Steps to reproduce

I tried to install phpBB , but encountered issues when I tried to install via the dietpi-software.

1. Start dietpi-software
2. Select phpBB
3. Install

Expected behaviour

This should result in phpBB being installed without any FAILED steps

Actual behaviour

The install fails at the curl command.

[FAILED] DietPi-Software | curl -sSfL 3.3.15 -o 3.3.15
[ ..   ]curl: (28) Failed to connect to 3.3.0.15 port 80 after 135252 ms: Couldn't connect to server

Extra details

It seems like it was trying to get the file from 3.3.15 which is not correct. So I changed the command to https://download.phpbb.com/pub/release/3.3/3.3.15/phpBB-3.3.15.zip
[ INFO ] DietPi-Software | Executing alternative command: curl -sSfL https://download.phpbb.com/pub/release/3.3/3.3.15/phpBB-3.3.15.zip -o 3.3.15
This helped to get the file, but it would fail at the next step. It seems to expect the extracted folder. So I unzipped the folder and the install continued until the end without any failed steps.

Later during the initial run to setup phpBB, I also got an errors that the folders cache/, store/, images/ and files/ in /var/www/phpbb were not writeable. Since I did not know which user it should be assigned to I just gave write rights to the group and others. (chmod go+w )

As I do not know if how the curl should have gone, I don't know if those followup errors were the result of my manual tinkering. Which works for me as a workaround at the moment.

Thanks, we migrated to a new API to obtain the latest version, but missed to force the download URL accordingly. The new API returns only the version string, not the full URL. Fixed for next release with: 4ba8b21

Triggered a test install: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/actions/runs/22286345625
