Hi Hagar and forum users/admins,
https://forum-test.openoffice.org/ <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!
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks, that sounds a good plan, especially providing a plan B!
I've added you as admin for both English forums (standard and test boards).
I've sent you by PM (in the regular forum) the list of the native language
admins.
I'll try to monitor the list and the forum more closely during daytime (France
time) in the next few days, just in case.
Note that acknak has also admin rights on the board, he's in the US.

Hi Hagar / Forum Admins,
We must do a forum migration to new VMs by Friday, November 30th.
It turns out that many of the errors we had in June testing are due to
incompatibilities between PHP 7 and phpBB 3.0.x and 3.1.x. Specifically BBCodes
use a php method that is no longer supported in PHP 7.
In order for me to better perform the migration I need you to grant my ID
(dave2wave) full admin rights on both the current production and also forum
test.
Also, please provide to me the email addresses to each forums admins so that I
can provide any setup instructions.
I am in the San Francisco area and will be online by 16:00 UTC.
Regards,
Dave
