I downloaded smf 2.0.19 and set the php version to 7.4 but when I try to start the converter I get this error:

The converter detected that your host has open_basedir enabled on this server. Please ask your host to disable this setting or try moving the contents of your bbPress 0.8.3 to the public html folder of your site.

As the message says, you will have to contact your host to disable open_basedir.

phpBB / Postnuke PNphpbb2 to smf
Last post by Ricsca - Today at 02:36:15 AM
I need to convert an old Pnphpbb2 forum that from what I understand was a fork of phpbb2.
Searching online I saw that it has some small changes to the database but I don't know how to fix them with the available smf converter.
Could someone give me a hand?
Thanks

Thanks for answering.
As stated above the concerned htaccess is in site root, not in the SMF forum folder. It appears as if the mod is placed there automatically.
Actually, I noted this problem only because the htaccess file swelled from 6 something kb to 46 kb. Then found the list there.

I removed it manually. When I checked the mod section afterwards it showed the Botbanish mod as 'not installed'. But I did not touch it all when or after removing the bot list; I assume that I must have uninstalled some time earlier, but the list remained installed...I guess.

You need MySQL or PostgreSQL, not MSSQL. You also need PHP.

Once you have those installed and configured on your local host, yes, you will be able to install SMF on it. :)

SMF 2.1.x Support / Installing SMF on Localhost
Last post by Ahr Aitch - Yesterday at 10:47:11 PM
First, I'm 83 yo and haven't installed or run a forum in more than a decade.  I'm diving back in for a new purpose.  I need to know 1) if I'm posting in the right place, and 2) if I can install an SMF forum on my localhost.

I'm running Windows 11, Xampp with Apache and MSSQL.  I want to install the forum on my localhost to learn how to manage it and do a little testing before adding it to my website hosted on the web.

I read the requirements.  If I read them correctly and understood them, I should be OK hardware and host wise.  The bigger question is do I have the skills to do it.

Before I just dive in and try to follow the instruction in the User Manual, I thought I'd ask first if there is a specific guide for localhost installs.

TIA

.htaccess in forum root should only affect forum, nothing above that.  It will block IPs in the directory where it's located and any subdirectories of that directory.  Never tried Botbanish mod, but it shouldn't be doing anything above the forum directory.

How many attachments do you have?

Any server errors?

Who is your host?
