SMF Version: SMF 1.0.7
I was having a whale of a problem getting the converter to convert a phpbb board to SMF 1.0.7 this morning... in fact, I wasted most of my morning. :P
The SMF install was done through Fantastico, and I could not get it to work. I solved the problem by uploading all the new install SMF files to the server and running install.php and installed it.
Next, I ran the conversion script and it went without a hitch. ;D
SO... I learned today, if you don't have to do a conversion, using Fantastico is fine. If you need to convert from phpbb, do a manual install.
Hope this saves someone a couple of hours of work. ;)
