Title: Converter - Wrong File Location?!
Post by: NerdGasm on November 10, 2011, 11:52:52 AM
I'm extremely frustrated at the moment.
I have been wanting to convert my MyBB 1.6 board to SMF 2.0.1.
Though, neither converter will allow me.
All i keep receiving, even though the files ARE in the correct locations is;

Quote
    This converter was unable to find SMF in the path you specified.
    Please double check the path, and that it is already installed there.


Please help in any way possible! I need to get this done as soon as possible.

Are you following : http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Converting

For conversion, you have to install a fresh board of SMF so that you can make conversion to smf from current.

But nothing to explain my problem. I have no idea whats going on.

The converter files need to be placed in your SMF directory.
