Converting topics...


the topics aren't converted and the script stop, there's no button to continue.

Can you help me?

Does it always do this in the same exact area?
How long about does it run before it gets to this?

I am thinking that possibly the script is taking to long and is terminated by something on your server to prevent from overloading it.

id does it in the same exact area

my ipb forum is a 600 Mo database

the ipbtopics table contains 8 728 lines
the ipbposts table contains 819 416 lines

when I retry with debug=1, no message appear

You might want to look into using the command line converter

It sounds like you have a big board (judging from the number of lines in the database) and the command line converter would be the best option here.
Apache is a little meanie and can get in the way when doing things like conversions. So by avoiding apache the conversion process is usually more smoother.

command line converter??? what is it?

where can I download it and how to use it?

thanks

The command line converter is built into the existing convert.php script.

Have you used things such as SSH or other command line stuff before?

[kokofiolo]

yes, I use Putty for my server

how can I use CLI with those parameters:
smf path = C:\Program Files\wamp\www\test\forum
ipb path = C:\Program Files\wamp\www\test\oldforum
sql file = invision_to_smf.sql

If I use this line, is it ok

php -f C:\Program Files\wamp\www\test\forum\convert.php -- --path_to=C:\Program Files\wamp\www\test\forum --path_from=C:\Program Files\wamp\www\test\oldforum  --convert_script=invision_to_smf.sql --debug

It should be if those are the correct paths for your web server. Unless you are doing it locally?

[kokofiolo]

I try it locally before, because I don't want to overload the server

The converter should do its best to try and not over load the server.
