I am trying to find some guidance on where to go next on the issue I am having migrating a phpbb3 site from one hosting service to another.
I have checked to make sure the config.php file has been changed to work on the new server, as well as the common.php file. I am getting a HTTP 500 error when I try to search for the forum. The main site is working normally, just the message board is having a problem.
Nothing about the structure of the sites pages has changed, only the hosting server. (I downloaded a copy of the website before moving it so I have everything in the exact way it was before, just on the new server.)
Do I need to install phpbb onto the server itself with Softaculous?
Anything would help, I need to get the site back up and running soon.
Thanks in advance. Jacob
The php version on the new hosting services server was above what phpBB 3.0.x needed. I upgraded phpBB to version 3.2.9 and the issue was resolved.
