Gateway Timeout

I'm getting a Gateway Timeout when trying to enable the 1.0.7 version.
I was on 3.1.10 and changed to 1.0.7 and then upgrade to 3.2.1, and now when I try to enable, it goes and goes and then, timeout.
Is there a way to enable this via ssh?

Get the server logs from the host to see why the error is being generated.

I guess it was a problem with cloudflare CDN. I changed to Let's Encrypt and then it enabled right away. Dunno if it was related, but well. I've saw the log but nothing about this incident.

Yeah cloudflare is known to cause issues if it isn't setup correctly.

I got the same problem (phpbb 3.2.2), but in my case the database (MariaDB) seems to be at fault: the operation to ALTER the posts table took 10 minutes so the extension activation thre a timeout.

Is there a way to manually activate the extension (e.g. by doing the SQL-commands directly)?

Thanks!

I have the same problem. The script to delete the "worker files" is running since 35 minutes.

I had a look in mysql process list and there is only one process "UPDATE phpbb_ext SET ext_state = 'b:1;' WHERE ext_name = 'rmcgirr83/stopforumspam'".
