nope, you have to import that sql file into a database at first.. you would also need the file /admin/config.php from your old vBulletin installation.

you can emulate that file if you don't have your old vBulletin files.. the should contain at least this:

--- Code: ---<?php
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'name_of_your_database';
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'vb_';
?>
--- End code ---
name_of_your_database needs to be replaced with your database name.
vb_ is the table prefix  for your vBulletin tables.

I'm new to this. So let me see if I understand the steps.

Host: Godaddy.
Current software: vBulleton 3.6.5

So, the steps...

1. Download and extract SMF2.x
2. Upload SMF to host in it's own directory. Not the same directory as vbulleton.
3. Download and extract conversion software.
4. Upload conversion software to smf directory.
5. Run convert.php from web browser.

Is that it? Is there more? Did I miss something?

Antes:
You need to install SMF first :) (on same or different database) prefixes must be different.

And yes your all other steps are true :)

* and get a backup for safety

SkellyCA:
so step...

2a. Install smf. Same dastabase, different prefix.

What does the different prefix do?
