Okay, here are the specs we are trying to convert...
Old forum (still active) phpBB 3.0.1 located at http://www.ucora.org/forum_ucora3/index.php

New forum (not being used yet) SMF 1.1.12 located at http://ucora.org/forum/index.php

I set up the forum on Host Gator using their Fantastico program, then upgraded with the package to 1.1.12.

When I try to convert the data over, I get the error that the Password is incorrect.  The problem is, the only password I used when I created the site was the one I used for the convert.  So how do I change or verify my actual SQL database password?

Anyone familiar with this process?

okay, I found the password, and got the convert attempted.  This is the result I got...

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of phpBB3. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: SELECT command denied to user 'i4x4give_smf1'@'localhost' for table 'phpbb_users'


So what does that mean?  Am I out of luck?

Nevermind, I think I found it, settings.php
