Converting from IPB 2.0.0

Post by Moras »

Hello,

We have an old forum on IPB 2.0.0 and we would like to convert it to latest version of phpBB.

However I can't find any convertor for version 2.0.0, and as far as I know it's not possible to convert directly to 3.2.x

Can someone provide me the right files for this operation with tips how to do that? :)

Update:

After speding few hours on this I have successfully converted the board from IPB 2.0.0 to phpBB 2.0.23. I encountered just a known problem with user passwords that was fixed by editing the login.php file. Overall the board was working ok, I was able to log in.

Later on I decided to update from phpBB 2.0.23 to the latest version (phpBB 3.2.1), the converting process did not return any errors, but I am not able to log in anymore and the "forgot my password" does not work aswell.

Is there anyone who could advise on this, please?

Desperately trying to migrate from IPB v2.0.0 myself... Would you mind detailing your method or conversion script used?
