Error convertion

carlospok:
I upload the sms2-0_invision2.3_converter (my IPB use 3.3.0.. but it's the same)

And the converter tell me this error

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of Invision Power Board 2.3. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the Database account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error that was received from the Database was: SELECT command denied to user 'wwwmundo_new'@'localhost' for table 'ipb_members'

I look own and

his converter assumes you have already installed SMF and that your installation is working properly. It copies posts and data from your "source" installation of Invision Power Board 2.3 into SMF, so it won't work without an installation of SMF. All or some of the data in your installation of SMF will be overwritten.
If the two softwares are installed in separate directories, the Database account SMF was installed using will need access to the other database. Either way, both must be installed on the same Database server.

I need the installation files of smf?

Colin:
The issue seems to be with the mySQL user for your IPB mySQL database. Can you verify that is correct please?

IchBin™:
The issue is likely that your SMF database user that you use for mysql cannot access the database that you have IPB installed in. You need to grant the SMF database user access to that database. If you don't know how to do that, I would contact your host and ask if they can show you.

Colin:
If your host runs cPanel please follow the steps below:

To define a user’s privileges:
Under Add User to Database, select a user from the User drop-down menu.
From the Database drop-down menu, select the database to which you wish to allow the user access.
Click Add.
From the MySQL Account Maintenance screen, select the privileges you wish to grant the user, or select ALL PRIVILEGES.
Click Make Changes.

IchBin™:
Thanks Colin. Somehow I just realized I missed your post before mine. Sorry I didn't mean to make it seem like you were ignored or anything. lol
