problem reinstalling SMF into a restored database

[tinatoth]

The other day, I tested the IPB 1.3 conversion to SMF on a copy of my forum's database. It worked.

So now, to get all the most recent posts into the official conversion, I had to restore the database, replace it with the most current one, and do the conversion again.

It should work, however, the SMF installer is giving me this error:

Code Select Expand

Some of the queries were not executed properly. This could be caused by an unsupported (development or old) version of MySQL.

I've checked the database in phpmyadmin and all smf_ tables are gone, the database only contains the invisionboard tables. Could the old smf ones be somewhere in some cache? Is that what "flush tables" means?

How do I fix this?

nevermind, my host sorted it out for me.
