No. You upload convert.php to the directory in which you installed your Simple Machines Forum. You also upload the sql file to the same place.

No. When you run the convert.php (www.yoursite.com/forums/convert.php or something) just follow the directions. You will be asked for the path to you IPB forum and the converter will grab what it needs, leaving your IPB intact. Good luck.

I'm getting the following message
QuoteSorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of Invision Power Board 2. 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 'trampledelight12'@'62.214.98.165' for table 'ibf_members'

I'm not well versed enough to help at this point. I looks like you may not have permission to access your IPB database. Someone else will have to jump in and give you advice on this message.

Is this from the SMF tables or the IPB table?  It has to be from the IPB table.

Ok I'll debug it later on and see what's wrong in the regex.

Thanks- it is very much appreciated. Not entirely the same subject but I still can't figure out why the avatars are not showing up. Links to external avatars work.

Quick Note: I copied the signature code from the IPB table and pasted it directly into the SMF table and the signature worked like a charm. Is it possible that the signature table only needs importing and not converting?

Sorry but this one breaks things-
Converting board permissions... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    UPDATE `greeneleafad`.smf_boards
    SET memberGroups = '0, 10, 11, 24, 25, 26'
    WHERE ID_BOARD =;

Caused the error:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 3

Ok here.
Wow, that was quick! I'm reinstalling SMF/db so it's nice and fresh. I'll let you know how it goes in a few minutes.
Thanks once again.
