vBulletin 4.0.x to phpBB 3.0.x

venukb · Post by **venukb** » Tue Dec 24, 2013 7:50 am

I am trying to convert from vBulletin 4.2.0 to phpBB3
- phpBB3 installation worked fine
- Downloaded this converter and able to see the converter in /install page
- However after inputting the DB settings I am seeing this error

**Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
No error message given.**

I have verified the DB settings multiple times now - Anyone know what this message might mean and how to resolve this?

(By default table prefix was set to vb_ and i blanked it out since I don't have any prefix for the tables)

Just try to create a new Forum section, then purge cache and your forum section will be back...
It was working for me...

I can't link my php errors log because for some reason its not logging anything at the moment.

I'm having this same issue. It looks related to PMs?

The vb_privmsgs_to_users() function in functions_vb4.php doesn't take into account that it's possible for the $users['cc'] to be NULL. Surround the foreach loop with an isset to test that something was actually passed:

Code: Select all

function vb_privmsgs_to_users($user_array)
{
  $users = unserialize($user_array);
  $to = '';
        
  if ( isset($user['cc']) )
  {
    foreach ($users['cc'] as $user_id => $username)
    { 
      $to .= ((!empty($to)) ? ', ' : '') . 'u_' . phpbb_user_id($user_id);
    }
  }
  return $to;
}

I did what you specified but there is no difference. I get this error, too.

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/install/index.php on line 363: Cannot modify header

Just a hunch, have you checked for directory permissions on it already?
