Unable to find phpbb3 settings, Problem with converting to SMF

[NeBeDab]

I have issues with converting phpbb3 to smf 2, I did everything what was said, downloaded sql file and fix from this topic
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=218449.0
I set privilegs for user and mysql databases
then i open the mysite/smf/convert.php[/url]
i put directories links from phpbb3 and smf, put password for smf sql, i set utf-8, and click Continue.

And still i get this error

Unable to find the settings for phpBB3. Please double check the path and try again.

Does any1 know what's the problem?

Thanks

Did you use the converter in that topic, too? If so, it's very old and was done for SMF v1, I believe.

You might want to try here:

Thank you for the welcome


I use that one u recommended me...The same thing happens...

That error is unrelated to database. Please check that the path for phpBB is correct. You should enter that path in the first screen of the converter.

I'm check, i'm double check end i'm triple check...

Same thing happening...

Convertor find the path same, but i check that several times end nothing...

I'm fishing, here...

Is your installation in the root of your site? Or, is it in a subdirectory? Is "open_basedir" enabled? (Don't ask me how you'd check, coz I have no idea, I'm afraid)

Looking at this, it seems that the script looks for the files in the root.

Code Select Expand

Check if open_basedir is enabled.  If it's enabled and the converter file was not found then that means
that the user hasn't moved the files to the public html dir.  With this enabled and the file not found, we can't go anywhere from here.

I could be entirely barking up the wrong tree, though, with that.

Check attachment. Did you set the correct path for phpBB?

Is config.php present in phpBB's root?

[NeBeDab]

Link for the phpbb3 forum is /home/user/public_html/forum
and for smf is /home/user/public_html/smf

Only config file, in this directory /home/user/public_html/forum for phpbb3 I can see is conf_global.php
in root directory /home/user/public_html/ doesnt have config.php

I have no clue whats the problem or where i can find that config.php ?

[margarett]

Hummm... I have a test install of phpBB3 here in my local computer and config.php (where the database connection is stored) is inside its root folder. In your case, it should be
/home/user/public_html/forum
That's where the converter is searching for it...
