invisionfree to SMF 1.1RC2 im so confused ;-;

[Trista_BSR]

ok so I payed invision for the data I needed to convert to SMF
i have all the right converters ect uploaded but I dont really know what to do with this data file they sent me(yes i have the fake conf_global.php thing)

so basicly i downloaded from invision free this .smf file thats basicly a huge block of text to me
they sent this with the email:

Be sure you have a freshly installed IPB (v1.3.x) with the default mysql table prefix (ibf_).
Next empty the following tables on the fresh install (again make sure the install is using the prefix ibf_):
ibf_badwords
ibf_posts
ibf_calendar_events
ibf_categories
ibf_contacts
ibf_emoticons
ibf_forums
ibf_groups
ibf_members
ibf_messages
ibf_moderators
ibf_polls
ibf_stats
ibf_titles
ibf_topics
ibf_tracker
ibf_voters
ibf_cache_store
ibf_forum_perms
ibf_topic_mmod
ibf_validating;

or you can use these queries:

CODE
DELETE FROM ibf_badwords;
DELETE FROM ibf_posts;
DELETE FROM ibf_calendar_events;
DELETE FROM ibf_categories;
DELETE FROM ibf_contacts;
DELETE FROM ibf_emoticons;
DELETE FROM ibf_forums;
DELETE FROM ibf_groups;
DELETE FROM ibf_members;
DELETE FROM ibf_messages;
DELETE FROM ibf_moderators;
DELETE FROM ibf_polls;
DELETE FROM ibf_stats;
DELETE FROM ibf_titles;
DELETE FROM ibf_topics;
DELETE FROM ibf_tracker;
DELETE FROM ibf_voters;
DELETE FROM ibf_cache_store;
DELETE FROM ibf_forum_perms;
DELETE FROM ibf_topic_mmod;
DELETE FROM ibf_validating;



Then run the queries in the file you downloaded.

well i just uploaded the conf_global.php the convert.php and invision_to_smf into my current smf directory with the .smf file invison sent me and ran the convert file
i get this error

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of Invision Power Board. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: Table 'blackst4.ibf_members' doesn't exist

I have no idea what to do

come on someone has to know  i payed for the convert from invision free to 1.3 i just dont know how to convert that to smf

The SMF file that invision sent you needs to be uploaded into a database.

If you have phpmyadmin you can do that there.

Then you need to use the correct coverter - if you are on 1.0.7 then use the ones in the download area - if you have 1.1rc2 then you will need to use the converter here :
