Migration from 3.2 to 3.3.15 - Post counts visble but all forums gone

Post by maltokyo »

I had an old installation (v3.2) which is working fine, but was on a docker image that is no longer supported. So I did an export of the database, and imported on a fresh install of the latest version (v3.3.15).

I also updated the DB (using the install directory) and it went fine with no errors.

Now, strangely, I can see the post counts which are correct (see screenshot1)

But there are no Forums at all available, and I cannot (as super admin!) even see the Forums or posts (see other screenshots), it looks like a brand new installation...

Please help, how can I make the Forum and Posts available to view again?

Not sure what is causing that, but maybe try and first get the 3.2 board running, and then doing the recommended upgrade method: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... upgrade32/
