this was the msg

after finishing members,topics,boards and went to posts it converted the 150.000 from 300.000 posts and i got this error

Converting posts (this may take some time)...
MySQL server has gone away

i use localhost

//edit

tried to re - convert only posts and again

Converting posts (this may take some time)...
MySQL server has gone away

[ThorstenE]

in ipb3_to_smf.sql find:

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}messages 200
---{

replace with:

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}messages 25
---{
$ignore =  true;

then re-run the converter.

[Ventic]

why that happens

edit:new error

Converting posts (this may take some time)...
Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

[ThorstenE]

Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

Do you have access to the mysql configuration file my.cnf? then you could modify the parameter max_allowed_packet_size...

Elsewise we can try to decrease the amount of concurrent imported posts to avoid this error.

find

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}messages 25
change to

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}messages 10

[Ventic]

cause it's converting slower the posts now i am able to change any configuration in order not to get the same error for mysql?

[Ventic]

all fine but now i got problem with posts and names

example of post:γειά..  <- its greek characters

edit:tried greek iso but same problem

[Ventic]

IPB is in ISO (latin1), SMF in UTF8.

But Polish characters can be easily fixed in Notepad++. Bigger problem are this broken emoticons links.
In IPB database it is saved as:

Code Select Expand

<img src='http://example.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/125.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
after conversion:

Code Select Expand

<img src=\\''http://example.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/125.gif\\'' class=\\''bbc_emoticon\\'' alt=\\'':)\\'' />

or links in signature (after finished conversion):

Code Select Expand

got the same problem.what to do

[ThorstenE]

character issues are mostly related to the source forum's character set. I suspect your IPB was installed with UTF-8. Please try to install SMF with UTF-8 (you can choose that in install.php) and use UTF-8 as character set for the converter.

[Ventic]

from the converter i used utf - 8 character

[ThorstenE]

from the converter i used utf - 8 character

SMF needs to be installed with UTF-8 support too,or we have a mixed structure which results in charset issues.

[Ventic]

i did that again

same problem again.greek chars appears like chinese

[ThorstenE]

mhh, please go to admin - maintenance - database and use the maintenance task "convert HTML entities to UTF8-Characters".. hopefully that one fixes your charset issues.
