Hi All,

I am pretty new to using SMF, and I would like to use it and export all the current data from PHPBB2. However I keep getting error and aren't able to do so.

I downloaded/installed the stable version.

Please, can someone help me and point me to the right direction as to how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Here is the message I'm getting:

The installation of SMF in the path you specified is not a version this converter can deal with. If it is older than SMF 1.0, you need to upgrade first. If it is newer, you need to use a different converter.

And what version of SMF are you using?

I am using the stable released version 1.05

Where did you download your converter?

Strange. For as far as I know this one should work on a 1.0.5 install:

Did you remove the phpbb2_to_smf.sql file before trying this 1.0.x convertor?

xenovanis - the 1.0.5 converter won't even find the sql file, so it shouldn't really matter if it's there or not.

Yeah, still not working for me. Can you suggest what I should do next?

Can you give me temporary ftp and mysql access so I can take a look?
