Hi,
I try to convert YaBB 1.3.1 to the latest SMF using 384 YaBB Converter.
The problem is, that YaBB is on one server and the SMF on an other - so I am not sure if this is possible at all?
However I uploaded the files "converter.php" and "yabb_to_smf.php" into the SMF folder and ran it.
Now the path to SMF is okay, but the path to the YaBB Board is not since it says "Unable to find the settings for YaBB 1 Gold. Please double check the path and try again."
The path should be okay since the YaBB.cgi can be found under:
http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a9511358/fragenquelle/cgi-bin/YaBB_Forum_fragenquelle/yabb/YaBB.cgi [nofollow]

so I entered the path to YaBB as
http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a9511358/fragenquelle/cgi-bin/YaBB_Forum_fragenquelle/yabb/ [nofollow]

But it still says unable! So am I fully off the track, and is my conversion possibe at all?

thnaks,
best,
Christian

The two forums need to be on the same server, so your best bet would be to copy all the YaBB files to the same server that SMF is on.
