I,m trying to convert my xmb 1.9.1 to smf but i get this error:

Notice: Undefined index: charsets in ....../smf/smf_1-1-2_xmb_converter/convert.php on line 328
Converting topics... Duplicate entry '501' for key 1

I,m on this step:
convert.php?step=1&substep=7&start=500

I did use the latest convert.php and xmb_to_smf.sql from the forums. Any ideas anyone?

[OMGitsDALE]

I tried converting and i get this at step 1: "Not allowed to run this file directly."

Any suggestions? :\

Did you try running it again?

Converting to SMF

[OMGitsDALE]

EDIT: Nevermind. It WAS something obvious and I fixed it. Haha. But there's another problem, whenever I put in the link to SMF, I get this:

This converter was unable to find SMF in the path you specified.

Please double check the path, and that it is already installed there.

[OMGitsDALE]

I've tried everything I can think of, and I still get the error I post about. Except when I change the links to the same (except them ending) I get the first error I posted. And then when I change one, it says the one I just posted. :\ I don't know what to do?

[JayBachatero]

Need to run convert.php not the other file.

[OMGitsDALE]

I am running convert.php though? I read the "Converting to SMF" document a whole bunch of times and nothing is working.

[JayBachatero]

Is SMF installed?

[WTF]

I'm trying to convert XMB 1.9.8 to SMF and I keep getting the error "Not allowed to run this file directly." I have followed the directions for converting and nothing works. The information is right, SMF is installed in a separate directory, the paths seem to be right... what am I doing wrong?

[auspuff]

Did you try running it again?

Yes I did, a couple of times actually, no luck. I started again from scratch and now i,m also getting the same errors as OMGitsDALE:
This converter was unable to find SMF in the path you specified.
Please double check the path, and that it is already installed there.

Hope this issue can be fixed!

You are running convert.php correct?

Is the convert.php in the same directory as SMF?

No matter what I do. This converter is not working. I have been at this for two weeks now. I've been on here and I've uploaded the latest fixes and convert.php for this forum and nothing is working correctly.

This is the error that I continuously keep getting.

Caused the error:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LENGTH(code) DESC' at line 2

I've noticed that none of the code changes I made in the convert.php for that specific issue work either. Yes, I replaced that line of coding and yes it was overwritten. I ran convert.php and everything the database users are all hooked up and this is not working at all. Getting a bit frustrated. May just have to give up and stick with XMB if I can't get this converted correctly very soon here. Not sure what is going on. I've done just about everything. I will not delete and re-install the SMF forum again because that is getting frustrating.

Are you using the .sql file attached to the first post in this topic?

[CaribbeanBreeze]

Yes. I've used everything for the conversion from this topic.

[SleePy]

Try this one.

[CaribbeanBreeze]

YAY! That one worked. Thanks SleePy! :-)

I have the EXACT same thing happening with me.  Trying to convert from XMB 1.9.8 to SMF... and I get the same error.  I am pretty good experienced at creating databases and users.  SMF has access to the XMB database.

Using the converter is quite easy also... all the information is correct.

Is the converter up-to-date for XMB 1.9.8?

[SleePy]

Common conversion errors.

If that doesn't help, could you pm me the contents of the /config.php file from your xmb software?

[PatrickPriest]

i sent it.
