WBB2 converting issues

[_Jojo_]

I'm currently trying to convert a WoltLab Burning Board 2.1.1 (yeah, pretty outdated) to SMF. However, I really seem to fail. The WBB forum was hacked 3 times before, this may be an issue, but I think that it's no in this case. It rather seems to be too large for the converter.

First, the server was not able to execute line 188 of the bb2smf.SQL file:

SUBSTRING(title, 1, 255) AS name, SUBSTRING(description, 1, 65534),

when i changed SUBSTRING(description, 1, 65534) to simply "description", it seemed to work. however, there are still no boards visible.

After fixing this, the converter bumps into a problem when trying to import the posts. I get this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 525989 bytes) in /[...]/smf/convert.php on line 861

how can i remedy this situation?
Thanks in advance,
jojo

EDIT: Strange, now everything seems to be more or less fine...

That second error means that converter script got to much data and was unable to hold it in memory, so php gave an error. Simple fix is to change the block size of the posts conversion and hope the smaller block size will let the posts converter. If it doesn't then you most likely have a really huge post that is taking forever and this could be the issue.
