[3.3.x] Support Forum • UCP module manager throwing error 500

Trying to correct an error and having no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

It's a 500 error, which is probably a syntax issue, when trying to view the UCP module manager.
(ACP > system > module management > user control panel)

• I have rolled back every single file I have edited, back to the original phpbb file. (I always save the first clean copy of the original phpbb file from this install.) This includes every file whether it seems relevant or not, even the header, footer, and language. I started with where I thought the error might be and kept rolling back more and more files because the error still would not resolve.

• Now I've gone through the entire (forums) folder and all subdirectories and currently there are no edited files being called. Every file should be back to being the original phpbb file. (So maybe there is a file missing.)

• There's nothing in the server logs or the phpbb error logs.

• I've searched for how to enable debugging in phpbb, found config.php, and removed the comment markers from the "@debug=true." Still, I'm not seeing any errors posted in any of the logs (server or phpbb) or on the screen.

• Yes I've cleared the cache, board cookies, and site data from the browser, and started with brand new instances of the web page (ad nauseum). Error still manifesting, error still not listed anywhere.

• The ACP and MCP module management pages work correctly, only the UCP module mgmt page throws the 500 error. They all seem to call from a similar operation: (sid removed for brevity)
  forums/adm/index.php?(sid=xxx)&i=acp_modules&mode=ucp
  forums/adm/index.php?(sid=xxx)&i=acp_modules&mode=acp
  forums/adm/index.php?(sid=xxx)&i=acp_modules&mode=mcp

• The actual UCP works correctly from the user end. I clicked every tab (which seems to translate into "every module") and they all work correctly. Was hoping I'd find one that didn't work and that might point to the problem. But no, all seems to work correctly on the user's UCP. It's just in the admin panel if you want to adjust the modules displayed on the user's UCP, *that* page is throwing the 500 error.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
