From eBlah 10.3.3 to SMF blues

[basssolo4u]

Hello,
I really like SMF and decided to convert a forum from eblah 10.3.3 to the latest SMF. I moved the eblah files from the cgi-bin to the public_html and started convert.php

Each time I am unsuccessful running the covert. it gives me errors on conversion saying

Converting membergroups... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE `database_name`.smf_membergroups
    ADD COLUMN tempMembers longtext,
    ADD COLUMN tempID int NOT NULL default 0;

Caused the error:

    Duplicate column name 'tempID'
and or the other error I get when retying is

    ALTER TABLE `database_name`.smf_membergroups
    ADD COLUMN tempMembers longtext,
    ADD COLUMN tempID int NOT NULL default 0;

ANY assistance would greaty be appreciated. I have tried deleting and adding entries through phpMyAdmin and can't seem to figure out what the problem is and how to remedy.

In advance I thank you for your response.

do you still need help with this?

It's giving you errors when you retry because the converter assumes that column isn't going to be there when it tries to add it the first time.

Go through the database and delete any columns with "temp" in their name, then try again.
