How to convert to smf is described in detail at the link that Aäron so kindly posted above.

Anyhow, you must install your smf forum in the same database as your phpbb forum. Or if you install it at a different database, then the smf db user must be granted full access and permissions to the phpbb forum''s database. Then upload the convert.php and .sql files to the folder where you have installed the smf, point your browser to the convert.php file and follow the instructions.

The conversion will not touch anything to your phpbb forum, but as a precaution, make a thorough backup of its database and forum files. Hope it helps

This converter was unable to find SMF in the path you specified.

Please double check the path, and that it is already installed there.

What to do?
I havnt installed it yet? How I install? I cant even find the install.php in the SMF. And do i have to lay the SMF INTO the phpbb path, or in a new path?
