Hi there,
I got question. I got only my old database sql exported file. Is it possible to convert it to SMF?
Greetings
Pedro
Yes.
You just have to create a database, import that sql file.
Take a look at the docs for more information: Converting to SMF (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=4.0;sort=subject)
Thanks.
But have I to use Converter?
Yes.
You need to convertor to convert from vBulletin to SMF.
But how to make without vBulletin files? As I wrote in the first post I got only Database, but vBulletin is on the server.
/I'm gonna take care about somebody's site/
What to do?
You don't need the vBulletin files.
You only need the database.
So import that sql file into the database.
Install SMF as normal and then run the convertor
http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=15
I know.
But I installed SMF, imported vBulletin database, but what path to vBulletin have I to put in Convertor?
I always get Unable to find the settings for vBulletin 3.5. Please double check the path and try again.
I mean the second box, under the SMF path box.
Look at attachment:)
Oh, thought the convertor asked for the database information.
Anyway, I'm not sure this will work, but you can give it a try.
Download the attachment and change the servername, dbusername, dbpassword and dbname to the correct values.
Then upload it to a folder on your host, eg /vb
Then enter that path with in the convertor.
But like I said, I don't know if it'll work, but you can give it a shot ;)
[edit]
That config file is from vB 3.0.7 though, don't have any recent version.
If you can get your hands on a config.php for vB 3.6 do that.
But you can try this one first.
On my localhost doesn't work.
I'll try on my webserver
On my webserwer doesn't work to:|
Any ideas?
Still the same error?
On a side note, perhaps you can take a look here:

You posted this in the wrong board.
I know posted in wrong forums. Sorry. Mods can move thread yes?
Listen, I did it!

Look here. But I got problem:
in my database I got posts from 21st May, but after converting the last post is from 14th of May?
What happend?
Edit:
Not all Private Messages was converted too. Only part of them
I'm afraid I can't help you much with that.
Am not really familiar with the convertors.
But maybe you can find similar issues here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=134.0
Or do a search.
I did a big search, but....Admin of the site I'm taking care of forgot to give my updated database:/
Very sorry, I didn't check it. Problem solved.
Thanks for help
