Title: Quick Convertor Question
Post by: lupus on March 07, 2016, 04:14:44 PM
On the Converter it asks where the path to phpbb3 is.  Where do you find this in a phpbb board.  I've just taken over a phpbb board which i'm converting to smf like other boards I run.

Thanks.

You can usually just look at your File Manager (inside cPanel or similar). Depending on the server setup, it can have different paths but the most usual in shared hosting is
/home/uxxxxxxx/public_html
The "uxxxxxxx" bit is your hosting username, then other folders inside public_html might exist.

Thanks Margarett.  I managed to find it sifting around the about php section of the board.  Bleaaah not liking phpbb at all, can't wait to get it moved over.
