That doesn't show the version of MySQL.  It only shows the "Web server" info relating to Apache and PHP.  The MySQL server info is above that.  Mine looks like this:

No big deal.

I've never used MariaDB, but what I read is good.  However, my hosting service doesn't seem to provide it, so I'm stuck with MySQL.

I've never used MariaDB, but what I read is good.  However, my hosting service doesn't seem to provide it, so I'm stuck with MySQL.

However, I did try it just for this conversion process and it worked!  So here's a summary of what I just did, with the following stack:

• Windows 10
• Apache 2.2.59
• MariaDB 10.4.34
• PHP 7.4.9

I did a fresh install of SMF 2.0 and ran the converter for phpBB 3.2 (on my 3.3.14 install).  It seems to have brought everything over with a repeated PHP Warning.

Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in D:\MyWAMP\www\8087_simplemachines\forum\convert.php(1269) : eval()'d code on line 61

@vbgamer45 , you may find that useful.

Now to see if an export of the MariaDB will work on MySQL.

Next Imma poke it with a stick.   I've not done a lot of testing yet.

Did you import the passwords correctly? And the posts with the quote?

Did you import the passwords correctly? And the posts with the quote?

Sorry, I didn't see this.

No, it didn't bring passwords over, but I expected that.

As for quotes, my small test database didn't actually have any so I can't tell.

And, it appears that attachments and images were also lost.

I'm still hoping that @vbgamer45 can fix the SMF 2.1 converter to account for these problems.  I can't really go live with these issues, unless I take a lot of time manually fixing posts.

Since I'm not able to edit my post above, here's a correction with the full server stack I used to successfully convert from phpBB 3.3 to SMF 2.0 - I had the wrong Apache version.

• Windows 10
• Apache 2.4.59
• MariaDB 10.4.34
• PHP 7.4.9

Surprised passwords not picked up, thought we had that logic in SMF 2.1. My time is very limited unfortunately.

Is enable_password_conversion in the smf_settings table set to 1?

Yes, it is, in both my current database which is the final result of the conversion and upgrade, as well as the SMF 2.0 converted database, but not in a fresh SMF 2.0 install (doesn't exist).
