Title: Filling up Form Data -- Database Name and Table Prefix...
Post by: rdomalpalli on May 15, 2008, 05:06:15 PM
Hi All,

   I'm trying to convert from phpbb to smf. I used to have a database that I was accessing with phpbb earlier.

   When installing smf, what should I fillup in the form for Database Name and Table Prefix?

   Should I use the original names that I had in phpbb or should I choose new ones (i.e. the default ones that smf gives) ?

Thanks,
Rajnesh

It really depends on what you want and what you have available.

As long as the forums are using at least a different prefix, they can share the same database.
