Covering database VB to phpBB3

Post by monisbu »

Hello, I had a VB board, after attack by a hacker I lost all the files but I still have the database only.
Is it possible to convert the VB database to be used with phpBB3?

Yes, it is possible. You will need to create a directory and place in it a dummy file named showthread.php. When you run the convertor and it asks you for database information and the relative path, point the relative path to the directory you just created.

You will find the location of the convertor in Available Convertors.
How to use the convertor is in Convert How To.
