Fatal installation error - functions_convert.php [ 658 ]

Post by Hellmark »

Ok, currently trying to upgrade phpbb2 to 3.1, and when running the convertor, I get the following error
Fatal installation error
Fatal installation error

functions_convert.php [ 658 ]

Note to developer: you must specify $convertor['smilies_path'] to use import_smiley().
So far, not had any luck looking around for a fix.

Anyone got a clue?

http://forum.socialdeviancy.com/ is the forum address.

On the server side, the old forum is located at /var/www/socialdeviancy.com/forum-old and /var/www/socialdeviancy.com/forum for the new forum.

The old board doesn't look like it's working
Could not connect: Access denied for user 'mysql_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

It needs to be.

The old board isn't working. The system was recently upgraded, and is now running versions of PHP and Mysql that seem to be incompatible with PHPBB2. That's why I was asked to see about getting things moved over to PHPBB3 (the site and server is a friend's).

He still has the old VM image. Should I try and boot that up, attempt a migration to phpbb3, then move things over to the new VM?

Unfortunately, the old system is running PHP 5.2.6, and 3.1.x needs 5.3.3 or newer.

You could go to 3.0.x first. That will run on the lower version of php.
Then you can upgrade php and to 3.1.x
