[SMF Converter] Yabb - 2.1

[JayBachatero]

Well remember that the case for the path matters.  Also check the file permission.

mlsred: not sure what to tell you.  Can you zip up the whole members dir and send it to me?

[rastarasta]

I have checked (and double checked) that the case is correct. What permissions are required please?
(both Yabb and smf forum are fully functional)

[JayBachatero]

644 should be fine but try 777 or 755 just in case.

[rastarasta]

I tried both 755 and 777 - it still says cannot find yabb installation 

Am using convert.php from the Yabb 2.1 convertor from this site and the yabb21_to_smf.php from the start of this thread

[JayBachatero]

Can you PM me the info and I'll give it a shot and see if I can gather some info.

[rastarasta]

Have PM'd info ... Let me know if you need any additional info.

[JayBachatero]

Ok check to see where the Settings.pl and the Paths.pl files are located at.  Also attached a new converter.  Fixed an issue with converting boards with local moderators.

[rastarasta]

ok have downloaded new yabb21_to_smf.php (same error when running convert.php)

Paths.pl is in Yabb root (/cgi-bin/yabb)
Settings.pl is in variables folder (/cgi-bin/yabb/variables)

[JayBachatero]

What are the permissions of both files?

[rastarasta]

Paths - 755
Settings - 644
.... am going to try chmoding settings to 755 ........ No change
Will chmod it back to 644

[JayBachatero]

Send me both files to my email.  [email protected]

Files should be with you

[JayBachatero]

mlsred I just ran the conversion on the files you sent me and it worked correctly.  Not sure what is causing it.

OK Thanks. Are the error messages that I get all related to the memebers files?

[JayBachatero]

Yea they are related to the members files.

[mlsred]

Yea they are related to the members files.

OK thanks. I assume there is nothing more I could do then to make it work? Should I put the forum in maintenance mode before the conversion?

[JayBachatero]

Yea it's recommended to be put in maintenance mode.  I'll see what I can do.

I get

Code Select Expand


Converting attachments (if the mod is installed)... Unsuccessful!
This query:
        SELECT ID_MSG, temp_filename
        FROM `smf`.smf_messages
        WHERE temp_filename != ''
        LIMIT 0, 100;

Caused the error:
        Unknown column 'temp_filename' in 'field list'


And the convertions stops. The users and boards are converted, but no messages.

[JayBachatero]

Do you have that mod installed?
