Convert VB 3.8x to SMF with SSH?

[FF|Skyrider]

Possible someone can explain to me how to convert a VB 3.8.x board to SMF 1.1.9 with SSH? It's a quite large board with a lot of posts and threads, so SSH would be the best thing to do rather than doing it through the web. I've never did a SSH convert before from VB to SMF, thus I'm asking some help before things are being messed up . So far, the database of the SMF installation and VB are the same, just needing some help in commands and files to convert it without getting any kind of sql errors.

I guess no one knows after 2 days of no reply?

You should probably be able to just run the upgrade script from the SSH prompt.

For example:

Code Select Expand

# php ./upgrade.php

However running it through SSH is unlikely to fix the SQL errors during conversion. Please post the errors that you're getting

Our converter can be run from the command line. You would use a similar syntax as H has posted above, but replace upgrade.php with converter.php. After you run it once, it will tell you how to input the parameters it needs.
