Use the b, it fixes some issues present in the a version.

Hey Dicky, sorry to bother you but I have a pretty simple problem but I cannot seem to figure it out. I am converting MyBB 1.6 to phpBB 3.0.9 and have everything else correct except for the relative path to the MyBB board. The MyBB is installed on the root domain (/public_html/) and the phpBB installation is on /public_html/forum . It is returning this error:

Code: Select all

Could not find path to your former board. Please check your settings and try again.
» ../forum was specified as the source path.
I have done many conversions and the converter always gets the path right. If I am not mistaken, ../forum is the correct relative path. Am I missing something or do I need to convert MyBB to 3.0.8 and update from there?

Sorry to bother you with such a simple question!

DarkMaster,

Get some sleep. You must be tired. You need to go FROM phpBB TO MyBB. The correct path is ../

Oh right... :roll:

I was running on 2 hours sleep + 13 hour work day and trying to convert a forum..not a good combo if I do say so myself. :P

After a nice nap and another 13 hour work day I got it to work. :P Sorry to waste your time Dicky. :(

Hello everybody!
I used the 002b file from this thread for the conversion. Besides the permissions messups which were easily enough fixed, none of my attachments are showing. How do I do the attachments?
I'm not having any other errors and everything seems to be working perfectly otherwise!

Edit: how about avatars?
Thanks.

The convertor is not setup yet to do attachments. I am working on that.

Avatars should display. Make sure you have set avatars to be allowed in the Administration Control Panel under Avatar Settings.

Try this:
Open phpbb3/install/install_convert.php

Find:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
*
* @package install
* @version $Id$
* @copyright (c) 2006 phpBB Group
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License
*
*/

/**
*/
After add:

Code: Select all

@set_time_limit(0);
@ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
@ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '128M');
@ini_set('post_max_size', '256M');
@ini_set('max_input_time', '-1');
@ini_set('max_execution_time', '-1');
@ini_set('expect.timeout', '-1');
@ini_set('default_socket_timeout', '-1');

Where is phpBB?
If it is at /home/mysite/public_html/phpBB3, the relative path is ../mybb.
