Title: FluxBB 1.5.6 To SimpleMachines 2
Post by: digiflash on May 11, 2014, 03:55:47 PM
I plan to convert my board to SimpleMachines.
Is there any tutorial for FluxBB?! or working script. PunBB should be a good option.
Someone here who recently converted from FluxBB?

I'm getting this error. This is correct because there is no smf_users. of course there is a smf_members.

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of PunBB 1.2.5. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: Table 'xxx.smf_users' doesn't exist


Do I have to copy the complete FluxBB database into the SM database?!

I manually edited the sql file to work.

Now I'm getting this:

Unsuccessful!
This query:

    SELECT @@SQL_BIG_SELECTS, @@SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE;

Caused the error:

    Unknown system variable 'SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE'

That converter is for 1.1.x

You should use this:

You have to replace "SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE" by "MAX_JOIN_SIZE" in the convert.php.
Now I'm having the problem with the salt passwords.

Stop for a moment and read my previous post. You are using a converter for a wrong SMF version!

Next error:

Making sure database structure is appropriate...Converting members...Field 'openid_uri' doesn't have a default value

I tried to set default value '' in the database. Doesn't help.

'' as openid_uri, '' as ignore_boards

No guys, no monologue.
The post from margarett helped me.
But the rest I have to solve on my own :)

I transfered my board already.

Thx for support!
