Title: Problems with PHPBB to SMF conversion
Post by: theeda on February 08, 2005, 05:24:02 PM

I am having a problem with a conversion from PHPBB to SMF.

I installed SMF and got it working. I then attempt to run "phpbb2_to_smf.php". At first, I am presented with two fields, where I input the directories for both SMF, and PHPBB2. I then input the password for the database.

When I hit "Continue", I get a blank page, (the page has the "phpBB2 to SMF Converter" header, but the rest of the page has a grey background with no content).

The url shows "step=1" in the query string.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!
Chad

But, SMF works perfectly fine? Can I see a phpinfo? What is phpinfo.php? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=18250.0)

Hi,

Here is PHPInfo: http://www.theeda.com/theeda/phpinfo.php

I will look at the link that you posted... but I was able to install SMF. I logged on, posted a message, toyed around with the admin section.. didn't get any errors.

Thanks in adavnce for any help. ;)

Are you sure the phpBB installation still functions? Or... did you get it to work, after all?

I can't imagine what would cause the converter to simply quit like that. I would guess it must be some incompatibility, but SMF works fine and you seem to have everything else in PHP. Strange.
