Any ideas? Thanks.

You have installed SMF, is this SMF connecting to the database correctly? Perhaps you can make sure you tell the converter the correct location of your newly installed SMF? Eventually reinstall SMF if necessary.

Alternatively, you could also check using this: repair_settings.php ( What is repair_settings.php? ). Upload this script to your SMF directory, and run it from the browser. You will see the database credentials, as well as many other settings and paths. If you have a message on that page, saying that SMF cannot connect to the database, check your credentials.

ON same server as VB. Everything is working fine with SMF except I can't copy VB to it. I saw that someone else was getting the same error on this post but it doesn't say how that was fixed. Thanks.

Can anyone tell m,e the minimum tables I need to copy to get board running? I don't care about attachments, PMs, polls or that stuff. All I really care about is probably the members, categories and posts, etc. 

I can't get convert to work and host is useless about help, I'm not a Unix guy. I can write php scripts or use phpAdmin to load tables. It's probably easier to load tables than write scripts to do this.

So anyone that can tell me the tables that I need to fill to get my posts and members over, it would be helpful. The only problem might be passwords. I really need those to get moved properly also. Thanks.

Well, you cannot copy the tables, they have a different structure, thus the data needs to be converted to work. Even, taken from more than one table to be put into one table, and the other way around.
You can look at "user" in vbulletin, and "members" in SMF, as far as members are concerned, but perhaps other tables matter too.

Do you have the convert.php and sql file uploaded to your SMF folder? Though it's possible to work if they're elsewhere, it may be better if they are inside SMF directory.

Are your SMF and vb installed in the same directory or same parent directory?
