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');

Sorry it didn't work for you. Some hosts don't allow the php.ini settings to be overridden. The alternative is to do the conversion locally. Use EasyPHP, WampServer, or XAMPP.
Some helpful tips are in this Knowledge Base article, Offline Conversions

It is also a possibility that when you moved to another server, the characters in the database became corrupted.

"Invalid multibyte sequence" indicates that you have invalid utf8 characters in your database. This may have happened when you moved the database. You should check the database first to see if the characters are corrupt and are the same as in the original database.

Hello, I am having a problem with the convertor. Everytime I click 'Continue conversion', it just keeps loading. i've had it loading overnight and there has been no difference.
