Title: IPB 2.0.3 to SMF 1.1.10 Conversion Problem
Post by: Salkiri on September 15, 2009, 07:52:48 PM
I'm trying to run convert my IPB 2.0.3 site to SMF 1.1.10 and keep getting an error:

Converting...
Recalculating forum statistics... Successful.

Notice: Undefined variable: to_prefix in /home/blackco/public_html/smf/convert.php on line 1821
Unsuccessful!
This query:
REPLACE INTO settings (variable, value)
VALUES ('conversion_time', 1253058161),
('conversion_from', 'invision2_to_smf.sql');
Caused the error:

No database selected


I've downloaded the latest SQL/Convert.php files from http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=149092.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=149092.0) and http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=140741.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=140741.0).

Installed a fresh version of SMF 1.1.10, copied the two files to the server and ran the convert.  I've done this several times and still getting the same error.

Any ideas on what I can do to get this to work.  I've been postponing the switch for almost a year now and I really need to get this forum converted.

TIA!

Hello there!
Please ignore the last error, it is not relevant to the conversion itself. (but a bug in the converter code, that wants to store some values for later debugging if need will ever be).

It is my understanding that the last step that matters was : "Recalculating forum statistics... Successful.", so your conversion has succeeded. :)
