password to continue

[dwayne]

ive tried all the passwords but it seems that i cant get the password right...

what is the "SMF DATABASE PASSWORD

need it badly to convert my IPB to SMF...

thanks...

It's the database password you used when installing SMF. This can be found in Settings.php - you need to have SMF installed first before using the converter.

Also - just as people always forget - make sure that the database user for SMF is the same as for Invision - if you installed SMF into the invision database then this is already the case - if not you'll want to use cpanel to add the SMF user to the Invision database - so they can see the data

please bare with me coz im not really good in scripting...

how will i add SMF user to the Invision Database? where will i go in the cpanel?

sorry for being ignorant on this..

thanks..

In cpanel do the following:
1) Log in
2) Go to "databases" (Possibly called MySQL Databases)
3) Scroll down the page, past all the database names/permissions etc, and you will see two select boxes side by side, under the heading "Add User to DB" (Or similar)
4) Select the SMF user you setup to use SMF (Probably has SMF in the name) in the first select box.
5) Select the Invision database (Probably has Inv or IPB in the name) in the second select box.
6) Click "add".

Done

Granted permissions on MySQL database damoobs_ibrd1 to MySQL user damoobs_smf1

thanks...

its working...

but theres a problem, the posts are not in order?

what am i going to do?

much thanks again... 

[Grudge]

If you go to the admin panel, then forum maintenance and then selec "Find and fix any errors" and then "Recount board stats" - does that fix it?

[dwayne]

no! it doesnt fix it..

done it already...

actualy the posts are good... but in the board index, it says that the last post was last May 22, 2004.. that date was the date i installed IPB...

[dwayne]

also, in one board, it says there that the last posted topic was this one, but actually, that topic is not inside that board..

all posts are kinda not in order...

A recount should fix many of these problems.  Posting in the boards or topics will also.
