Conversion successful but no data transferred

[dwilson805]

I am trying to convert from phpbb2 to smf.  The conversion process says "Converting... Successful.  Recalculating forum statistics...  Successful.".  However, no data (forums, posts, users, etc.) was added into the smf database.  Running mysql against the smf database shows that the user table, for instance, is unchanged.

Thanks for any ideas anyone may have!

Dan.

Common conversion errors.

php.ini contains: hxxp:session.save [nonactive]_path = "/var/lib/php/session"

the session directory is apache writable, and indeed contains a number of session files created by apache.
