First off, apologies and thanks to anybody readying this - I did my knuckleheaded best to avoid posting here, as I know I'm now one of so many similar posts (this is because I've read a lot of them in the hopes of finding the solutions I seek).

What is your board's URL? http://forums.kerberos-productions.com/phpBB3
Who do you host your board with? A2hosting

What language(s) is your board currently using? British English
Which database type/version are you using? MySQL(i) 8.0.32 (as per phpbb General / Statistic)
What is your level of experience? New to PHP longtime use phpBB, but Grog still caveman, no understand magic box of light.
What actions did you take (updating your board; installing a MOD, style or extension; etc.) prior to this problem becoming noticeable? Fresh install of 3.2.0 to match database version. Followed phpbb instructions for dropping in updated files;
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... upgrade32/
Please describe your problem. The fresh install seemed to work OK, so I moved on to updating to 3.3.11. Following the instructions, all went well, except when I tried to use the browser installer to update the database, I get to Set Installation Data, I set it to update database only, and when I Submit, it briefly lists;

I check the logs, and the log files for both the browser attempt and the CLI attempt contain;
At which point, I'm now not sure how to proceed.
The only additional info I can think to look for are any errors on the boards themselves, and there are a few - mostly it runs fine, but also if I try a new post, I get;

The problem is I don't know if these are from 3.3.11 files running with 3.2.0 database that would be fixed if the database can be updated, or if they are an indication of something hanging loose in the database.
I've poked around myphpadmin, did an optimization here, found a password there, pat myself on the back, but that is sharks and nightmares all the way down to me, if I'm honest. But, if I can just find out why the car won't start, well, I can try a little reading or find a little help.
As at the start, thanks and apologies for being MY BOARD WON'T UPDATE #239848230985. You're all awesome.

This was anticipated, as my database is around 1.4G, but I gave it a try anyhow.The installer detected a timeout
The installer has detected a timeout, you may try to refresh the page, which may lead to data corruption. We suggest that you either increase your timeout settings or try to use the CLI.
So I head to the terminal on my host cpanel and follow the CLI instructions. Hit enter, instant new prompt, zero feedback if anything has happened. Check board, ACP says;
Bah. So that's when I took to the support forms. I checked the config file to read;Files Version

Then I tried it as

Screeeee! I have no idea what any of this means (I understand "apply" and versions, and something about a captcha plugin (see above template where I go maaaaaay we had some anti-spam things jammed in way back when).
