Hi Hagar and forum users/admins, https://forum-test.openoffice.org/
>> (1) Attempt to use newest phpBB 3.2.4 which works with php 7. I’ve examined >> the code and it looks right. I dug further and language packs for Hungarian and Japanese are not available. I think that we need to look into this carefully before we migrate to 3.2.4. Also, new have subsilver2 theme installed. It does not look like we use it, but it is not offered for 3.2.4. We will need to do more careful testing of all of the language forums. >> >> (2) If (1) is difficult then we will downgrade to php 5. I chose to have Infra downgrade PHP to version 5.6. Thanks Chris (fluxo)! >> >> (3) Sync up from current forums. Synced up files, avatars and databases. I will need two hours to do this either late Thursday or early Friday. >> >> (4) Add warning about migration downtime to current production. I think you did this sufficiently. >> >> (5) Create a blocking httpd configuration for during the migration I think I will just stop apache httpd. (6) Community Testing. Please start testing!
