I forgot to post a summary of my work for March 2024. Here it is belatedly:
- Tried to move domain to Dreamhost but couldn’t get the upgrade script to work. Client paid me for my time. Later, on my local machine installed a LAMP instance and imported database. Upgrade script ran ok. Moved it to DH and with some help from them brought it up there.
- Updated board from phpBB 3.3.9 to 3.3.11. No extensions or styles needed to be upgraded. Spent an hour or so trying to figure out why client couldn’t login. Eventually decided it must be a bad password issue. Created an ACP account and showed client how password could be changed by the manage users function.
- Updated board from phpBB 3.3.10 to 3.3.11. Placed custom image on landing screen and changed link color to white so it could more easily be read. Installed a new SSL certificate. Would appear in Firefox but not in Vivaldi, although the next day the issue went away for me.
