[PhpBB 2.x to 3.06] Fatal installation error copying images

[Captain Pervert]

I have a phpBB 2.0.x (.23 I think) board which I want to convert to the latest 3.0.6.
My host runs out of memory (timeout), so I am trying an offline conversion (using EasyPHP and this excellent tutorial).

However, when converting, two things happen.

I get this error:



All folders are writable, but a closer inspection of the folder structure reveals this:



As you can see the copying of files goes bananas. It copies the entire webroot into images/avatars/gallery, and within that copy, another copy of the entrire webroot, and so on and so on until Windows does not allow the tree structure to be any deeper.

I reckon there is a bug in the conversion script (that came with the 3.0.6 installation package), something to do with the relative path. Of course, I use the correct relative path (../phpbb2). It is pretty frustrating since I don't even use these frickin avatars at all.

Also, it happens
1. Using a copy of my online phpBB2 installation
2. My exported database info a fresh phpBB2 installation.
So nothing should be wrong with my source files.

Can somebody fix this, or provide code so I can fix the converter myself?

I fixed it by putting the old board in the folder "test/test" and then pointing the converter to "../test/test"
It still copied the whole board to images/avatars/gallery but stopped after one copy.

I got it running now. Don't know why this occured.
