sounds like a server specific issue.. you should convert on localhost, then upload the converted forum to your host.
How do I move my SMF board to a different host?

[SAFAD]

thanks bro but i did that & never work
i gotta go crazy cuz the forum somtimes apear & other times white page
P.S : dont think that am new bie cuz am developer & HLH (search in uncle googl xD)
Best Regards

have you tried using a fresh install from SMF on your server? (without converted data). is this the same issue with white pages from time to time?

[SAFAD]

yes i tried it more than 4 times & nothing goes well
as i said the forum works great in localhost but in my site white page
Best Regards

[ThorstenE]

you should contact your host about this issues.. a white page is an aborted php script or a missing php extension. you may chek the system requirements and compare it with a phpinfo();

[SAFAD]

yeh will try
thanks big bro

[SAFAD]

if you want to send you the link to check you're self i will

mhh, setting the session.save_path isn't a security risk (it's a "must have" for any php application using sessions) ..

php needs it for creating temporary session files. it's often set to /tmp but it can also be set to /home/username/phptmp or semething similar in your home directory.

also: increasing the memory_limit and script max_execution_time is not a security risk.

Change your host and you'll be happy with SMF

[SAFAD]

this isnt the prob
cuz when i install SMF it works great but after convert the white page
i will install SMF now to make you sure
Best Regards

[SAFAD]

look bro
Problem Solved
works great this before converting
anything to say ?

[SAFAD]

bro are you here ?
i amwaiting you reponse

[SAFAD]

any news bro?

[ThorstenE]

replied via PM

ok, checked it and got a white page .. I'll bet it is an issue with the session.save_path..

Do you have access to the webserver's error log?

I still get a white page

I'm trying to download the convert.php, but everytime I click on it on the first page of this thread, it takes me to another thread, and then it just goes in circles.

I have MyBB 1.4, and I want to convert to the SMF 1.1.8 software.

Thanks

Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE `databasename(edit by me) `.smf_members
    CHANGE COLUMN passwordSalt passwordSalt varchar( NOT NULL default '';

Caused the error:

    Unknown column 'passwordSalt' in 'smf_members'



I dont understand this error
I need help

[ThorstenE]

maybe the wrong SMF version? our converters are actually SMF 1.1.x only (not 2.0).
But you can convert to 1.1.8 and after successful conversion upgrade to 2.0
Upgrade SMF
