[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: 3.3.12 > 3.3.13 upgrade in parallel?

Is it possible to try/test the upgrade in parallel? in other words can we do the upgrade to a copy to see what breaks? If yes how?

Thank you.

There's an easy option:

Install a personal webserver on your PC and install a perfect copy, All it takes is to copy the whole forum directory to the PWS, and copy the database.You'll need to edit the config.php to reflect the different location and database of the board.
see: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... eb-server/

Since you probably have limited experience I suggest USBwebserver with PHP 8.07: download, extract and it's almost ready for use (the configuration is easier than any other PWS) and it's free.


or (more "difficult")

Copy the board to another host (there are a couple of free hosts). This however requires FTP access.
