Title: Help wanted for conversion
Post by: Vlemmings on December 07, 2014, 06:50:03 AM
I try my installation of MyBB to convert to smf but I get the following error:

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of MyBulletinBoard 1.0. 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: SELECT command denied to user 'U1931899'@'tim.store' for table 'users'

Can anybody help me please

;)

In short: you need to make sure that the Mysql user for SMF's database is allowed to read (SELECT) MyBB's database.
