Hey,
Complete newbie here, lol
I downloaded SMF and was messing round with it last night, I have decided I am going to stick with it however I need convert my old boards (phpBB 2.0.7) into SMF but I can't find the converter.
Could someone point me in the right direction please ?
Thanks

Downloads -> Converters and Tools :)
Cheers Mate.
Didn't even see that at the top there, could you change it to butotns or something :P
Right.
Just downloaded the converter, placed it into my ftp folder and ran it however it returned this error.
QuoteSorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of phpBB2. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.
Any ideas anyone?
You need to make sure you're either using the same MySQL user account for both SMF and phpBB or that they're installed on the same database.
They are installed on the same DB
Is converter in your smf folder?
Have you read http://www.simplemachines.org/community/readme_convert.html ? :D
It is in the SMF Folder and I have read that and did it to the letter ;D, still no good.
Still not working now.
Am beginning to think if I have the right folder selected for phpBB. Where does this normally get installed??
You see I didn't create this site, I bought it from the Previous Owner because he does not have the time to maintain it anymore.
Folder name is irrelevant.
Just tried to run it again, decided to Print Screen what I was given.

Well, like [Unknown] said, converter wont work with phpnuke.
ok.
I will continue to look, thanks for all your help.
Just been thinking now, if I convert my nuke forum to something which can be easily converted to smf, that would be great but does anyone know any forum software which nuke can be converted to ??
Maybe you should wait untill Grudge answers: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=35853.0
