Hi,

all that I get is: "Unable to find the settings for Burning Board Lite 2.0. Please double check the path and try again."

/home/test/wwwroot is WBB's dir
/home/board.test.de/wwwroot is SMF's dir

with phpmyadmin I set the DB permissions of the WBB DB to:

GRANT SELECT , REFERENCES , CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES , LOCK TABLES , SHOW VIEW , EXECUTE ON `wcf` . * TO 'board_zw'@'localhost';

SMF ver. is 2RC3

Why does it fail?

Ah, in cli mode I get:

# php5 convert.php --path_to=/home/board.test.de/wwwroot --path_from=/home/test/wwwroot/board --convert_script=wbblite2_to_smf.sql --db_pass=foo_bar

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF
cannot access the installation of Burning Board Lite 2.0.  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: Incorrect database name ''


So the converter script is broken, I think.
