Have you tried the "Download" link at the top of the page? Works fine for me.

There is, to the best of my knowledge, a file called 2.x -> 3.x - the update is in the install folder and is called install_convert.php and has to be run as part of the install, it is not a separate script!

hehe sorry m8, might seem like a n00b here but .

do i need to overwrite the 2.x files then start the install ?

i have the 3.x files on another loction (i was thinking to import the 2.x database)
but i getting the:

No installation found
To perform a conversion you need to have a default installation of phpBB3. Please note that for a conversion the new installation and the old installation need to reside within the same database. You may now want to perform an installation.

No you do not overwrite phpbb2 - the installation need those files and you cannot import your phpbb3 database they are totally different.

You will have to reinstall phpbb2 - there is no other way!

If you haven't deleted phpBB2 database, you only have to upload phpBB2 files to the server.

The converter may convert it… though it will leave you with a lot of forum cleanup work.
Since phpBB3 is still in Beta, it's a good time to test the converter and see how it does for you before RC1 comes and you are ready to go live :)
