offline.
Is there any other way? There are a couple of other styles that I may be able to make work, I just need to get rid of this error so I can try them.

Hello,

Your former custom stylesheet is available on the Wayback Machine (there), from where you can retrieve most of your CSS changes and images.

[Dlan]

That will be helpful, thanks.

Here is a copy of the error message I'm getting,

Code: Select all

phpBB encountered an error building the container due to an installed extension. For this reason, all extensions have been temporarily disabled. Please try purging your forum cache. All extensions will automatically be re-enabled once the container error is resolved. If this error continues, please visit phpBB.com for support.

My mistake I didn't read the error correctly, you also need to disable the extensions.

If you get any errors trying to disable extensions in the ACP there is guide here how to do it:

https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... s-at-once/

See if error persists, if not go into styles page and install prosilver and set it as default. Remove your custom style because it's no longer valid for phpBB 3.3.X

As far as the extensions go you'll need to see if there is any updated versions, otherwise delete data through ACP and then delete the files.

[Dlan]

That took care of the errors, thank you

[Dlan]

Well, the errors are gone, but I’m still having trouble installing a new style. The ACP shows a list of uploaded styles. Yet when I select one and hit install it disappears from the list. However, there are no changes to the board. I checked the styles directory and they’re still there. I even tried re-uploading them, no change to the list. When I choose styles from the left-hand menu I get an error message “Could not get the style configuration file for: rain_forest” I tried uploading a copy of rain_forest, but then I got an error message “Could not get the style configuration file for: latte”

Do you know if all the information for the board is contained in the database? I was wondering what would happen if I deleted the forum folder from the server and did a complete board install. I was able to download the database to my computer, so I should be able to re-upload that.

[warmweer]

Are those styles the latest version (for 3.3.14)?

[Dlan]

Yes, all are for version 3.314
They are FTH_Tropic, Square and Supernova

[thecoalman]

Have you been able to remove the rain_forest style and Is prosilver installed and working?

If not that is your first step. Most styles require prosilver.

[cabot]

“Could not get the style configuration file for: foo”

You have deleted styles from the FTP without first uninstalling them. They are therefore still registered in the database.
When you get this message, simply send the corresponding style back on the FTP then you can proceed to uninstall it.

In absolute terms, you don't even need to send all the files for an old style. Simply create a directory with the name indicated in the error message and add a style.cfg file to it, even empty, in which case you'll get a warning but that won't prevent you from uninstalling the style.

[Dlan]

I finally got it fixed. I uploaded the style for Latte and that seemed to do it. Everything showed up under styles with no errors. I was then able to choose a style.


I want to say thanks for all the responses, with your help and some trial and error I was able to get it working.
