Title: Can't convert phpbb2 to SMF
Post by: taffus on July 24, 2013, 07:50:51 AM

Hi
I am having problems trying to convert from phpbb2 to smf 2.0.4
I get the error

Sorry, 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 Database account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error that was received from the Database was: Incorrect database name ''
both databases are now on my local laptop and in the same database but I still get the error
Any advice on how to proceed?
Mark
