The end of phpBB2

[HB]

It was a major hassle migrating to version 3, but it was worth it, if only for the performance boost.

Oh sh!t, looks like I may have to upgrade at some point then

I am on a dedicated server, which already was on php5, but it had to be changed back to 4 for phpbb2 to work.

There are so many mods installed on my board that it will be a real shame to have to update to phpbb3 and loose them all

Many mods could become useless with phpBB3, especially the admin/user mods. For scripts that would add pages to phpBB, some could be pretty easy to port, but for sure it's some work.
See this as an occasion to do an even better site

Maybe not is so hurry.

i have made one phpbb2.023 that is depending on the paypal mod scubscriptions for customer

I think I have checked this much mod phpbb and it does look like it is work all ok on php5

Some quotes From phpbb.com

phpBB 2.0.23 will run on most PHP5 installations.
(It's not guaranteed to run on all, phpBB3 was designed for PHP5 compatibility>)



One way of finding out is installing Xampp on your computer and then install a copy of your liveboard on your own computer. Xampp has a php version switcher that allows you to run on either php4 or php5. This way you can check all your boards' functions on both php4 and php5 before changing your liveboard to the new server.
