Topic: [SMF Converter] IPB 2.0.x

[sokoll]

Hi!
What's new?

[SleePy]

Does this one work

[sokoll]

Hi, sorry! I tested your sript, but it caused an error
I understood that it was a test base -  MySQL 5.0.45, but real one - phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1 MySQL 3.23.58.
Could You help me in this case?

[SleePy]

Where did you get the first one btw?

What errors are you getting?

I would highly recommend contacting your host and ask about MySQL version and possibly upgrading if they are using such an old version of MySQL (3.23.58). MySQL 4.x.x itself is no longer supported by MySQL AB and so is MySQL 3.x.x.

Hi, ok! What version MySQL will be better for this converter?

[SleePy]

Personally I would recommend any MySQL 5 version (I am using the latest 5.0 release which is 5.0.51 5.0.67 I believe) as it is supported by the MySQL AB team and has improvements over the older versions, but even having any version of MySQL 4 would be better than what you currently have.

If you are going to upgrade MySQL, please make sure to read the MySQL documentation on upgrading and have backups incase the worse happens.

Hi, I backup Data Base hosts  MySQL (3.23.58) and restored at localhost ( MySQL 5.0.45). Started converter and it caused an error

Alright, hopefully this one gets it.

Hi, thank you! Congratulations, you are  the best!
Converter is finished, but there are some errors. Look file.

Well it appears that a few attachments and some avatars did not convert. If that isn't a worry to you then you can ignore those.

For the avatars not converting it looks like it is missing a setting that tells it where the avatars are uploaded.

For attachments it looks like the attachments path may be incorrect.

I am trying convert my invision 2.0.3 for SMF, but I receive message:

Converting...
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)

[N. N.]

Can you please make sure to use the last package for download on the Downloads > Converters page, for SMF 2.0 RC3? (or to confirm if you were using it)

Trying to convert ipb 2.0.4 free hosted to SMF 2.0.

I downloaded the .sql backup of my ipb, imported it into a new database.  Downloaded SMF 2.0, installed it to the SAME db with the same user and perms.   Installed the convert files, created a custom conf_global.php, put it in the correct place, gave it the correct parameters, and the conversion starts...

except..

"Converting...
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)"

Any suggestions?

i get this as well. there are posts about this all over the forum with no real solution. i'm surprised a major error like this has persisted in the converters.
